How do I create a Donate button with a text field?

Our redesigned Donation button allows for a simple toggle to display a text box to receive additional information from your donors.

Here's how:

  1. Open the PayPal buttons page.
  2. Select the Donate button type.
  3. Select Customize a button.
  4. On Step 4, Set up your payment page, move the radio slider to the right next to Let donors send you an optional note with their donation. The slider will turn blue, and a checkmark will appear.
  5. Click Publish.
