The Recurring Donations plugin allows you to accept recurring donations via PayPal from your website.
It has a user-friendly and simple shortcode that lets you place a donate button anywhere on your WordPress site. You can add the subscription donation widget to your sidebar, posts, pages etc.
The recurring donations widget this plugin creates is nice looking and user-friendly.
Your users will be able to select a subscription or recurring donation amount and pay you monthly.
This plugin allows you to accept one time donations also. So if some users prefer to pay a one-off donation, they can click on the “Donate Once” tab and make a one-time donation payment.

Recurring PayPal Donations

Paypal changes something in how they process form submissions about two months ago.  I was working on a similar plugin called Custom Donations.  I was experiencing a problem where Paypal would say that the link was bad.  I was looking to see how this plugin handled that problem and found that it was also broken.

Broken after Paypal Changes

Accept PayPal subscription or recurring donation payment from your WordPress site easily.
