If you haven't yet purchased the Donation Manager you can do so by going to account upgrades.

This is the first release of the MercenaryDesign Donation Manager. It is in early stages and hardcodes a few things that will be more dynamic in future releases, like goals. Currently it will only work with PayPal however it is easy to expand and will be expanded with other payment methods.

Features

• ability to set a minumum donation amount
• ability to set a goal with title and description. Progress is shown graphically. Goals are monthly, this is something that will be extended to allow more options, see below
• ability to manually add donors as well as edit any donations already received/created
• donors can be anonymous when donating, also can leave notes if they want
• each donor has all their contributions logged with 2 totals, one for public donations and one for anonymous, that way top donors can be anonymous donors
• 3 different sidebars: goal/donate, top donors and top donations
• donation list and a donor list
• donating is powered via ajax so a page load isn't needed until going to paypal itself
• paypal integration supports refunds, if refunded the donation will be removed and goal reduced like expected
• a monthly goal log under tools -> logs showing what was raised each month and how much was needed
• criteria integration. Under user criteria you will see new options: user has donated within the last X days, user has donated more than X days ago, user has donated at least X dollars, user has donated no more than X dollars
• permission to view anything donation related
• permission to donate

What is planned for Beta 3

• big re-factoring job
• ACP section under applications with a splash page
• new goal system allowing multiple goals, milestones and custom times
• possibly XenPorta widgets if I can get past the terrible sytem/code

Getting Started
