<p>This plugins gives you a great framework to use for integrating with PayPal.<br />
It stores both live and sandbox API credentials and allows you to switch back<br />
and forth easily.  All NVP API calls are passed through the framework and<br />
default values such as API version, API credentials, and even currency code are<br />
added to the request based on settings from the admin panel.</p>
<p>It also has a built in IPN listener that validates messages as coming from<br />
PayPal then throws WordPress actions based on messages received.  For example it<br />
throws “paypal-recurring_payment_profile_cancel” when someone cancels a<br />
recurring payment that they had set up with you.  It passes along all the info<br />
that PayPal sent to the action, so it’s simple to create other plugins that use<br />
this one.</p>
<p>Requires PHP5.</p>

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

<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>
