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.

Store owners can manage their PayWhirl API credentials from an admin settings page, test the connection, and drop the <strong>PayWhirl Widget</strong> block into posts, pages, templates, or patterns without touching code.</p>
