Recurring Donation

Pre-Sales:  If I am using PayPal as the gateway, do I need to gget a license for both JoomDonation and the PayPal Pro plugin?   Also, does the PayPal Pro plugin handle recurring donations?  I noticed on the product page the recurring list includes daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.  What about Quarterly or Semi-Annually?  Can those options be added for JoomDonation via PayPal?

I am using Joomla 6 - is this native, or does it require Joomla 5 backward compatibility?

Thanks!

Hi, 
Thanks for your questions — the key point is to distinguish between standard PayPal and PayPal Pro, as they are different gateways.PayPal (standard redirect) vs PayPal Pro

• Standard PayPal gateway (redirect to PayPal to complete payment): this gateway is already included in the Joom Donation package, so you don’t need to purchase anything extra for that.
• PayPal Pro: this is PayPal’s gateway that allows donors to enter credit card details directly on the donation form (no redirect). However, PayPal Pro is typically available only for merchants in the US, UK, and Canada.

Recurring donations + Quarterly / Semi-AnnuallyBoth standard PayPal and PayPal Pro gateways support recurring donations, and the recurring frequency can also include additional options such as Quarterly and Semi-Annually.
SummaryTo keep it simple: in most cases, you only need to purchase Joom Donation. You would only need PayPal Pro additionally if you specifically require the gateway that displays credit card fields directly on the donation form.
Best regards,
