 Is there any way you can form a donation link (paypal) with a specified amount of money if you know the recipient's email address? Basically, so it could be used in a shop, so if they clicked buy now, it would direct them to the paypal website, but with the amount of money they are spending and who it is being sent to. A callback would be really helpful as well so I know whether they went through with the payment, or aborted it.

 Yes, if you have a paypal account, you can set up a donate button with a "donors contribute a fixed amount". When they click the button they will arrive to a screen that has the email address and/or name (you choose) of the paypal account holder.

Here is an example of a button set up for Viral that automatically has it set-up for $1,000:

Of course, the code I used for the button has the email masked, but they have an option to not hide it. You can also create buttons where you assign email addresses strictly.

Go to PayPal and visit this page!

. . . . .

EDIT: I created you a Viral@example.com button

Code:
 

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="viral@example.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Viral Example">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10000.00">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

 Hmm thanks. I'll mess around with that and see if it works with just text and dynamic emails.
