   I have the option to donate on the website using the elementor button. There is a button directly for paypal. At the same time, I also have WP Forms in the full version. Is it ok if I do Paypal using WP Forms? The button in Elementor is basically just a classic button with a url that leads to the possibility of paying by Paypal directly to my account.

     Yes, you are not required to use a specific method and if you wanted to you could even use multiple methods for different sections if you wanted.

     Apologies if it is not working for you, you may want to reach out to the plugin’s support with whatever error you are running into for them to take a look at it. We will also take a look at our article

   My blog is on WordPress.com so I attempted to follow your instructions to manually add a PayPal button. Your instructions state:

   “Start by logging in to your PayPal account, and click on the Tools menu item”

   I cannot find the Tools menu item on PayPal. Please can you advise.

   Thanks for all this info. I am not clear if I need a paid version of wordpress.org if I want to add a donations button. I probably won’t be selling anything, just hope for a few donations. Thanks for your help

     Hi Vanessa,

     Please see our comparison of WordPress.org vs WordPress.com. WordPress.org itself is free but you will need to pay for hosting and domain name. Please see our guide on how to start a website for step by step instructions.

       I have set up a wordpress.org blog by following your very clear instructions….thank you very much!! I have gone to widgets to install a paypal donations button but there does not seem to be one there to choose. Have I made a mistake?? I chose the cheapest bluehost option. Have I done something wrong?

       Also, just so you know…..when I got nearly to the end of the bluehost procedure, having followed your link to get there, intending that you got the commission for my purchase, there was another pop-up offer, which offered even more discount. I clicked on this, so I hope you have not lost the commission. If so, it is a bit of a dirty trick, which may have robbed you of your commission. I hope not. Thanks for your great advice.

   I like the idea of the video, but my version of wordpress doesn’t let me install plugins, and so that won’t work. When I tried with the email link, I got the message that ‘payment did not go through’. So I couldn’t put the button or a link on the page. Thanks

   I can create the button image, but nothing happens when I click. I’m suspecting it wasn’t made clickable?

   • Haitham Alnaqeb

     Did you use a plugin to create the click button? or did you copy it from PayPal itself? what is the source of the code did you use?

   Hello please engineer Sayed,

   Please help me and recommend one to me.
   Thanks.

     You may want to try Google Checkout. They are supporting Nigeria.

    I pasted the code from Paypal into my WordPress page, post and project page and in each instance it appears when I switch back to Visual, but then when I publish the code gets stripped out and nothing appears on the actual page. When I go back to the editor the code has been erased or truncated. Is there something I can do to make it “stick”?

    I see that this happened to others in the comment string, but I didn’t see a solution mentioned.

    Responder

      Basically you just need the link from the PayPal under the Email section. This is a plain URL and the code just adds the link to a donate button image. You can download the donate button image from PayPal website and upload it in post editor. Right click on it and link it to your PayPal email URL.

      Having WP mess with the code after pasting has been a problem for me also. I finally found an acceptable way that so far seems to work.

      I found putting the PayPal code in a table is working for me. I can go back and forth from visual to text and the code stays the same. I put in table tags, then for my case I put in two rows with one column (td tag) in each. In the first row I’ve put some text for the what the button payment is for and then I put the PayPal code in the 2nd row.

      The only thing I notice is a light border shows up around the table. Putting the border = 0 in the table doesn’t remove it. I think the border is getting introduced elsewhere (I”m using Elegant Themes DIVI). I don’t mind the thin border in this application so I haven’t done much work trying to find how to remove it.

      To see what it looks like – the page is one of my clients at (take the spaces out, I didn’t want this to get tagged as spam)
      Hope this helps someone with the same problem.

    Hello, I visited paypal site today and noticed that it said to only use the donation button for a fundraising cause. It said to chose another option if you are not raising money for a cause. So are we no longer able to use donate buttons on our blogs if it is not for a cause? I was hoping to raise money to help finance my blog.

      You can definitely use the donate button as several folks are using it.

    So, I want to add a “donate” button to my blog so that I may expand later and use the money to buy vB 5 or something of the kind.
    However, PayPal only allows non-profit organizations to use their donate feature from what I have seen.
    How do I solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

      This may be a very old post but it’s still getting traffic so I thought I’d answer this. I also believed donate buttons were only for charities but that’s apparently not true. You can read more about it here:

      They do take a cut but I’m wondering what happens if you choose not to use the word “donate” and instead add the word near the regular icon? I just find it absurd that everyone wants a cut of what you’re attempting to get fundraising for.

    Thanks, the button shows up and works but there is some extra code showing either side of it. I replaced the code in blue in this string:

    for the 2 URL bits but didn’t know what I am supposed to put for the “_blank’ del and “nofollow” bits…I am guessing this is the issue the extra code is “” after it…

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      You might need to create a custom page template for the page with the paypal donation button. In the custom page template you can put conditional tags to check a user’s logged in status and show them a paypal button, like this:

       <?php
      if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
          echo 'your paypal button code here';
      } else {
          echo 'Please sign in to see the Payment options';
      }
      ?>

    Once my Donate button on my WordPress sidebar takes me to the PayPal donation page, my email address shows up as the default email in the “Log In To PayPal” box. Is there any way to leave the email box blank instead? I would prefer that my email address not show up.

    For some reason i only see 3 options under {choose a button type}: 1.shopping cart, 2.buy now, and 3.subscription? I don’t see donation btn. Are they the same thing?

    Responder

    • vivian

      I just figured out paypal has different options for different countries. However, I have another question, How do you really use “Use my secure merchant account ID” to protect email address? Under “Merchant account IDs ” I chose this option “Use my secure merchant account ID” instead of “Use my primary email address xxxxx” for security purpose. After I Copy/paste the code and test out the donate btn, it took me to “pay with paypal page”, but i see my email displayed “huge” on the top left corner. I see some blogs have their logo display there instead of email address. How do I do that? I really don’t want junk mails. Thank you!!

      The text widget is not suppose to shorten anything. Are you using the sidebar text widget? This could be an issue with a plugin.

    The “Donate” button is only to be used by charities and non-profit corporations. If you do other wise, PayPal will freeze your account. See their rules.

      I suppose if that is true, then all the plugin developers with donate button should get their accounts banned.

    Hi, I am having a problem with the code above. The code where you can post it on a page or post. I was trying to post my code on a page, and the image shows up,but it is not functioning. The image is the only thing that shows up the button does not work I copied the code and tried to link them together,but nothing is working. Am I doing the code right? Could I send you my code or something and maybe you or someone can fix it?

      If you are just pasting the image code, then it would just show the image. You have to combine the image code and the link code.

    The above code works. However, I am having a problem with using the PayPal return URL under the advance section. I have created a WP page to return with a thank you message. However, the PayPal return is sending the user back to the home page of the WP site. It has replace my http://www.kingsportsavealife.com/?page_id=62 with a return link code for the PayPal page that indicated that the donation has been made. Any idea how to get PayPal to send to the WP page that I want to show? Thanks

    I know you are mostly geared for bloggers, and this article focuses on donations for support. But I run a WP website for my business. What would be the best way for me to put a PayPal button on my site that would let my clients pay their invoices from me? Those might be all kinds of different amounts– how can the client enter the exact amount of their bill? I don’t see any option in PayPal for the user to enter an amount except in a “donation” button, and these are definitely not donations!
