WordPress Paypal Donation Plugin

Categories: Wordpress Plugin

WordPress Paypal Donation Plugin can be used to receive donation in one click via PayPal. Donation can be received in multiple currencies. The plugin can be used in the sidebar, posts and pages of your WordPress site.

I decided to write this plugin after receiving several requests from my readers who liked my WordPress Easy Paypal Payment or Donation Accept Plugin and wanted a simple donation plugin where the visitor can choose/update the donation amount. The donation header is customizable from the plugin settings option.

Following is a screenshot of the WordPress Donation Plugin:

PayPal Donation Plugin Usage

There are three ways you can use this plugin to show the PayPal donate button on your site:

1. Add the following shortcode to a post or page where you want the PayPal donate button to appear:

[wp_paypal_donation]

2. Call the function from a template file: <?php echo paypal_donation_receive(); ?>

3. Use the WP PayPal Donation Widget from the Widgets menu.

@Barbara, I added an option in this plugin to specify a “Thank You” page URL. Please download the new version from this page and you will see this new option.

Thanks for the donate button. Is there a way to redirect the donor back to a thank you page on my website after they complete the payment?

Hi, Yes this plugin works with smartphones and iPads.

Donating is such a great cause and I know many people that do it when they are able. Adding a Paypal widget for donations purposes is a wonderful idea. Will the widget be able to work from the WordPress mobile app or would a person willing to donate have to do so through a browser? I really hope that the widget has full mobile app functionality given the increase in popularity for smartphones.

#23 by Nicole Powel on January 27, 2011 - 7:21 am

hey

thanks so much, I have just realized that it can work as a step in creating a successful seo strategy.
But first – create a powerful website, that helps, and than just install it

thanks, Nicole

This is a handy plugin. Has anyone had any experience with these donate plugins? What sort of success have you had? I love the idea, I’m just not sure if my users would actually be willing to donate.

That’s a tidy looking widget. I guess you’d really have to have a blog that was offering something of value to get donations.

#35 by Adam@How To Make Money Online on July 8, 2010 - 7:46 pm

I like this plugin , but not every one can use it.
before you try to use this plugin you need
-1st to have high quality helpful content so encourage peoples to donate you
-2nd keep in updated content that peoples can benefit from it.
-3rd write message before donation like ” donate me even little so i can get you high quality updates with good hosting company”

Yep, simply overwrite the image “donate_btn.gif” with the image that you want to use (this image is inside this plugin’s directory)
