The PayPal Donate button is a convenient and cost-effective way to collect donations online. 

Charities can use PayPal to collect donations and can receive a discounted rate. To get the discounted rate, we need to confirm your charity account.

You can begin the confirmation process at www.paypal.com/charities. You’ll need to provide information to prove that:

• Your organization is legally registered with the appropriate regulatory body.
• You’re a representative of the organization.

When donors click your Donate button, they complete their donation on the PayPal site. There are no monthly or set-up fees with donation button payments. Your organization only pays processing fees when they receive a donation.

Other features:

• Customers can choose to automatically give a monthly donation to your organization. Both the organization and the customer can control the automatic payments in their respective profile settings if they would like to cancel or change the amount.
• Donate button is automatically mobile-optimized for easier payments on small devices.
