I found this extension very easy to use and install. I did have a problem with layout on the site. However, a few emails and support and all is looking just like I wanted it. I have used a few extensions but you don't always get help. I am extremely happy with my purchase.
This was my first Joomla website!
It has over 20 items on sale.
We used the contribution button, the downloads button, and the nice paypal button.
Half of the 20 items are in Spanish.
What I am getting at is, I received all the support I needed to get all these things done, despite my ineptness with Joomla and PayPal and Tritronic. My deepest gratitude! Thank you for helping us put out a first class catalog website!

I have done only about 10 sites so far. One had to have online sales for online reading and it was difficult to set up but I got there.
Then, I had to have a way, for the current site, to show pictures in a great way and also to buy the itmes shown in those pictures, too. I have NO idea how to set up something so complex as VM is and a lot of the free and commercial stuff WAS complex. Finally, I found this extension and not only did it supply a HOW TO video tutorial which explained it easily, it WORKED!! best of all, I am using RSMEDIA GALLERY for the pictures and by editing the details of the picture within that extension and adding the tag for this one, you can have the gallery AND the buying all in one spot!! Simply BRILLIANT WORK this extension!

I want my non-tecky site editors to add PayPal buttons without them logging into the PayPal account. This works great. Well done Dev, happy to pay £9.81 for it.
I don't mind paying a few or even a lot of bucks if the extension will help me on a specific task. This was exactly the case for me with this extension.
It installs easily, and there was great set-up documentation at the developer site to make sure it would configure properly to my PayPal account.
I do wish there was a way to reset the download counter on the back-end without deleting the download, and reloading it. Maybe something for the wish-list??
Thanks!

Thanks for the "awesome" review. It means a lot to me. I am happy to read that you are enjoying the Nice PayPal Downloads extension.
I just wanted to pop in and let you know that you can reset the download counter by clicking into the download item details. At the bottom of the details form you will see a field labeled "hits." Simply set the value to 0 (zero) and click save. The download counter will be reset.
If you need more assistance, visit our support forum. I'd be happy to help you further.
I have tried several other PayPal solutions and this one is by far the most complete and straight forward to use.
You can get the one Joomla! element for a reasonable price but I would highly recommend the bundle. It is fairly inexpensive for all that you get. It provides 12 months of updates and the license is great.

I was able to download and try several variations of this within 30 minutes and no real issues. The one hiccup I had was my fault when I tried to use an exisiting Hosted Button. When I copied the number I copied other junk without realizing it. Read an article on it and cleaned up the extra HTML. (You just need your button ID#) Very quick, easy and flexible.
We bought the Nice PayPal Button Plugin and it was very easy to install and use. But we realised, that we needed an additional feature to handle different languages on the paypal payment window. We sent a mail to the support and just a few hours later, we received a modified version which included exactly the feature we where looking for. This is really a great Plugin!
Great product and great tech support! Highly recommend.
I tried several hours with another extension to sell downloads on a website. I bought this extension and had everything done in less than 2 hours.
You can make tests with paypal sandbox and it logs the ipn activity! So you can use your component as an administrator to see how many payments you have received.

Hi biguphosting,
Thank you so much for the encouraging review. I really appreciate it.
Based on your description though, I believe you meant to leave this review for the Nice PayPal Downloads extension and not the Nice PayPal Button plugin. As the Nice PayPal Downloads works with IPN and the Nice PayPal Button does not.
In any event, I simply wanted to say thank you and to clarify for the sake of other readers.
~ All the best
i have used this product on many websites. when one of the websites that i was using the program did not work the customer support was outstanding.
they spent many hours (for free) checking the back-end system via a login and ftp.
what he was able to find i would have never been able to be do.
it turns out that the problem was with my joomla but they did not dismiss me at all and was very professional and explained every step of the way with me. i would recommend the program to everyone, just the customer support alone is worth it.

I was a little bit worried about buying a plugin like this as I've had a few before and they have been coded badly. Not this time.... It worked first time and I was very very happy. I'm a developer for many sites and this will make life so much easier. You guys are superstars! Thank you.
First of all I am a frontend designer. I was looking for a solution that would be extremely easy to use and not require ANY backend knowledge. This product was a perfect solution. And whenever I encountered a situation I wasn't sure of, I got an answer right away and tons of help. If you need a button like this... BUY this one. It works, it is easy and the support is tremendous. I can't say enough nice things about this product.
I purchased this Nice paypal button plugin after doing some research and simply love it! It's a small, easy to use plugin and I could, in a matter of minutes, add the paypal functionality to my site.
I needed a couple of additional functionalities not offerred by the button directly and I emailed the developer. He clearly understood my problem and he suggested a workaround to build my functionality using this plugin. And like others have said, he was amazingly fast in responding (despite the holiday time). Great customer service and willingness to help.
If at all I have to point out any opportunity, they can make it a little easier to set the parameters. The parameters are separated simply by a pipe symbol "|" and when you have to set a lot of parameters (like in my case I had 3 text boxes and 1 drop down), it becomes easy to loose track of the "|"s. But that's a minor one.
I give it a 5/5.

I needed an extension to do something very simple - accept paypal payments when a user enters their name, invoice number and amount they want to pay.
First I wanted to use an extension on here that I knew offered that feature - but I didn't like the look of the website or the very restrictive licensing conditions. No trust = no buy where I am concerned.
Secondly I bought a cheap extension that I thought would do the trick. It didn't work....
Next I went with nice paypal - I was up and runningin minutes and had a perfectly servicable solution. I wanted extra functionaluty so I commented on a post in the form also requesting this functionality. I was personally e-mailed by the developer within 24 hours with the new extension that had my required functionality.....what more can anyone want!
Good stuff from a very good developer... :)

I am very happy with this extension purchase. There was an additional functionality that I needed. I contacted the support team and asked about any plans to add the extra functionality. To my big surprise I received in less than 12 hours a customized version that included my extra functionality piece. I love this kind of support. To be honest, I didn't really expected to receive such a great treat. This is more than support what they offer. I actually asked for a new feature and it was delivered at no extra cost in a few hours. I needed something more than predefined prices for my PayPal button so my clients could pay their bills entering their own amount. I'm 200% recommending this extension to anyone.
What more can be said about the plugin that hasn’t been already said… this plugin is truly time saving and easy to use. I have no problems recommending this product to anyone.
The service and support provided by Michael is OUTSTANDING. The service he provided went beyond what I would expect to receive from anyone. I had problems using the plugin with K2 items but Michael was able to help me fix this problem and explain to me what was happening and what he was doing to fix. The plugin works great with K2 items….
