Link for donations. Unable to find business.

I need to put a PayPal link on link tree for payments at an upcoming fundraiser, but cannot figure out how to do this. NOT a QR code but a payment link.  I've tried using the donation page from our website that redirects to PayPal, but it only works once or twice, then stops.  Please tell me how to place a URL link on a site so it will direct people to PayPal for donations.

 

Also, my business is not even showing up when I search PayPal from my personal account. These 2 things are extremely frustrating. HELP please!!!

You can export a shareable payment link for donations as described here:

https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/non-profits/fundraising/donate-button

See #5. 

To create your link, go to https://www.paypal.com/buttons/ and click “Donate”

Click the “Create a link” panel on the left.

Once you have the link, visit this page for how to put a link on your website:

Also, my business is not even showing up when I search PayPal from my personal account.


Have you ever make a transaction from your personal account to your business account?

 

Did you create a PayPal.me profile for your business account? 

Go to Pay & Get Paid > PayPal.me

 

If that does it work, contact customer services:

https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/contact-us      

Scroll down to click “Message Us” or “Call Us” option on the bottom.

 

Or reach out to PayPal at Facebook or Twitter:

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Good day @setphanie,

 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

 

Please follow below steps to get the donate button "Shareable URL" generated by PayPal. 

Login PayPal.com >> click on "settings icon" >> go to "Account settings" >> Website payments >> PayPal buttons >> select button type >> fill all the required details >> In the last step you will find a "Shareable URL/Email" section, please use this URL on your website with the help of your website developer. 

(Or)

Login PayPal.com >> go to direct link "https://www.paypal.com/buttons/" >> follow the above steps 

 

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi
