• Cancel return page: If the user cancels at the Paypal Donate page, to which page do you want the user to return? 
• Company Logo URL: This logo will appear on the Paypal Donate page. Pretty cool, huh? 
• Paypal button image: You can leave this as the default. It's the URL to the Paypal Donate image that the user should click on to go to the Paypal Donate form.

• Intro text: Type your intro text here. You can style it with html if desired. 
• E-Mail/PayPal ID: Enter yours.  
• Paypal Description: You can display a custom description in the Paypal Form to the user.

• Show amount field: Do you want to show the amount? 
• Amount: Pre-fill the amount if desired. You can leave it blank if desired.

*Module Class Suffix: You can skip this part. This is an advanced feature that comes with almost all modules in Joomla and is generally not needed for this module. See our Module Class Suffix tutorial for more info.

• Use sticky hover: Do you want OSDonate to stay in the same position even when the page scrolls? This is an awesome feature to get it noticed! 
• Horizontal Reference Side: Do you want it to be closer to the right or left? 
• Horizontal distance: How far in pixels? (*no need to add the px, just use digits) 
• Vertical Reference Side: Do you want it to be closer to the top or bottom? 
• Vertical distance: How far in pixels? (*no need to add the px, just use digits) 
• Font Color: If the default font does not match the template very well, enter the hex value or a valid color name in here.  
• Width: If the default is too narrow you can make it wider.

• Show Powered By: Do you want the "Powered by" link to show under the paypal button? To show our gratitude to our users, we integrated the OSDonate "Powered by" Link with OSTraining.com's affiliate program, in order to attract more customers to our affiliate program. 
• Affiliate ID: Your OSTraining Affiliate ID 
• Use Joomla's weblink instead of appending Affiliate ID: If you use Joomla's weblinks component, then you can enter the relative url here. e.g. If the weblink was http://www.ostraining.com/weblinks/joomla/ostraining, just paste joomla/ostraining. This overrules the ID. For our students, the weblinks tutorial is available in session 36.

Benefits of keeping the "Powered By"

• 40% Commission
• Low key and unobtrusive
• An additional way to make money no matter how many people donate.
