\"WordPress<\/a>
A Fen-ny Saved Is A Fen-ny Earned<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Say you are an enterprising young developer and have created an awesome new plugin in your spare time. \u00a0 In order to get as many users as possible, you are distributing your plugin on WordPress.org for free. \u00a0Still, you wouldn’t mind making a little bit of cash back. \u00a0Wouldn’t it be nice if some of your users could donate money to cover your expenses in running the plugin?<\/p>\n

Well, if you live in the US, there are\u00a0a number of clever plugins<\/a>\u00a0to help you add a donation box to your site and display the results<\/a>. \u00a0Most of the best options involve Paypal, but\u00a0this plugin<\/a>\u00a0from Stripe is also an excellent, simply, user-friendly, option (if you haven’t used Stripe before, give it a try). \u00a0But\u00a0if you happen to be in the US, that is also not going to be an option.<\/p>\n

But what if you aren’t a huge fan of Paypal, aren’t in the US, and would prefer to be paid in the currency that they use at that store down the street with the amazing ice cream? \u00a0 You know the one. \u00a0Well, here are a few interesting options (if you know of any other good ones, let me know in the comments):<\/p>\n

China<\/h3>\n

For those of you who are based in China, you might be as familiar with Alipay<\/a> and Tenpay<\/a> as you are with Paypal for online payments processing. \u00a0Well, you are fortunate enough to have two<\/strong><\/em> excellent plugins to help you take donations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Alipay Donate<\/a>\u00a0allows you to take donations from Alipay alone.<\/li>\n
  2. While the\u00a0Alipay, Tenpay, Paypal Plugin<\/a>\u00a0allows you to take payments with both Alipay and Tenpay. \u00a0As to how to configure it precisely for donations, you would have to check with the developer (or someone who speaks Chinese).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    India<\/h3>\n

    CCAvenue<\/a>, the Indian payment gateway,\u00a0offers Indian Rupee and US Dollar currency processing for Indian merchants. \u00a0Although they don’t offer a dedicated donation plugin,\u00a0a CCAvenue Payment Gateway<\/a>\u00a0can be integrated with\u00a0WooCommerce<\/a>\u00a0to provide for the ability to take donations in Rupees.<\/p>\n

    Russia<\/h3>\n
    \"Save<\/a>
    “Truble” Getting Paid In The Way You Prefer?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The Russian or European WordPress developer with a heart of gold might be interested in this donations plugin<\/a> from WebMoney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Brazil<\/h3>\n

    For the Portuguese speaker, PagSeguro has helpfully provided a couple of options<\/a> for integrating their popular payment gateway with your site. \u00a0Although they don’t offer a dedicated donations plugin, they do offer several ways to integrate PagSeguro with WordPress eCommerce<\/a> setups, like PagSeguro for WooCommerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    If you are wondering how to configure a Shopping Cart plugin to work as a donation box, the key is just to treat the donations as if they were products you never actually get around to shipping. \u00a0This method is not ideal because it prevents the donor from being able to pick precisely the sum they would like to send, but can be an easy and relatively hassle-free way to do things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
