Note: Recurring plans set up on the 29th, 30th, or 31st will process on the 28th for the following months. This is because not every month has 29-31 days.

Monthly recurring plans can also be paused. To pause a monthly plan, select Pause Plan on the recurring plan page. Then, choose a date for the plan to resume.

When a change is made to a plan, the donor is sent an email notification.

Payment information

Select Update to edit the credit card and billing information for the recurring donation.

You can switch the payment method to a credit card from PayPal or ACH, but you cannot switch it back. To switch back, supporters will need to update their plan on their own. If a supporter creates a recurring donation using a Digital Wallet, they cannot switch to another Digital Wallet. However, they can switch to the credit card they use for digital wallet transactions.

Note: You'll need to have GoFundMe Pro Pay or Braintree as your payment processor to use PayPal and you'll need to have GoFundMe Pro Pay as your payment processor to use ACH (bank transfer) and digital wallets.

Supporter

Next to Supporter, select Edit to specify whether the recurring donation is anonymous. If you’d like to edit the supporter’s name and contact information, select their name or avatar instead.

Campaign

Next to Campaign, select Edit to specify which campaign the donation belongs to. If the campaign allows fundraising, you can also specify which fundraising team or page the donation belongs to. You can also choose to credit the past donations to the new campaign and fundraising pages.

Note: Donations from campaigns using Donor Covered Fees (DCF) can't be transferred to older campaigns that use Classy Mode. If the donation you want to transfer came from a DCF campaign, Classy Mode campaigns will not appear in the dropdown and you must transfer it to another DCF campaign.
