Background
A while back I was looking for a WordPress plugin to use on one of my sites to accept payment for a simple service without the Customers having to log in to my site or become a member and stuff like that. I couldn’t find a simple enough WordPress plugin that does the job so I wrote one myself. One of my friends used it and suggested that I should make this plugin available for others to use. So I tidied up some code and decided to release it.
Plugin Screenshots
The Plugin can be configured to accept payment for a service or a product in one click.
The Plugin can also be configured to accept donation too. See the screenshots for example.

Usage with Shortcode to Create PayPal Payment Widget
This plugin comes with a couple of very powerful shortcodes to create a PayPal payment button. The following section has usage examples so you can see how to use these shortcodes.
You can use the following shortcode to create a PayPal payment button on the fly and show it anywhere on your site:
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="T-Shirt Payment:15.50|Ticket Payment:30.00|Membership Payment:47.95"]
Shortcode Parameters
Optionally, you can add some more parameters in the above mentioned shortcode to customize the currency code, reference title, return page URL, tax etc. Below is a list of the supported parameters in the payment button shortcode
- currency
- options
- return
- reference
- other_amount
- country_code
- payment_subject
- button_image
- button_text
- cancel_url
- new_window
- tax
Here is an example shotcode usage with some extra parameters to give you an idea of how to use it:
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="Payment for Service One:15.50|Payment for Service Two:30.00|Payment for Service Three:47.00" currency="USD" reference ="Your Email Address" return="the-return-url-page"]
Allow Your Users to Specify an Amount
You can use the “other_amount” parameter in the shortcode to allow your customer to specify an account (name your price). Here is an example usage:
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="Payment for Service One:15.50|Payment for Service Two:30.00|Payment for Service Three:47.00" other_amount=true]
This shortcode can be used anywhere on your site and as many times as you want with different values to accept payment for another product or service.
Use a Custom Button Image
You can use the “button_image” parameter in the shortcode to specify a custom button image for the payment button. Here is an example usage:
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="Payment for Service 1:15.50|Payment for Service 2:30.00|Payment for Service 3:47.00" button_image="http://example.com/my-custom-button.jpg"]
Specify a Country Code for Language
Use the “country_code” parameter in the shortcode to specify a country code. Here is an example usage:
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="Payment for Service 1:15.50|Payment for Service 2:30.00|Payment for Service 3:47.00" country_code="US"]
Specify a Cancel URL
Use the “cancel_url” parameter in the shortcode to specify a cancel URL in the widget
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="Payment for Service 1:15.50|Payment for Service 2:30.00|Payment for Service 3:47.00" cancel_url="example.com/cancel-url"]
Open Payment Page in a New Window
Use the “new_window” parameter in the shortcode to open the payment page in a new window. Here is an example shortcode usage with the new_window parameter:
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="Payment for Service 1:15.50|Payment for Service 2:30.00|Payment for Service 3:47.00" new_window="1"]
It will open the paypal payment page in a new window when the user clicks the buy now button.
Collect Tax For the Payment
You can use the “tax” parameter to specify a tax amount for the payment.
Hiding the Reference Field From the Payment Widget
Use the parameter reference=”” in the shortcode will hide/disable that field.
Using a Text Based Payment Button
If you want to use a text based payment button (instead of an image) then use the “button_text” parameter in the shortcode.
Here is an example shortcode that will create a payment button widget with “Pay Now” as the button text:
[wp_paypal_payment_box email="your@paypal-email.com" options="Payment for Service 1:15.50|Payment for Service 2:30.00|Payment for Service 3:47.00" button_text="Pay Now"]

[wp_paypal_payment_box_for_any_amount email="your@paypal-email.com" description="payment for xyz"]
You can use the following shortcode to create a payment widget for any amount with a specified currency.

Additional Documentation
How to collect the Shipping Address from the customer
You don’t really need to collect shipping address from the customers manually as they can specify a shipping address when paying on PayPal. So this is how it works:
- A customer clicks on the Pay Now/Buy Now button and goes to paypal to pay for the product or service.
- The customer fills in the credit card details or logs into his/her paypal account and reviews the order
- Now before hitting the “Pay Now” button the customer can specify a shipping address by clicking on “Change Shipping” that is shown below the default shipping address.
- After payment, PayPal will send you a payment confirmation email which will have this postal address so you can ship the item.
If you need help wth this plugin (such as additional currency support etc) or if you find an issue with the plugin then leave a comment.
