Our client, a large and active professional organization was having a fundraiser. They needed a way to accept online payments right away.
We contacted this group and they could not have been more helpful. We are somewhat new to Joomla but they had us up and running within an hour.
This extension runs like a charm and is easily customizable. We will be using it for much more than donations, like billing clients and taking membership dues.

The extension looks like it has some decent functionality, but as soon as I installed it, it broke my template (guessing unclosed div somewhere). I submitted a support request and two weeks later have not received a reply. Not supporting commercial extensions is a big disappointment. Look at their forums and see how many have gone un-replied before purchasing. You'll notice some posters having conversations with themselves (like me).
Owner's reply
We did drop the ball on this user's request. Very atypical of our support system as you can see from our forum and other reviews below. I was out sick and it didn't get covered. We offered a fix & a refund. A phone call or an email could have also solved this. The user's forum post was not answered.
I fully echo the stellar reviews of others who have positively reviewed this component. The support is among the best of any Joomla component I've ever used. Customized features were addressed quickly and professionally, and in a completely satisfactory manner. As for the component itself, it's extremely flexible, reliable, and very elegantly coded. Quite simply, this is very likely the best out-of-the-box donation component available.
We chose this component initially because, in addition to a full range of features, it seems to be the only one that supports donations to multiple payment gateways, using different forms, on the same site.
We also had some specific requirements that required customization of the component. I was able to reach the Mike, the developer, by phone and he agreed to make these customizations and incorporate them into the component. Also, he has been available, extremely helpful and supportive in helping us test and troubleshoot issues with payment gateways, etc.
I would highly recommend this component both for its functionality, ease of deployment and use, but mostly for the excellent support provided by Mike.

The component installs easily, is super-customizable, and is very intuitive to use. But even more important is the customer support... I had an issue with donation acknowledgment emails and was able to correspond with the developer who quickly addressed the problem. It became apparent that the problem wasn't with the component at all - it was a server setting, yet he plugged away and resolved it for me!
If you're shopping for a flexible donations component that works great and with stellar support, look no further.

I have a number of non-profit clients, and I'm always on a lookout for new donation components that are simple to install and configure. For foreseeable future, I will not be looking any further.
- The component is easy to install
- Offers a much needed ability to create different donation forms from the same component on the same site
- Offers a great ability to create a site account with donation and you can configure it per form
- And finally the support - I had some questions about the component before I bought it, so I called them, like on the phone, and like spoke to a real person (!!) They answers my questions, and since I had a new feature request, they've actually promised to include the feature in the next release, which was later that night. They did include it! How great is that?
