Adding a Paypal Donate
« on: July 21, 2009, 01:49:35 pm »
This is a tutorial on how to add paypal donate button to your site. Firstly you have to have a paypal account and a bank account signed up to it!

Note: This will cost you Nothing!

Ok visit http://www.paypal.com. Once the page has loaded click these listed names.

Business - Products - Website payments standard - Setting up - Donate



Your almost there!

Ok now you will have your button page come up, Heres what to do.

Change the Accept payments for to Donations.
Organisation Name/Service is the name of your site e.g Google.
Donation ID you can Leave blank.
Don't bother with Customise Appearance as we will have to change the look of the button a different way.
Change the Currency to whatever your countries currency is.
Contribution Amount - You can have a fixed rate that people have to pay or you can have it so they enter their own amount. I would recommend not having a fixed price unless they get rewarded in some way for contributing.



Then under the email address bar press the Login button (Don't worry it will save everything you have done so far) and login.

Ignore Step 2 and 3 and click Create button. It will now generate a code. Click Email so a Https code comes up and now minimize the Paypal page and open a new page.

Go to your forum and add a new Board and for the title of it call it Donate and the description to something like "If you would like to donate via paypal in order to help the website then please do it here." (Or anything you want). Now go to the board Donate you have just created and Create a new thread called Donate. In the message box of the thread paste this in

[COLOR="Red]Paste your Code from Paypal.com here[/COLOR]" name=b4">[COLOR="Red]Paste your Paypal Donate button picture here[/COLOR]" border=0">

Paypal Donate buttons

- Link http://i37.tinypic.com/fa4hl2.gif

- Link https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-580-20090720-1/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif

Once you have done the above code and made it how you want and posted your thread it should come up as a button picture with a link to your account to donate to. Now add text to your thread explaining the terms of your newly set up donate button. E.g



Once you have done this Copy the link of the Donation thread's page and go back to your admin centre and to the Donate board and rename the Donate board to this

[COLOR="Red]Enter the URL that you just copied from the donate thread here[/COLOR]" name=b4">[COLOR="Red]Enter one of the button's pictures from the 2 above here[/COLOR]" border="0">

Hope this wasn't too complicated.

Thanks, Nick.

Are there any services similar and comparable to PayPal, or do they have the corner on this sort of market?

I didn't say they didn't. It's just for people who don't know how.

Thanks, Nick.
