Paypal Target Meter

Paypal target meter uses the Paypal NVP API (which means you must have a premium or better account) to display a progress meter of donations towards a monthly or yearly goal. Setup is a breeze, requiring only your Paypal API credentials, and it supports filtering received payments by the email address they were sent to.

You can see a demo of the plugin on the BrainSilo web page at http://brainsilo.org/

1. Upload the paypal-target-meter folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Add the Widget to your sidebar (or where ever else you want) through the ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress
4. Configure your instance of the Widget through the ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress
