Donate & Download is a plugin that allows to distribute files through payments. People can decide how much to pay and what payment gateway to use for that (PayPal, Payza/Alertpay, Skrill/Moneybookers, Authorize.Net, InterKassa, EgoPay, Liberty Reserve, Credit/Debit Cards (via Stripe), Bitcoins (via BitPay)), but you always can set minimum limit of their donations or even set fixed amount for each file separately. Once payment completed, the plugin automatically sends temporary encrypted download link to payer’s e-mail address.

Installation

1. Install and activate the plugin like you do with any other plugins. Once activated, it will create a menu “Donate & Download” in left side column in the admin area.

2. Click left side menu “Donate & Download >>> Settings” and do required settings. Set your payment gateways parameters, e-mail address for notifications, e-mail templates for success and failed payments, download link lifetime, etc.

3. Click left side menu “Donate & Download >>> Files” and upload the files that you would like to distribute through donation. In this section you also can set the minimum donation for your files, view all payment transactions, generate and view temporary download links. You also can upload large files through FTP-connection (upload them to folder /wp-content/uploads/donation-downloads/files/) and assign them in this section.

4. Once file uploaded look at column “Shortcode”. This is short code which you can insert into your posts or pages. The short code is like that: [donationdownloads id=”XXX”] (XXX – is an ID of file). You also can extend this short code by adding return_url parameter. For example, if you wish to redirect your customers to “http://www.website.com/thank-you.html” page after successfull payment, just insert the following short code: [donationdownloads id=”XXX” return_url=”http://www.website.com/thank-you.html”].

5. Go to any post/page edit page and insert short code there. This short code is replaced by donation form automatically.

That’s it! Enjoy using the plugin.
