Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a PayPal Business account to use this module?
No. You can use a PayPal Personal account (email) or a Business account (Merchant ID). A Business account offers more donation customization options.
Can I set a fixed donation amount?
Yes. Set a fixed amount in the module settings, or allow visitors to enter their own amount.
Which currencies are supported?
All currencies supported by PayPal (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, and more). Choose your default currency in the module settings.
Can I customize the button style?
Yes. Use the default PayPal button style, or a custom label/text with your own CSS.
Is the payment secure?
Yes. Donations are processed by PayPal’s secure gateway. The module only renders the button and never handles payment data directly.
Can I show multiple donation buttons on the same site?
Yes. Create multiple module instances with different PayPal accounts, currencies, or amounts.
Does it work with Joomla 5?
Yes. It’s fully tested and 100% compatible with Joomla 5.
