Two related problems. I set up a button that was intended to take one-time donations, and it's taking recurring payments. I didn't want this functionality and I can't see any switch to turn it off--worse, I don't think my donors know it happened, so I'm scamming them.
Is there 1) any way to disable this function in the "donate" button, and 2) any way to turn off a recurring gift as the vendor/merchant?

If you used the online button generator to create your Donate button code - suggest that you delete that button and start over.
