<p>Adds a PayPal donation shortcode and sidebar Widget to WordPress. The options menu lets you setup you PayPal ID and a few other optional settings. You can choose which donation button you want to use or if you want to use your own button. You can also set an optional default purpose and reference which can be overridden on each inserted instance with the shortcode options or in the Widget settings.

<h4>Widget</h4>
<p>In the Appearance -> Widgets you’ll find the PayPal Donations widget. After adding it to your sidebar you can enter a title for the Widget, some descriptive text that will appear above the button and specify an optional purpose and reference for the donation button to override the default settings.</p>
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>Insert the button in your pages or posts with this shortcode</p>
<pre><code>[paypal-donation]
</code></pre>
<p>Which is the simplest option, and uses all default and optional settings. If you want to make a specific button for a specific purpose you can add additional options. Example:</p>
<pre><code>[paypal-donation purpose="Spline Importer" reference="3D Plugins"]
</code></pre>
<p>This donation plugin generates valid XHTML Transitional and Strict code.</p>

<strong>Sarah Gran</strong><br />
<strong>Director of Communications at Let’s Encrypt</strong></p>
<p><em>“Before using Donorbox we were constantly having problems with our online donation processing. Donors contacted us monthly having problems setting up their gifts. Since transitioning to Donorbox we have not had a single donor contact us saying they were having trouble setting up a gift. In fact, we’ve had several donors tell us how easy the new process is. The Donorbox team has been extremely responsive when we need help and have already implemented suggestions for future features. I have no hesitations recommending Donorbox to you.”</em><br />

<strong>Grad Resources</strong></p>

Enter Donorbox – a simple, easy to use and customisable donation solution with Salesforce integration. Set up was as simple as creating an account (and donation campaign), adding a plugin to our WordPress site and configuring the connection to Salesforce. Donorbox handles the rest. Support is always prompt to respond and provide helpful answers to our questions and queries. If you’re after a donation system for your website then we’d recommend you give Donorbox a go.”</em><br />
