A friend came to me about a donation service on his website. We want to go as cheap as possible, and when I suggested paypal he said he wants to go an "independent" route --I think this means he doesn't want a gateway service, but I don't think that is possible without collecting the data and going old school with paper (please correct m...
I'm currently planning to integrate a donation system into a web page for a project that I manage. Currently, there are two services I'm looking at using - PayPal and Amazon Honor System. I want the system to be as easy-to-use - basically, if people choose to donate, I'd like them to have to do so in as few steps as possible and in a ma...
I use several open source tools in my day to day development - and they save me a lot of money. In the absense of donating any time to these projects I decided to donate some cash to a project once per year. If you were going to donate $100 which project would get your vote? ...
A good friend of mine had a stroke yesterday. It would be a terrible situation even if he weren't a freelancer with no health insurance: he's now looking at the near-certainty of bankruptcy and the strong probability of homelessness in addition to being disabled. Two years ago, another friend of mine, who'd been battling breast cancer...
I have been working on an application that relies heavily on work that people have contributed to the open source community. Specifically I created a neat application that I think will help me retain customers and continue to get new customers and might even allow me a little pricing power. The application was developed in Python and r...
An example of what I'm talking about is on some political candidate websites, like BJ Lawson or Ron Paul's old site. When you donate, it shows your name in Flash as a recent donor. It might also show a "goal" and how far along you are. Just curious if you can give me ideas on how to accomplish something similar, starting with how to a...
I'm wondering if the shareware concept is dead nowadays. Like most developers, I've built up quite a collection of self-made tools and code libraries that help me to be productive. Some examples to give you an idea of the type of thing I'm talking about: A self-learning program that renames and orders all my mp3 files and adds inform...
Does anyone know of any active open source projects working on political campaign management software? I looked on sourceforge but didn't see anything relevant from the queries "political", "politics", "donations", "campaign", or in the categories "accounting", "politics" or "voting". I'm involved with a political campaign that is curr...
I'm trying to get it so, every time someone donates a set amount on a page, another equal portion of an image is revealed. I've got most of the other logic down (PayPal provides nice unique "you've donated" identifiers and such), however, I'm having trouble with revealing the image bit by bit. I tried breaking up the image into small c...
Hello, I am looking for a way to display a button on my site for donations. If a user clicks it, they would be taken to a paypal page with all the necessary information on the donor's end already filled in. What is the best way to implement this in a PHP/Drupal environment? I already have a paypal account set up. Thanks. ...
I'm a developer on the Synergy+ project, and today we received our first donation! Now, I did write at one point that we would spend the money on advertising, in order to find new developers - but I'm not really sure how to go about this, or if it's the best way to spend the donations. We would spend it on hosting, only we use only canne...
I have been requested by someone starting a non-profit organization to build their website. They basically want to have users be able sign up, create profiles, send messages, etc. and then have charities be able to do the same, but with different functionality (write blogs, post videos, etc). The users would look over each charity's ...
Is it possible to get an instant response from a paypal transaction and do they have to leave your site to pay by paypal? I am working on a site where the user needs to make a one off payment so I have been looking for donation scripts, but most of them are pay for and the only one I found does not give an instant response http://www.ib...
I have produced some open source software, released under the GPL, and intend to give users the opportunity to send me donations if they wish. It has occurred to me that since the open source license allows anyone to amend the software, someone could change the 'donate here' message displayed by the app to point to their own website/PayP...
There used to be a site called Tipjoy that would let me put a small "donate" button on a webpage, and users could donate small amounts (like 25c) to me easily. I think it was a pretty neat idea, since I want to have a way for people to give me money, and I don't like advertisements, and I don't update regularly enough to sell subscripti...
