This month, we’re excited to announce a few major improvements to the PayPal donation experience for both you and your donors! Most notably, donors can now complete a PayPal donation without leaving your site. Stay tuned, we’ve got more fun features coming out in the next few releases. # What’s new ### Improved PayPal Integration We’ve improved the PayPal experience for both you and your donors. To access these new updates, [reconnect your PayPal account](https://help.funraise.io/en/articles/5509768-connect-paypal). _Improvements include_ - Donors can complete a PayPal donation on your website, _without a redirection_ 🎉 - Recurring donations can be made with PayPal - Donations made with PayPal can be refunded in Funraise - Tickets can be purchased with PayPal - PayPal transactions are settled immediately (no more 7-day pending transactions) With the new PayPal connection, Funraise Transaction Fees will be assessed at the time of the transaction, _similar to Stripe_. To activate this new PayPal experience, [reconnect your PayPal account](https://help.funraise.io/en/articles/5509768-connect-paypal). ### Saved Payment Method Autofill When completing a donation on Funraise’s form, donors can autofill saved payment method details from their browser or password manager extensions. This functionality is browser or extension-specific, but Funraise forms allow autofills, which leads to trusted and efficient donation experiences. * * * # Coming soon! ### Fundraising Commitments Require fundraisers to raise a specific amount and then charge their payment method for any remaining amount they were not able to raise through their page. ### Giving Portal App - Subscription Management Currently, donors can manage their donations and access yearly donation summaries in [Funraise’s Giving Portal App](https://help.funraise.io/en/articles/5059288-giving-portal-mobile-app-giving-by-funraise). Soon, donors will be able to edit their recurring subscription details and payment methods in the Giving Portal App. ### Donors Cover Fees Funraise will be implementing a [Donors Cover Fees](https://help.funraise.io/en/articles/5063368-donors-cover-fees) model this year. This update will guarantee an effective Platform Transaction Fee rate of 0% for qualified transactions. * * * # Housekeeping In an effort to deliver the world’s best fundraising platform, we sometimes have to say goodbye to features that aren’t up to par or have a superior alternative. If you have any questions about these feature sunsets, contact your Success Manager. ### Feature sunsets this month - **Giving Form V1:** Legacy Forms (V1) can no longer be created. ### Feature sunsets coming soon - **Yearly Donation Summary Email Automation:** The Yearly Donation Summary Email Automation will be sunset by `October 1, 2021` in favor of the [donor portal app](https://help.funraise.io/en/articles/5059288-giving-portal-mobile-app-giving-by-funraise) where donors can access historic donations and yearly giving summaries. In Funraise, you will still be able to send a Yearly Donation Summary PDF through email to a donor at any time. - **Legacy Sites:** Legacy Campaign Sites (any site created before January 8, 2021) will be sunset on `Jan 1, 2022`. - **Operations Tip:** Funraise’s Operations Tip feature will be superseded by [Donors Cover Fees](https://help.funraise.io/en/articles/5063368-donors-cover-fees). Donors Cover Fees functionality will be released sometime in 2021.
