Fix i need to apply with each verison is to change_donation parm to _xtrct so i can accept payments in Makawi
 

Yes, you can make that change by yourself, the modified file is:
root -> components -> com_jdonation -> payments -> os_paypal.php
Find:
$this->setParameter('cmd', '_donations');
and change to
$this->setParameter('cmd', '_xclick');
 

Hi,
Yes, you can make that change as mentioned, but please note the difference between the two PayPal parameters:
_donations: This parameter tells PayPal that the transaction is a donation. When using _donations, PayPal:
- Does not require the buyer to log in or create a PayPal account (if guest checkout is enabled).
- Will not treat the transaction as a sale of goods or services.
- May show different button labels like "Donate" instead of "Pay Now".

_xclick: This is used for regular payments (buying goods or services). With _xclick, PayPal:
- Treats the transaction as a standard purchase.
- Might require additional tax or shipping information.
- Could trigger different compliance or fee handling on your account, especially if it's not a non-profit account.

So while technically you can switch from _donations to _xclick, keep in mind that PayPal will interpret the transaction differently, which might affect the checkout experience and fees applied to the transaction.

Thanks
Dam
