Here’s how to add the PayPal button they provide on their site:
- Log in to your PayPal account
- Head to your Profile tab
- Click “My Selling Tools” from the drop down menu
- Find PayPal buttons listed under Selling Online and click “Get Started”
- Select “Donations” from the dropdown menu
- By default, you will be directed to the page with HTML code for a Website, copy this code and add it to a text box on your main page (or wherever you want the button to appear)
That should do it, but if you find that the <form> code gets stripped, you’ll need to follow these additional steps:
- Instead of copying the Website code, click over into the Email tab and copy the link (it begins with: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cm…). This unique link redirects members to the same form that the HTML button does. You can use it to hyperlink an image of a PayPal button to create the same aesthetic and user experience as the <form> code would.
- Head back to your network and insert an image of a PayPal “Donate” button wherever you want it to appear (you can find various versions of the button on PayPal.com and around the web)
- Hover over the image and click “Edit” then insert the link from PayPal into the Link field and click “OK”
- Test it out!
