Mega Backing is a free WordPress plugin that connects your website to the Mega Backing donation platform. It lets charities, content creators, influencers, and anyone raising funds collect donations or tips from their audience in a fun, social, and engaging way.
How it works: This plugin is the WordPress connector for the Mega Backing platform. When a donor gives, their payment is processed through Stripe (connected to your own Stripe account via Mega Backing’s Stripe Connect platform). The Mega Backing platform charges a 2.5% service fee on each successful transaction — this is how the platform is maintained and kept free for site owners to install and use. There is no monthly subscription or setup fee.

<h3>Pricing</h3>
Mega Backing is free to install and use. The Mega Backing platform charges a 2.5% service fee on each successful donation processed through the plugin. This fee is deducted automatically via Stripe Connect — there is nothing to pay upfront and no monthly subscription. Stripe’s own processing fees are separate and vary by country (e.g. 2.9% + $0.30 in the US; 1.5% + £0.20 in the UK).
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services. By activating and using this plugin you agree to the terms and privacy policies of each service listed below.
<h4>Stripe</h4>
Used to process donation payments. Card details are collected by Stripe.js (loaded from Stripe’s CDN) and sent directly to Stripe’s servers. Donor payment information never touches your WordPress server. Stripe also handles monthly subscription billing and platform fee collection.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: payment details, donor email (for receipt), donation amount and currency.</li>
<li>Service URL: https://stripe.com</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://stripe.com/ssa</li>
</ul>
<h4>Mega Backing Platform</h4>
The Mega Backing platform handles Stripe Connect account authorisation and collects the 2.5% service fee on each transaction via Stripe Connect application fees. When you click “Connect with Stripe”, you are redirected to Stripe and then back through the Mega Backing relay server, which exchanges the authorisation code for your Stripe account credentials. The relay server does not process, store, or have access to any donor payment data — it is only involved in the one-time account connection step.
<ul>
<li>Data sent during setup: Stripe OAuth authorisation code (one-time only).</li>
<li>Data sent on each transaction: 2.5% service fee collected by Stripe on behalf of Mega Backing.</li>
<li>Relay URL: https://megabacking.com/relay/</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://megabacking.com/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h4>GIPHY</h4>
Used for GIF search in the optional shoutout section. GIF search is disabled by default and only activates when a free GIPHY API key is entered in plugin settings. When a donor searches for a GIF, their search query is sent to GIPHY’s API.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: GIF search query text.</li>
<li>Only active when: GIF feature is enabled AND a GIPHY API key has been configured in Mega Backing → General settings.</li>
<li>Service URL: https://giphy.com</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://support.giphy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032872931</li>
</ul>
<h4>Google Fonts</h4>
Used to load custom fonts when the Custom Theme Builder is enabled and a Google Font is selected in Mega Backing → Appearance. The font name is sent to Google’s servers to retrieve the font stylesheet. This only occurs on the frontend when a visitor views a page containing the donation widget and a custom Google Font has been configured.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: Font family name (no personal data).</li>
<li>Only active when: Custom Theme Builder is enabled AND a Google Font name is entered in appearance settings.</li>
<li>Service URL: https://fonts.google.com</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
Mega Backing stores the following personal data when a donation is made:
<ul>
<li>Donor name and email address — used for confirmation emails and shoutout display.</li>
<li>Donation amount, currency, and Stripe transaction IDs — stored for financial reporting.</li>
<li>Optional message/shoutout text and GIF URL — displayed publicly on the shoutout wall if submitted.</li>
</ul>
Personal data is automatically anonymised after the retention period configured in Mega Backing → Privacy (default: 7 years, in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements). Data can be exported or erased via Tools → Export/Erase Personal Data.
No personal data is shared with the Mega Backing relay server. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe.
