can website.org/donate go straight to a PayPal payment page?

Can a URL be made to be directed straight to a payment page?

You would need to use the email or hyperlink version of the Donation item button code.

How do I figure out what that is?

I need to know the proper format for the redirect URL.

This is the button code: How do I properly write the URL, paypal.com/ ???

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="Q2QY3KGRFHZLQ">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" 
name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

Thanks, I found it, you have to click the Email tab on the button code page.

That's correct:

You can build your own Button Text Links from scratch or take advantage of the Online Button Creator within your PayPal Account.   After generating the button code online, select the "Email" tab to view the Text Link Code.   Note, the "Email" tab will not be available if have included dropdown selections or text boxes in your item button code.   This is because you cannot include dropdown selections or text boxes in a Text or Hyperlink.
