Why is a Donation Plugin using PayPal Commerce?

  • My first impressions of this new version were very negative. I gave this plugin a 1 star on account of that. But having used it 6 months, in all honestly I have to give it a 5 star since it works flawlessly with PayPal.

    PayPal is moving away from plaintext API keys and they are now requiring applications to use the secure PayPal Commerce login. All developers are being required to switch to PayPal Commerce in order to remain PayPal Certified.

    Can you please share more information about how this will impact you as a non-profit? There is no change to the checkout experience for your customers, nor is there a change to your payment processing rate from PayPal.

    The change to our plugin is simply moving from plaintext API keys, to a secure, authenticated PayPal login. That’s all that is changing – and PayPal is requiring this change for all third party applications.

    Hi @fraughtithrouble,

    PayPal Standard is going away. For any plugin that wants to have a PayPal integration, it has to use PayPal Commerce, there is no other options.

    You’re review is unfair and 6 months of hard work went into developing this version of the plugin. Please consider changing your review.

    You could easily change the name of this plugin to Accept Payments rather than Accept Donations. The problem is entirely your own. Also, the Stripe interface is impossible. It wants a 25% owner to fill out the form. Some companies have no one with such an ownership level. Then it wants photos of ID without fingers being show. Then it claims it cannot use the webcam on major computer company’s hard ware and using major and commonly used browser interfaces. Stripe’s responsibility, but adding them to your donation plugin just makes it worse. And that is your problem.
