WordPress Simple Paypal Donation Plugin

Home » Blog » WordPress Simple Paypal Donation Plugin

Last updated: December 7, 2016





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.

    @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?

    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.

  29. Ryan Howard says:

    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.
