When creating a feed in the Wordpress plugin there are only two transaction types available, Products and Services and Subscription. Does the plugin support charity donations? If so, why is it not offered as an option? The application works, but the email field in the form is not accepted or not sent to Paypal or perhaps they toss it. We depend on this for donor relations and have to record the donation info by hand from the website acknowledgement. Paypal said this was because the TX type was “Products and Services” and so the feed doesn’t send the email field.

Seems it is unsupported:

Transaction Type Required. Select the type of transaction the add-on supports: **Products and Services or Subscriptions** (recurring payments).

> **[Configuring a Feed for the PayPal Checkout Add-On](https://docs.gravityforms.com/configuring-a-feed-for-the-paypal-checkout-add-on/)**
>
> The feed configuration determines what type of transaction should occur when the form is submitted, what to use as the payment amount, and which fields contain values that should be passed to PayPal.

Does anyone know what plugin might be used for PP donations to a non-profit?

I’ll try GIveWP, but it would be good to add this feature to the GF plugin. I was just informed that the mailing address is not sent to paypal either and they have been repairing that data by hand also.
