Paypal Donation button on your blog

A Donate button is now very visible in most blogs. Bloggers are hoping that someone kind hearted enough might stumble on their blogsite, and will be willing to  donate a little amount, which can be sent directly to a Paypal account. That amount can be used to maintain the blog. If you would like to install your own Donate button on your blog, just follow the steps below.


First and foremost, you need to have a Paypal account. It is a requirement. If you do not have one yet, sign up here.




1. Log in to Paypal. Use your Paypal email address.




2. Go to the Merchant Services tab. Click on the Donate option.

3. For the box that says "Accept Payments For", just select "Donations". And, for the Organization/Service, you may enter anything in there. As for, I entered the word "Blog", as the donation will be for my blog. You may then scroll to the bottom of that page.


4. Click on CREATE BUTTON.
 
 5. Paypal will then give you a code. Copy the complete codes, and paste it into your blogsite's HTML. If you are using a Blogger account, just log in to your account, and do the following: Dash Board>Layout>Page Element>Add Page Element>HTML>Paste the codes, and save.
