I’m happy to announce the release the most important update to Donation Can to date: Donation Can 1.4 is now live with the following changes:

• Currencies: Donation Can now supports all currencies supported by PayPal. All you need to do is to update the currency in plugin settings and all of your new goals will use that currency. You cannot change the currency of  existing goals (this would mess up the progress calculations) so any existing goals will still be in USD.
• Offline donations: You can now manually input donations received outside the plugin and they will show up in the donation goal’s progress bar.
• Improved PayPal donation notification (IPN) handling: With this complete rewrite of the payment notification handling code all the issues we’ve had where donations were not saved correctly should be history.
• Sandbox mode: Testing the plugin just got easier with the Sandbox mode option. Just tick one checkbox in the plugin settings and the donations use PayPal’s sandbox mode. Donations made in sandbox mode are not shown when sandbox mode is turned off.

Check out the plugin page to download the new version.

Update (just 15 minutes after the release… Ouch): There was a small bug in the 1.4 release that caused the donation progress bars to show up empty. I fixed it right away, so make sure to get version 1.4.1 instead of 1.4 and you’re all set to go!
