We are very glad to announce the release of JGive v1.6 to all subscribers. This version comes with some great UI- Pin layout, campaigns column & Usability features. Changes like One Page checkout, Invoice customisation, PayPal - recurring donations, module and much more.
Have a glimpse of what are we offering in this version
Pin Layout:
Make your Donation Campaigns look altogether new, attractive and easy to navigate with the Pin Layout
Paypal adaptive payments to make Fees much easier!
PayPal Adaptive payments let us do Split Parallel payments instantly. Which means if the Donor is making a Donation/ Investment of 200$ & the fees owed to the site owner are 20$, then we can make instant payments of 180$ to the campaign owner & 20$ to the Admin for his fee. Note that this feature will only be available for the PayPal payment gateway.
This is a comparatively complex feature & wouldn’t have made it this early into JGive if it wasn’t for some commercial supporters who have sponsored some part of this development so that it could be done earlier. Thanks, guys!!
