If you want to receive donations through your website, you need to be able to process payments. Ideally, the donation “checkout” process should work without the need for you to take direct action. Likewise, WordPress donation plugins add a lot of specific functionality for fundraising. You can have public goals and show visitors how much money you’ve collected, as well as share the names of your top donors (if they consent).

Download2. PayPal Donations
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.

WIDGET
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.
SHORTCODE
Insert the button in your pages or posts with this shortcode
[paypal-donation]
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:
[paypal-donation purpose="Spline Importer" reference="3D Plugins"]
This donation plugin generates valid XHTML Transitional and Strict code.
5. Seamless Donations: A Platform for Global Fundraising
FIVE MINUTES TO YOUR FIRST DONATION
Seamless Donations is so easy to install and configure that your Web site can accept donations via your Stripe or PayPal account within five minutes of downloading the plugin.
Seamless Donations is free and does not charge you a commission or percentage fee.
Other vendors take 2% right off the top of every Stripe transaction unless you purchase an expensive add-on. Seamless Donations does not siphon off money from donations intended for your good causes.
AUTOMATIC RECURRING DONATIONS FOR STRIPE AND PAYPAL
You can instantly give your donors the option to make their donation repeat automatically. You can turn on on the option with a click, which gives your donors a checkbox to make any donation repeat. This feature is free for both Stripe and PayPal.
OTHER FREE PREMIUM FEATURES
Seamless Donations comes with free features other plugin vendors charge hundreds of dollars for. In addition to free recurring donations and the Stripe gateway, Seamless Donations includes:
- Tributes: Designate a donation “in honor of” or “in memory of” and specify both the honoree and person to notify when the honor donation is made.
- Gift Aid: For those of you in the UK, once you specify UK as your country, Gift Aid is automatically enabled.
