Edward,
I figured out the issue.
I am already using a Donations Widget, but displaying on pages that are not ‘store’ pages as well. i.e. search results, 404, blog When this is the case, wpsc_theme_footer() isn’t called therefore the div for fancy_notifications() isn’t ever loaded into the theme. Doing a quick check to see if I was *not* on a store page, then loading wpsc_theme_footer() did the trick.
