Hi Skouat,

while working with tis extension I found one point...

My Paypal is charging a fee for the donations. Isn't it better to count in the net amount of a donation (donation minus fee) into the overview/bar?
For example, when I get a donation of 50,- Euro there are 1,30 Euro for the paypal fee. Money that is missing at the end.

When the goal is 100,- Euros and I get 2 donation of 50,- Euro there are missing 2,60 Euro, but when I get 100 donations of 1,- Euro there are missing 28,- Euros and that's a lot when it's missing at the end.

OK, in the first moment it meight confuse the donator a littel bit when the raise it smaller then his donation, but this kind of calculation can be explained at the "thanks for donation site".

regards
Michael

This is already done.
On this line you can see the following parts: This code calculates the net amount of the donation.

If you enable IPN notification and the member agrees to receive the notification email, then this information is provided in the email sent.
But you can also add a comment on the Main Donation Page that informs members about fees.

Hi Skouat,

ahh OK, so I didn't recognised it, because my sandbox-transaction wasn't counted in into the bar (see my other post) and I got no real donation untill I activated the extension.
