Hi all, I'm a non profit organization based in Sarajevo, I need to customize my paypal.me link to receive donations. So I need to know how :1. Create predefined amounts and an additional field to select the amount you like. 2. Activate the option to choose to donate also by credit card as well as by paypal account. 3. Create different links based on the project the user wants to support with the donation. This via dropdown menu or some other way.
I hope I was clear and I hope you can help me. Thank you !

PayPal me links don’t have all these options you’re asking for. The most you can do is…


Request a specific amount:
Just add the amount you want to request to the end of your link. For example, use PayPal.Me/DiaRusso/25 to request 25.00 in your primary currency.

 

Request a specific amount and currency:

You can request a specific currency by adding the currency code to the amount. So to ask for Australian Dollars, for example, you would use PayPal.Me/DiaRusso/25AUD.

 

Another option is to use PayPal Payments Standard donation button/QR code/page or PayPal Checkout as the payment solution. These options let your donors complete their transactions on the PayPal website.

 

For further assistance, open a tech support ticket:

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Hi @BoDoFoDi

 

Thank you for the screenshot and the additional information. 

 

You would be correct in saying that you are getting an error because of the country the account is opened in. Not all countries are eligible for all products. Looking at the error message you are getting it would seem that you are not eligible. We are always adapting and changing so it may become available in the future. 

 

Thanks
