## Description

HPCMF Reader Support helps journalists, writers, content creators, news sites and
blogs receive financial support from their readers. Supporters can send one-time
payments, or monthly payments if you turn that option on, through the Razorpay payment
platform.

Once you enter your Razorpay API Key and API Secret, HPCMF Reader Support adds a
donation box at the end of every post. On phones it also adds a slim support bar
at the bottom of the screen that opens a quick payment popup. Both are designed 
for desktop and mobile.

**Features**

 * One-time payments and optional monthly payments through Razorpay.
 * Donation box below every post, plus a `[razorpay_donations]` shortcode to place
   it anywhere.
 * Mobile support bar with a popup, plus a `[give_donations]` shortcode for a link
   that opens it.
 * Preset amounts and a custom amount field.
 * Custom support text for desktop and mobile.
 * Your own logos for desktop and mobile.
 * Payment title and description shown in the Razorpay window.
 * Optional automatic popup on mobile after a delay you choose.
 * Limit for how many months a monthly payment runs.

Funds go directly to your own Razorpay account, subject to Razorpay’s terms. You
need a Razorpay account to use this plugin.

**Free installation and setup help** is available from the HPCMF team. Contact info@
hpcmf.org.

### External Services

This plugin connects to Razorpay to accept payments. It cannot work without it.

 * **Razorpay Checkout script** (`https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/checkout.js`)
   is loaded in the visitor’s browser on posts and pages where the donation box 
   or mobile bar is shown. It opens the payment window. When a supporter pays, the
   payment details they enter go to Razorpay, not to your site.
 * **Razorpay API** (`https://api.razorpay.com/v1/`) is called from your server,
   using the API Key and Secret you enter, to create a payment order or monthly 
   subscription when a supporter clicks pay. The data sent is the payment amount,
   the name of the post author and the URL of the post the supporter was reading.
   No personal data about the supporter is sent by this plugin.
