How Do You Add PayPal Donate Button to Weebly?

Last updated on December 31, 2022 @ 4:13 am

Adding a PayPal donate button to your Weebly website is a great way to collect donations from your visitors. There are a few different ways to add a PayPal donate button to your Weebly site.

One way is to use the Weebly HTML editor. To do this, you’ll need to login to your Weebly account and go to the Edit HTML/CSS page for your site. Then, copy and paste the following code into the HTML editor:

<form action="https://www.PayPal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="YOUR_PAYPAL_EMAIL_ADDRESS">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="DONATION_NAME">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="image"
src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif"
border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif"
width="1" height="1">
</form>

Be sure to replace YOUR_PAYPAL_EMAIL_ADDRESS with your actual PayPal email address, and DONATION_NAME with the name of your donation (e.g., “My Site Donation”).

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a PayPal donate button to your Weebly website, be aware that there are a few potential risks. First, make sure that you are comfortable with the way PayPal handles donations and that your website visitors are aware of how their donations will be used. Secondly, be sure to test the donate button on your site before making it live, to ensure that it works as intended. Finally, be cautious of scammers who may try to take advantage of the donate button by impersonating a legitimate charity or organization.

Once you’ve added the code, you can preview your site to see how the button looks. If you’re happy with it, be sure to click Save and then Publish at the top of the page to make your changes live on your site.

Another way to add a PayPal donate button is to use a Weebly app. There are a few apps available that will allow you to add a PayPal donate button to your Weebly site. One such app is called “PayPal Donate Button”.

To add this app to your Weebly site, login to your account and go to the Add App page. Then, search for “PayPal Donate Button.” Once you’ve found the app, click on it and then click on the Add App button.

Once the app has been added, you’ll need to configure it by entering your PayPal email address and donation name (as described above). Once you’ve done that, you can preview your site to see how the button looks and then save and publish your changes when you’re happy with it.

Adding a PayPal donate button is a great way to collect donations from visitors to your Weebly site. By using either the HTML editor or a Weebly app, you can easily add a PayPal donate button without having any coding skills required.
