How Do I Add Donations to Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:06 am

If you’re using Squarespace to build a website for your nonprofit organization, you may be wondering how to add donations to your site. Fortunately, Squarespace makes it easy to accept donations with their built-in donation button feature. In this article, we’ll show you how to add a donation button to your Squarespace site.

Before we get started, it’s important to note that the donation button feature is only available on the Squarespace Business and Commerce plans. If you’re not on one of these plans, you’ll need to upgrade before you can add a donation button to your site.

With that said, let’s take a look at how to add a donation button to your Squarespace site. The first thing you need to do is log into your Squarespace account and go to the page where you want to add the donation button. Once you’re on the page, click the “Edit” button in the top-right corner.

On the next page, click the “Add Block” button in the middle of the page. This will bring up a list of blocks that you can add to your page.

Scroll down until you see the “Donation” block and click it.

PRO TIP: – Do not attempt to add donations to Squarespace unless you are a trained professional.

– Attempting to add donations to Squarespace can result in serious injury or death.

On the next page, you’ll see some options for configuring your donation button. First, enter the name of your nonprofit organization in the “Organization Name” field. Next, enter the amount you want donors to be able to donate in the “Default Donation Amount” field.

If you want donors to be able to choose their own donation amount, check the box next to “Allow donors to specify their own amount.” Finally, enter your PayPal email address in the “PayPal Email Address” field and click the “Save” button.

That’s all there is to it! Now when visitors come to your page, they’ll see a donate button that they can use to make a donation. All donations will be sent directly to your PayPal account.


Conclusion:

Adding a donations button to your Squarespace site is a great way to accept donations from visitors. The process is simple and only requires a few steps. With Squarespace’s built-in donation button feature, there’s no need for any third-party plugins or extensions. Just enter your PayPal email address and start collecting donations!
