Altering Paypal Donation Credit Card Details Form

    We are in Canada and have set up Paypal Buttons that when used show the Credit Card form default is Canada (not to be confused with Canadian Funds).

    We installed the Paypal Donation plugin, set the default to Cdn funds, linked it to our Canadian account, but when a person executes the donation button and selects pay with credit card, the currency is Cdn funds, but the default for the location of the Payment is United States. (On our Paypal hosted button, this default is Canada). Is there a way to change this default in the plugin button Form?

    Hi @ospreylinks,

    There is not a way to change this value in the plugin settings. I believe that value is set off of the language code.

    There is a way to do it you don’t mind modifying the code a little, you can go into wp-content/plugins/easy-paypal-donation/includes/public_shortcodes.php and around line number 445, add a new for this:

    $output .= “<input type=’hidden’ name=’country’ value=’CA’>”;

    You will need to do that for each plugin update, as the changes will most likely get overwritten.

    Thanks,
    Scott – I am a Canadian also!

    Thanks for getting back Scott, really appreciate the note. I would leave it as is, but the plug-in is actually for a fundraising site I do for my Rotary Club, and I don’t know if you’ve sandboxed it or not, but changing the location from the “United State” which appears near the end of the drop down list to “Canada” which obviously appears near the top is not easy (there are a lot of countries in the list between Canada and United States).

    I may try your code altering suggestion above, or I may just add my own html to use the existing donation button I have in Paypal and not your plugin (but I really prefer your plug-in for simplicity and would like to add the short-code in a few spots and looking at the your premium plug-in, the ability to offer recurring donations is an appealing option).

    Or here’s an idea, write another plug-in explicitly for us Canadian users. Just kidding, but really thanks for taking the time to reply.

    PS and when the site is complete, it will be rotary4kids.ca (if you look now you will see a dreadful old html site).

    Scott, I just added the line as per your instructions and it worked perfectly! I will keep a look out for updates and when they arrive, add the line again.

    Would it be considered for future updates to make this a feature in set up?

    Hi @ospreylinks,

    Glad it is working for you.

    I am pretty busy right now, but I can look into adding this feature in the future.

    Thanks,
    Scott
