Don8 is an incredibly easy to use, very straightforward WordPress plugin, used for placing a PayPal donate button on your site. The plugin comes with settings for defining defaults for:
<ul>
<li>Cause,</li>
<li>Amount,</li>
<li>PayPal email address,</li>
<li>Currency</li>
<li>Button image</li>
</ul>
To use, simply place the <code>[don8]</code> shortcode in your content and the settings defaults will be used. Shortcode parameters can be used to override the default settings. Here is an example:
<pre><code>[don8 cause="Adoption Fund"
currency="USD"
email="kyle@test.com"
amount="10000000000"
button="http://example.com/images/button.png"]
</code></pre>
This example would render a PayPal button which, when clicked on, would take the user to a PayPal screen where they can enter in their payment information to make a donation to kyle@test.com for $10,000,000,000 towards the Adoption Fund.
