 * I’m using a short code:
 * [paypal-donation purpose=”Fundraiser”]
 * But I would like the end user to have a “Reference” field present when they get
   to the PayPal screen to submit custom data. Is that possible?
 * Thanks for the plugin, our non-profit has been using it for years! 🙂

 * Each submitter would be different, I was hoping it would just be a blank text
   box.
 * The idea being the donation goes towards a user specific pledge.

 * PayPal doesn’t let you modify the checkout page and add a text box there. What
   you can do is request the users to use the “instructions” box to leave that info.
