Allow Visitors to Donate Directly From Your Website

Did you know that you can allow your website visitors to donate money to you for free? That's right, at WebStarts.com, you can build a free website and then add a Paypal donate button to your website. Paypal offers many different merchant services for selling products but donation is not commonly promoted. This is great for anybody promoting a non profit organization, free service, or a cause. All you will need is a free website from WebStarts and a free paypal account. To get your donate button on your website, use the following instructions_

Step 1_ Log into your Paypal account at paypal.com. You can get a free account if you do not already have one.

Step 2_ Click on the "Merchant Services" tab in your account and scroll down to click the "Donate Button" link.

Step 3_ Enter your organization name and customize your button with the options provided. Click the "Create Button" at the bottom of the page.

Step 4_ The next page shows HTML code. Highlight all of the code and right click to copy the code.

Step 5_ In your WebStarts Page editor, navigate to the page you wish for the button to appear and click "Insert" then "HTML Code".

Step 6_ Place your cursor in the box and right click to paste the code. Click "Ok".

Step 7_ The button will appear on your page and you can drag and drop it anywhere on your page. Save your changes.
