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
