We are developing a website for a charity trust in India. For this we need to add a "donate" button to the website for anyone who wants to donate to the charity through a payment gateway.
However, both Paypal and Google Wallet / Google Checkout restrict the use of the "donate" button in India (Google, rather than a donate button, provide a "support" button).
Are either of these payment gateways possible to integrate into a website in India? Or are there any other alternatives?
Indian merchants cannot use Donation buttons through PayPal. If you tried to pass cmd=_donations
in your button code the buyer would get an error.
If you want to allow buyers to enter their own amount during the checkout process you can do that with a Buy Now button. Leave the amount
field blank to allow that.
Update (Dec 1 2015):
CitrusPay does NOT support donations as of Apr 2014
