Thanks in advance...")* The last time I checked, PayPal's tools required our donors to use a page in PayPal's domain that PayPal designed. What I am looking for is a solution that is totally contained within our website. That was a while back - PayPal may now offer what I want. I didn't check. I think I found one, by the way, using the Joomla Extensions Directory.

Thanks in advance...")* Being able to specify a price for users is something useful for example for gift certificates where the buyers can set the price he wants to pay to give to his friend. Recurring payment can be used in normal shops for subscriptions or payments in several times. Paypal indeed provides those tools but paypal does not integrate with Joomla, it just handles the payment. If you want to do something more complicated than just a payment button, it can make sense to use an e-commerce tool.

You will get many more donations here and there by using it as users preffer to use an e-wallet to throw a few bucks your way than to charge their credit card.

We don't know yet how we can handle it and didn't look at it. HikaShop won't support recurring payments anytime soon. That's not in our short term goals.

I haven't deployed on a production site but I love all the features and the upgradability. Finding myself very happy that I chose to install HikaShop instead of VirtueMart! Keep up the great work!

Then you have to create a custom item field named "amount" (default setting of the plugin, else use the indicated name), and restrict its display for the desired product, for example a previously created "donation" product.
