I needed a quick easy plugin for a site that I was developing, and started using FreePayPal Donations. After a few weeks, I wanted something with more features so I looked into purchasing one of the commercial (read: costs money) plugins listed near the top of the donations plugin list here.

However, after contacting the developer numerous times without any support, I decided it was time I try to contact Drew for a bit of help regarding FreePayPal Donations.

Drew was VERY quick to respond and even coded some quick changes to suit our needs within the first 24 hours. Subsequent emails with him have always been answered quickly and courteously.

The plugin itself has always functioned as expected. Setup was quick and easy and there are plenty of configuration options available. Having the ability to place individual modules throughout the site is great, and being able to keep track of all donations through the administration panel is wonderful.

In short, I would definitely recommend this plugin for anyone who's looking for a quick, easy, and extremely configurable way of dealing with PayPal donations.

After testing most of the Paypal donation templates, settled on FreePayPal because the ability to designate payment frequency moved it away from the pack.

Would like to see the ability to choose "donation" or "subscription," as well as more context regarding IPN.

Great module.

The author responded quickly to my e-mail when I had a question about timed donations.

This extension takes the "simple" PayPal extensions one step further without adding complication and deserves to be much higher in the "donations" ranking - i.e. on the first page, not the last.

Fill in a couple of blanks, check desired functions, and your'e done!
