We needed a donor component for our non-profit organisations website. I tried a few others but none come close to this one! It is easy to configure and manage. The front end display looks far more professional than the others I looked at. During our first week of using it I had some questions regarding some fine-tuning that we wanted so I emailed the developer and had a reply with hours and a solution with 2 days. Great support!
Great addition to my client's website they love it and so do i, the developer helped me out a lot with a special request!
After waiting weeks for the "promised" new version that included the options I needed, I decided to move on to another plugin. If you read the forums regarding this plugin, you'll see the developer not answering consumers questions, as well as multiple missed deadlines.
Support is definitely lacking. You may get lucky and have the plugin do exactly what you want, or you may get stuck paying $15 for something that you can't get support on. Be sure to read the forums if you're still interested in this plugin.
BTW, after not receiving any support from the developer on this plugin, I decided to move on to the FreePayPal plugin. Take a look at it, associated reviews, and the forums to see the difference in support. Having a plugin that does almost exactly what this plugin does is a help as well.

Hello
We are only late for the new version of the extensions(with recurring donation and other features which we planed) because we have been busy for our projects . Regarding the support, we believe that we are providing best support to our client . We even do personal customization for clients free

Thanks,

I needed a small change to this extension so I emailed the authors to ask if it was possible. Within 5 minutes I had an email requesting clarification of my needs. I supplied the info and when I returned to my site in the morning the change was complete!!!! I've dealt with many developers over the years and by far, this was the fastest resolution to a feature request I have ever had. I would not hesitate to use this extension or this developer again!!!! Many thanks for a great job!!
We had some specific needs (custom address fields, modified country listing) and had tried a couple of donation extensions that just weren't meeting our needs. Joom Donation looked the most promising, so we purchased it. The extension is good, but the service is what is truly ASTOUNDING. Rapid response, personal assistance, and a friendly support team all combine to give this good extension a GREAT rating. I'm impressed!
I looked through all the options and as usual tried the free components first. This one is leagues ahead of the rest.
Support is unlike anything i have ever experienced. I needed some help to tailor this to suit our fundraising needs and i was surprised to receive a personalised service assisting me throughout the whole change process.
I hope this developer looks at doing some more components as i will definitely choose them over any others.

I bought Joom Donation for a client - it was very easy to install and configure.
Then my client called and announced that we had to block people from a couple of states in the US from donating, due to stringent laws around the asking for donations.
I wrote the developers and they offered to make the modification for no charge. They did so within a day. Everybody is happy.
Thank you for and excellent product and your amazing support. I don't think I have dealt with a more helpful developer, and I have dealt with a few. :)
I would gladly pay more for the component and for the modification/support. At US$15 Joom Donation is a steal.
Thank you!

I can't say enough about the 5 star support Joom Donation provides with their product. The Product itself is the best I've come across and does exactly what I want it to do. I had a small issue and the response time was within the day to fix my problem.
I certainly recommend this product and joom services to you

I BOUGHT THIS FILE AND I UPLOADED INTO MY WEBSITE, EVERYTHING WORKS 100%. SUPER EASY TO INSTALL! I THEN WENT TO THE FORUM AND ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT SOME LAYOUT AND CUSTOMIZATION. AFTER 2 MINUTES I RECEIVED A RESPONSE AND THE FIX WAS MADE IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS...WOW THIS BLOWS ME WAY! NOW EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT! I'M SO PROUD TO HAVE THIS MODULE ON MY WEBSITE.
THANKS A LOT TO THE SUPPORT TEAM YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

I bought JoomDonation because of the description on this site. Had all the features one could ask for... I tried many of the free versions also available. But I ran into many issues with very little support for the free versions. After installing, I knew that I had made a good choice... I'm not a programmer and needed a little help with one of the features of the software, so I decided to try their support forum. I expected to wait a few days response, but was I ever so wrong. Just 5mins after posting my issue, my problems were solved.
I am absolutely 100% satisfied as a customer and I would recommend anyone who needs a good donation plugin for joomla. This is definately the #1 product of it's kind available.
Thanks JoomServices,

FIVE STARS! Great extention! Even Greater Support Team!!
One suggestion- as there are two folders, maybe include a installation readme file so the buyer is clear as to what file to install. That being said- their support team over delivered every time- These kind of guys deserve every success!

This comopnent/module will do everything others do and more! This is backed up with INCREDIBLE support from the Developers, I asked on the forum if something was even possible and within minutes the Developer implimented it on my site. It just does not get any better than this.
I needed a donation component that was more than just a module with a PayPal button... I looked for a component and very important also some modules to show donors. Joom Donation has a module that shows top donors, latest donors and donors randomly. This is just what I looked for! My website users will love this :-) Before I had to manually update my website after receiving a donation...
Install went smoothly... But I had quite a few problem after installation. The problems was not caused by Joom Donation, but was due to the joomla template that I use. Also the php version on my server was wrong. The admin at joomservices.com was very competent and help me through with my problems. Very nice support!
Only objection would be that I had to wait a couple of days before hearing from the admin, because he was out of the house...
Great work! I look forward to updates and I will definitely look for other extensions with joomservices.com

We have looked at a number of the Paypal donation modules. Simple does characterize most. If you need a simple donate, or a donate for a fixed price, other products can manage that. We needed to be able to solicit at multiple donation or cost levels, and furthermore did not want to limit ourselves to only soliciting for the cost of the charity dinner we were putting on.
Joomla Donation was the first product we found that gave us this flexibility to have multiple price levels, and the "Go For The Gold" text box to let them name their own donation amount in the front end without having to do some over-ride on the paypal side.
So we started with a good product fit!
Take note that Joomla Donation is CB integrated. Not only does it show payment history on CB profile, (an interesting convenience), but it means your users don't have to re-register which was critical to our user experience. The module will auto-populate the user information into the transaction form form CB!
So the real surprise was that here I am at 11pm in Hawaii, I submitted a pre-sales question and got an instant response, answer not auto-responder. Ran into a couple of snags on install (note that the plugin is a CB plugin not a Joomla plugin) that will save you some questions...
Couldn't find any online documentation, but the company made up for that with instant tech support. Did a goto meeting and was able to troubleshoot a couple of issues and even addressed some formatting issues associated with our template.
I highly recommend this as a new entrant to the space. Expect more raving reviews to come as more people purchase this module!

Joom Donation is a simple straight forward donation extension that has everything you will need to reach your donation goals. Some of the other donation extensions simply give you an image link to the payment site were Joom Donation has CB Integration, Campaign features, donors information and so much more. Another great thing about Joom Donation is that it does NOT require a runtime application to be installed for it to function properly. This extension is well supported and features are being added reguarly. I'd recommend this extension to anyone looking for a donation feature for their site.
Keep up the good work!!!
