## Make donations easier {#make-donations-easier}

Donors have the ability to choose the type of donation per their convenience at any given time. Recurring donations enable donors to build a consistent habit of planned giving, contributing an amount that aligns with their personal convenience and preferences.

Mastercard Donate allows donors to select a recurring donation of their choice, such as monthly, micro, or round-up donations. With recurring donations, donors can start or stop donating whenever they like. For more details on the different types of donations available with Mastercard Donate, refer to the [Donation Types](https://developer.mastercard.com/donations/documentation/donation-types/index.md) section.

Declined transactions with specific reasons, such as insufficient funds, are automatically retried in the following month to ensure that the donation can still be processed. However, if a transaction is declined due to more critical reasons, such as the card being expired or reported as stolen, Mastercard Donate revokes the associated donation setup. This ensures the security and accuracy of the donation process while addressing issues that cannot be resolved through retries. For more details on transaction declines due to specific reasons, refer to the [Payment Gateway Donate Specific Error Codes](https://developer.mastercard.com/donations/documentation/code-and-formats/index.md#payment-gateway-donate-specific-error-codes) section.
Note: For each payment card, a donor can set up one monthly donation, along with either a micro-donation or a round-up donation.
