Gumbosoft’s PayPal Donations allows you to easily collect donations on your website. Besides just collecting donations, it also includes powerful features similar to our PayPal Buy Now module. It is easy to use and setup and is highly customizable in both the display as well as an extensible/customizable IPN (Instant Payment Notification) for those that are technically inclined. You can literally be up and collecting donations in minutes.
