Description

Put a simple PayPal donation form on any post or page with a shortcode. The form has buttons for quick donation amounts, the option to enter your own amount, and the option to choose a one-time or monthly recurring donation.

Use the shortcode [vsdf_donation_form] on any page, and set your PayPal email address, currency, amount buttons and button text under Settings > Donation Form.

External services

This plugin sends your donors to PayPal to complete their donation. When a donor clicks the donate button, the form submits the donation amount, the donation type (one-time or monthly), the currency code, your PayPal email address and your chosen return page URL to paypal.com. Nothing is sent to PayPal until the donor clicks the button.

What if I want a new feature?

Ask in the support forum. I may add it for you.

Can I use a currency other than US dollars?

Yes. Enter the three-letter currency code and the symbol you want displayed in the plugin settings.

Great simple plugin!

  • Security: all settings are now sanitized when saved, and all output is escaped.
  • Fix: removed a stray output-buffer flush that could interfere with other output on the page.
  • The form’s CSS and JavaScript now load only on pages that show the form; the admin CSS and JavaScript load only on the plugin’s settings page.
  • Renamed script and style handles so they cannot collide with other plugins.
  • The currency symbol is now used in the default-amount choices on the settings page and in the form’s validation messages.
  • Fixed the broken logo image, invalid link and label markup on the settings page, and duplicate HTML ids and attributes in the form.
  • Moved the settings page script into its own file and replaced deprecated jQuery calls.
  • Added translation support for visible text.
