Donations do not show as complete unless an admin or mod confirms them manually.

This information only shows in PayPal, so unless someone has access to the user's PayPal account they would not know.

The only thing that shows in vBulletin is the username and amount. You can hide the amount so it does not show to users. You can also just not confirm the donation and nothing about the donation will show to users.

I think maybe I explained it wrong. I do not want the mod telling paypal that the donation is from my website. For example, right now the mod tells paypal it received X amount of money from user X from this website. I do not want that info sent to paypal.

For example I receive the email from paypal saying "Donation to Support xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (User: xxxxxxxxxxxx)"

I do not want that info sent to paypal

Is their a way to comment out that part of the mod or would I need to seek another paypal mod?

You're not correct. Do you think I just made it up?

I would say that would be from PayPal not this mod that shows that. From what I remember there is a way to remove or change that in PayPal

This is how my mod has worked from day 1 - others may have a different experience. For me - donations are recorded originally as an "unconfirmed" donation. This "unconfirmed" donation is only visible to the admin. Not until the donation is manually "confirmed" by the admin will it show to any user in the Donations List.

Hello, my company's email for paypal is German. for example domain.de
But when users want to make a donation from this page in Spanish .. directs them in paypal in German language.

Is there any way to manually insert the language in the configuration, for display in the language selected in the page of paypal.com?

for example: <input type='hidden' name='LC' value='ES'>

thanks
