BlueFire’s Main Features
- Awesome pricing! No PCI compliance, IRS, or Gateway fees. Only 3% charge per transaction. I guarantee the dashboard and setup on the back end is worth that extra .1% over PayPal. Also, only 1% charge for e-checks! This wordpress donation plugin comes at a great pricepoint!
- Rapid Setup! Once approved you can edit your giving form, copy your code, and drop it straight into your site for donors, complete integration. You no longer needs an SSL to secure your site. BlueFire’s ‘Page in Page’ technology is secured with military grade encryption. Like I said, it’s not exactly a wordpress donation PLUGIN, but it still adds crazy functionality to your giving center, which is the point of a plugin anyway.
- Robust Control! The control panel gives you instant access to site transactions. Authorized useres from your organization are given access to view insights, create new giving forms, and more.
- Great Donor Options! You can set your forms to reflect your church accounts. Meaning givers can select whatever fund you want and designate specific amounts for each. For example, $150 to tithes and then $20 to missions, all in the same transaction. In addition to one time gifts you have the option to set up recurring giving.
- Event Management! Do you have a conference coming up? You can create an event, accept ticket payments, and track registration all in one place. You can also request additional info like shirt size, title, etc.
- Directly and Quickly Deposited! Bluefire has the same 48 hour turn around time as Stripe, which beats PayPal by at least a whole day. No transfers necessary either. It’s deposited directly to your bank account. Any wordpress donation plugin using paypal will be atleast 72 hrs.
- Mobile Giving! Have you ever tried to give online using your phone and it was awkward because the form was made for a desktop? BlueFire fixes this by allowing your forms to detect mobile phones/tablets and switch seamlessly to a mobile giving form. This wordpress donation plugin is perfect for giving from a tablet, phone, or desktop!
- Donor Accounts! Givers have the option to set up an account so at any time they can view how much they’ve given. An account to login to encourages regular giving and provides a sense of ownership to donors. This is the equivalent of a membership plugin, of which good ones cost 60+. This wordpress donation plugin comes with member capability built right in. Great for ministries that have ‘partners’ that give a recurring gift every month.

Nice article Andrew about WordPress donation plugin and completely agree with your thoughts that there are many plugins available but most of them are not fit enough for Church to receive online donation.
I would like to suggest another free wordpress plugin for Church “WP Church Donation”. Specially designed for Church websites to accept donation using Authorize.Net credit card processing and not redirecting to other sites for processing payment.
Also there are other features as well like Donation list, Donor information, dynamic thank you message and thank you email content management, etc.. The plugin is free but having good features. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-church-donation/
