Donation button payments come through with a txn_type of web_accept, so you could test that with the Simulator.
Yes, subscriptions are supported. When a new subscription profile is created you would get an IPN with txn_type = subscr_signup. When a payment comes through you would get an IPN with txn_type = subscr_payment.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Wow, they weren’t kidding when they said support for this plugin was awesome! I’ll be leaving you a 5-star review as soon as I’ve had a chance to play around with this a little bit. Thanks!
The review would be great, thanks! Also, I’m curious who “they” is..?? Did a PayPal rep refer you or were you just reading other threads from other users?

Oh, various other support tickets. When I evaluate a newish plugin, I dig through support forums (and code) to get a sense for how good it is. I saw so many comments about how great you are providing support. They did not exaggerate!
I work primarily with animal rescue organizations, and will at some point need to integrate PayPal donations into other systems (newsletter lists, CRMs, etc). This plugin is going to be a lifesaver (literally). Thanks again!
Yeah, IPN is very powerful and can save all sorts of time. It’s one of the most underutilized tools PayPal provides, but also one of the most valuable. I’m glad you’ve got some good ideas for it!
We have a button manager plugin, too, that would allow you to setup donate buttons very easily in WordPress. Make sure you take a look at that if you haven’t already.
Our most popular plugin, of course, is PayPal for WooCommerce, so you can see there that we do have history with a larger user base.
