Description

Ask your supporters to treat you to a cup of coffee, pint of beer or some other simple treat. It is a more creative way to ask for donations via PayPal. You can test this out live on the demo site.

You can use this as:

  • Template tag get_coffee()/the_coffee()
  • Shortcode [coffee]/[tiny_coffee]
  • Sidebar widget
  • Hash-activated modal screen (domain.com#coffee)

I love little, leightweight Plugins like this. The Setup is really easy and you have everything you need. Install it, edit your text and icons and take the Widget to the place you want. And then the donations can come!

In my first month, I made $12 with this plugin. I know that isn't much but when you are a blogger with virtually no income, $12 means a lot. Thanks for making it and sharing it with us 🙂

This plugin is super cool! Simple, easy to use and very useful... I hope for a buddy press and bbpress compatibility! That will be the top! Good Luck!

Clearly hasn't been updated and just plain doesn't work in any reasonable form. No documentation to figure out how to make the icons or currency display properly, and bugs out when it goes through to paypal.
