Tool for Donating on Site AND displaying Cumulative Donations

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by CalGuy, Jul 20, 2006.

    Does something like this exist? I want users to be able to donate on the site. I also want them to be able to see how much has been donated so far (vitally important). My new site idea will require two of these donating tools side by side, each displaying amount donated. I will also need to reset donations to $0 occasionally.

    Sorry if wrong forum (marketing is a pretty broad term ;) )

    You could probably write a php script easily enough to do that. Or even easier just update your site once a day with the new amount. ;)

    Are you using the paypal oante button? If so then a script can easily be written for such a task.

    I'll be using paypal. I want the donate button to say something else. I guess it shouldn't be too hard to just use a linked image instead of the donate button. Now I just need a tool to display cumulative earnings.

    yeah but that is a paid service. I was more after something free.

    I'm open to using Google Checkout as well (if it allows users to submit whatever they want to pay). This doesn't necessarily have to be a donation.

    That script is free at
    www.hotscripts.com www.sourceforge.net or www.planetsourcecode.com

    Not sure which site :rolleyes:

    I downloaded it once from any of those sites but unfortunately deleted by mistake a few days ago
    In fact I deleted all my scripts :eek:

    there is also a mod for Invision with the same thermometer behaviour

    Most likely PSC. If you know PHP, you'll easily be able to script something. It's definitely not hard.

    I would like a donation feature on my site as well. I would there to be several choices for donations such as neteller, firepay, paypal, new google thing, credit cards, etc....

    would it be possible to have the donation meter add up all the donations from each different method and show it like an ordinary meter?

    would this be a task done in php? if so, what would be a ballpark price for such a script?

    thanks.
