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:

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. 🙂
