I’m looking for a PayPal donation plugin for WordPress that allows me to capture specific required donor reporting information in addition to the donation processing function. For instance, for political campaigns we are required to obtain employer and occupation information to match with every donation. To this point I’ve experienced a real challenge with appending this information on PayPal processes. Any ideas?
Hi Andrew, I think PayPal can’t be your conduit for this extra information. Rather the extra information must be collected on your wordpress site and retrieved in reports on the wordpress site. Then you somehow match those reports to paypal reports.
Take a look at this plug-in,

although I have not tried it out. I think it may not allow one to add additional and mandatory fields for data entry.
Hope this helps,
