Need a favour, involves making a small paypal donation (which I will refund)

Can someone make a small donation using this form? $1 is probably fine. I will refund it.

For account name, put "root" without the quotes.

It seems Paypal did some changes to IPN and it's not going through anymore when someone tried to donate, and they also did some changes to how the sandbox environment works and it looks quite involved to setup, easier to just test it live... Also not letting me donate to myself.

I don't want a bunch at once so if someone decides to try it just post that you did and I'll mention if I need someone to try again.

Thanks!

I sorta trust you enough to send $1. 🙂

But then how do I actually KNOW its you !?!? 😛 😉
 
Ok so I can actually use someone to test if anyone is brave enough to risk it. 😛 I thought I had it working with a real one but I was still in debug mode on my side so it failed. I think now that I'm in prod mode it should work.

Money stuff is tricky, you kinda have to do testing in prod sometimes. 😛
 
At work, and I apparently don't have my password manager databases properly synced, so I don't know my paypal login. If you still need it, I'll try this afternoon.
 
Donated $1CAD. Don't bother hassling with a refund if it goes through. I'm not worried about 15¢USD :^P
 
Ok thanks that went through! So the code works now. For some reason it registered twice though, first time it does that... but I'll call this a win.

I just remembered I accidentally overwrote the code for this fix and have to do it again some time. I forgot it was treated as part of the site so when I did an update to the site it synced the old code back to prod. Doh. It just so happens it ran before a backup job did. I should probably go fix that now that I think of it, I kinda remember what I did.

Paypal is universal which makes it good. Lot of those other weird ones are American only. I had someone want to use Venmo once and by the time I figured it out it turned out it does not even work in Canada. Paypal just works everywhere and is simple.

Eventually I want to use something like Stripe though, but the transaction fees are kinda high. It's like 50 cents + 3% or something like that.
