TL;DR
If the anonymous donation checkbox is not visible, it is most likely due to you using the Gutenberg Checkout. We recommend using the [woocommerce_checkout]
shortcode instead.
Why is the Anonymous Donation Checkbox Missing?
When using Donation Platform for WooCommerce, you can enable an option to allow donors to choose whether they want their donation to be anonymous or public. This option can be found in the settings under Enable anonymous / public checkbox. Additionally, you must specify text for the Text of anonymous / public checkbox field.
If you have properly configured these settings but do not see the checkbox in the checkout form, the issue is likely due to your checkout setup.
Gutenberg Checkout Block Compatibility
Currently, Donation Platform for WooCommerce does not fully support the WooCommerce Gutenberg Checkout Block. While some features may work, others—such as the Anonymous Donation Checkbox and the Fee Recovery Checkbox—may not function as expected. This limitation is due to differences in how the Gutenberg Checkout Block handles form elements compared to the traditional WooCommerce checkout system.
Recommended Solution
To ensure full functionality, we recommend using the WooCommerce Checkout Shortcode:
[woocommerce_checkout]
This shortcode loads the classic WooCommerce checkout page, which is fully compatible with all Donation Platform for WooCommerce features, including the anonymous donation checkbox.
