<p>🚀 Multi Author Donation turns your WordPress site into a seamless donation platform for multi-author blogs, allowing each author to collect tips or support directly from their profile bio on posts and author pages. Choose between PayPal (simple email setup) or Stripe (secure OAuth Connect for direct payouts), or enable both for flexibility. Admins control activation, and authors connect their accounts effortlessly.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Direct Donations</strong>: Authors receive funds straight to their accounts—no site intermediary.</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Choices</strong>: Let authors pick PayPal, Stripe, or both, with buttons displayed dynamically.</li>
<li><strong>Easy Integration</strong>: Works with most themes, including Elementor, via filters, shortcodes, or PHP tags.</li>
</ul>
