Blatchy Donations
Built for forums. Powered by your members.

Overview
A complete donation system for XenForo communities. Give your members a clean, professional way to support your forum, track campaigns, see progress toward goals, and recognize top contributors — all without leaving your site. Donations flow through your existing XenForo payment processors, so you keep full control over fees, currencies, and payment methods.

How it works
Members visit your donation page (or click your sidebar widget), pick a preset amount or enter their own, and complete payment through your configured processor. Their donation gets credited to the active campaign, the goal bar updates in real time, and they're added to the leaderboard.

Features

• Donation page with live progress bar, recent donor activity, and gift-size distribution chart.
• Sidebar widget showing campaign goal, total raised, top donor of the month, and 12-month giving history at a glance.
• Customizable preset amounts — set your own quick-pick buttons (e.g. $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250) or whatever fits your community.
• Custom amount entry for donors who want to give something specific.
• Multiple campaigns — run a general fund alongside time-limited drives. Each campaign has its own goal, dates, and totals.
• Leaderboard showing top donors month-to-date, all-time, or per-campaign. Donors can opt out and donate anonymously.
• Recent activity feed showing the latest gifts (respecting anonymity preferences).
• Guest donations supported — no account required to donate (toggle on/off per your preference).
• Recurring donation support for processors that handle subscriptions.
• Email receipts sent automatically on every successful donation.
• Admin dashboard for viewing all donations, filtering by campaign, status, and date range, with exports.
• Per-campaign tracking — see exactly how much each campaign has raised and from whom.
• Min/max donation limits configurable to prevent abuse or accidental overpayments.
• Permission-gated — control which user groups can donate via standard XenForo permissions.
• Configurable currency symbol for non-USD forums.

Charts and reporting
The donation page includes two interactive SVG charts that update as donations come in:

• Monthly totals — 12-month rolling line chart showing how much your community has given each month.
• Gift size distribution — bar chart breaking down donations by size bucket so you can see whether you're getting a few large gifts or many small ones.

The sidebar widget shows a compact bar chart of monthly totals so members can see momentum at a glance from any page on your forum.

Native XenForo integration
Donations are handled through XenForo's built-in purchasable system. That means:

• Use any payment processor your XenForo site already supports — Stripe, PayPal, etc.
• All donations show up in Tools → Payment provider logs alongside your other transactions.
• Refunds processed through your normal XenForo flow automatically reverse the donation.
• No third-party API keys, no external services, no recurring fees to anyone except your payment processor.

Requirements
XenForo 2.3 or higher with at least one active payment profile configured.
