How to Create a Donation link on PayPal

PayPal is an online payment system that allows individuals and businesses to make transactions, such as sending or receiving money, making online purchases, and managing funds securely over the internet. It acts as a digital wallet, linking to your bank account or credit/debit card to process payments quickly and efficiently. 

Creating a donation link through PayPal is a simple process. Here's how you can do it:

Option 1: Using PayPal's "Donate" Button

1. Log in to PayPal:

   • Go to PayPal and log in to your account.

2. Go to PayPal Buttons:

   • Once logged in, navigate to the "Tools" section (it may be called "PayPal Buttons" or "All Tools").
   • Select "PayPal Buttons" or "Create New Button".

3. Create a Donate Button:

   • In the button creation page, select "Donate" as the button type.
   • Customize the button by adding:
     • Your donation amount (or leave it open for donors to choose the amount).
     • A description of the donation (e.g., "Support our cause").
   • You can also add any specific options, such as recurring donations.

4. Generate the Button Code:

• After customization, PayPal will generate a HTML code for embedding the button on your website.
• Copy the link from the code under the "Shareable Link" section if you just want a donation link (without embedding).

Option 2: PayPal.Me Link

If you don't want to create a button, you can use a PayPal.Me link:

1. Create a PayPal.Me Link:

   • Go to PayPal.Me and sign in.
   • Set up your custom link (e.g., paypal.me/YourName).
   • Share this link directly with your donors.

2. Add Donation Amount:

   • You can directly specify the donation amount in the URL. For example, paypal.me/YourName/50 will request a $50 donation.

Now, you can share the generated link on your website, social media, or any other platform.
