I am trying to find a way for a donor to specify using a text box or drop down menu what they want their donation to go toward. I found this page:
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/get-started/donate-button-text-field
and was able to duplicate the steps to create a pulldown menu and/or text box, but the problem is that we don't have a separate website, only a paypal account and a mailing list that is managed through mailchimp.
We currently include a donate button in our emails that takes a donor to the standard paypal donation page where they can sign into their account and choose the donation amount. Is there a way to add the text box and/or pulldown menu to this page? The text box and pulldown menu don't seem to work in Mailchimp; after the code is added and the email template saved, Mailchimp automatically reformats the code to remove the text box and pulldown menu I created.
