description

This plugin adds an easy way to insert Paypal buttons for simple or variable items. Using a shortcode, the user can choose the price, email address, name, item number, and variations and generate a Paypal button for instant payment.

SIMPLE BUTTON

Code: [paypalbutton item_price="" item_number="" item_name="" paypal_account="" button_text=""]

  • item_price = Price of item in 2-decimal format (5.99)
  • item_number = Unique catalog ID or number (CAT001)
  • item_name = Unique name of item for Paypal cart listing
  • paypal_account = Email account to receive Paypal funds
  • button_text = Text to appear on button (if nothing entered, it defaults to PURCHASE : $__ with the item price you entered)

VARIABLE BUTTON

Code: [paypalbutton_variations paypalaccount="" item_name="" item_number="" variation_name="" variation_01_choice="" variation_01_price="" variation_02_choice="" variation_02_price="" variation_03_choice="" variation_03_price=""]

  • paypal_account = Email account to receive Paypal funds
  • item_name = Unique name of item for Paypal cart listing
  • item_number = Unique catalog ID or number (CAT001)
  • variation_name = Name or description of options (Size, color, etc)
  • variation_01_choice = Name of item option #1 (Small, Black, etc)
  • variation_01_price = Price of item option #1 in 2-decimal format (5.99)
  • variation_02_choice = Name of item option #2 (Medium, Brown, etc)
  • variation_02_price = Price of item option #2 in 2-decimal format (5.99)
  • variation_03_choice = Name of item option #3 (Large, Blue, etc)
  • variation_03_price = Price of item option #3 in 2-decimal format (5.99)

The text which appears on variation buttons is PURCHASE

Note: Currently only allows 3 variations. Contact for more.

arbitrary section

You may provide arbitrary sections, in the same format as the ones above. This may be of use for extremely complicated plugins where more information needs to be conveyed that doesn't fit into the categories of "description" or "installation." Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.

Here's a link to WordPress and one to Markdown's Syntax Documentation. Titles are optional, naturally.

        "Markdown is what the parser uses to process much of the readme file"

Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I've been told:

Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.

<?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
