Very simple donation feature?

[sandnes]

Since it's apparently impossible for a user to purchase an upgrade until their current upgrade expires, I need a way to encourage additional donations on my forum. But every "Donate" add-on I've found implements campaigns and progress bars and so on, which I really don't want (and it's unclear whether or not they can be disabled). All I want is a way to accept a user-defined-amount donation and have it go through the PayPal account already set up in Xenforo for user upgrades.

Can anyone offer advice, suggestions, modifications, or existing add-ons?

@Xon's Expiring User Upgrades add-on adds "Extend" button for active upgrades which can allow users to basically re-pay the amount of the upgrade and extend the duration or you could use @DragonByte Tech Donate add-on.

I shamefully admit I looked at that one but I didn't read the description far enough. It sounds like it may fit the bill. (Don't let this stop anyone else from posting other replies, though!)
Thanks.

I just use a standard PayPal donation button.

Add it to the footer, a page, a notice, ad position or within a post via bbcode

It seems the donation button is only available to US residents.

I'm not a US resident. AFAIK, a donation button is availabe to any paypal account. Maybe it needs to be a business account but that would seem a bit odd.

Unfortunately some countries don't have that option, not sure when it's removed, maybe a couple of years ago.
