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. There is also options available for currency, localization of the button, custom payment page style and the return page.

<h4>Widget</h4>
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.
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
Insert the button in your pages or posts with this shortcode
<pre><code>[paypal-donation]
</code></pre>
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:
<pre><code>[paypal-donation purpose="Spline Importer" reference="3D Plugins"]
</code></pre>
This donation plugin generates valid XHTML Transitional and Strict code.

Form Countdown is a <a href="https://givewp.com/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Free_Addons&utm_content=Countdown_Timer" rel="nofollow ugc">GiveWP</a> add-on allows you to display a countdown on your donation forms until a certain date/time. Various actions are available when the countdown expires.
Limiting your donation campaigns to a certain time-frame is useful for communicating a sense of urgency. When your donors know that their window to donate is limited to a certain timeframe, they are less likely to postpone giving to a later time.
FEATURES
<ul>
<li>Display the countdown until a specific date/time.</li>
<li>When the form is closed, display a custom message to your donors thanking them for their generosity. Or show/hide the form or the countdown clock.</li>
<li>Choose from dark, light, or custom color schemes. </li>
</ul>
BASIC USAGE
All of the Form Countdown settings are per form, so you will not find anything in “Donations > Settings”. Instead, go to “Donations > All Forms” and click on your form.
There you’ll see our tabbed “Donation Form Options” interface. Towards the bottom is a new tab called “Form Countdown”. There you’ll have the following options:
<ul>
<li>Show Countdown — Enable or Disable your the countdown clock to appear on this form. All other fields will appear when you select “Enable”.</li>
<li>End Date — Set the end date that the countdown clock is counting down toward.</li>
<li>End Time — Set the time of day for which the countdown clock will end on the designated “End Date”.</li>
<li>Clock Color Scheme — Choose from “Dark”, “Light”, or “Custom” color schemes for your countdown clock.</li>
<li>Pick Your Custom Color — A Colorpicker field to choose your custom color. Only appears when “Custom” is selected for the “Clock Color Scheme” setting. </li>
<li>Countdown Achieved Action — Chose from a list of different actions to happen when the countdown clock reaches its end. These options allow you to show/hide the clock, the form, or a custom message. </li>
<li>End Message — Show a message when the countdown clock reaches its end. Only shows for relevant settings of the “Countdown Achieved Action” setting.</li>
</ul>
