Donate to Non-profit buttons

[EBGwd]

I read that you do not have to have a Paypal account to donate to a non-profit.

We have applied for non-profit and setup account.  Currently in process of providing more info for approval.

I have setup the button that we made from the Paypal account.  Placed it on our website and tried it out.

Had a couple of problems.

1. When the button directed to the Paypal website for the donation, it made users choose a password and setup a Paypal account.  Why and how to fix.  Most of our users will use a credit card and will not want to sign up for a Paypal account.

2. Unable to link the button to the Paypal account id.  It linked to the primary user email account.  We do not want the Primary user email floating around for spammers.  How do I change the button to reference the account.  When I went into account button preferences the little circle was grayed out for account id and only the primary user email address was available.

Thanks

Hey there, if you wish to receive payment, for charities or business, in the manner that you are describing here (donators not having to access a PayPal account). Then I would suggest applying for the Virtual Terminal or PayPal Pro. You will not need to show your full e-mail address either, just your charity/business name.

To apply for Website Payments Pro you need to have a PayPal Business account. You can upgrade your existing account or (if you do not yet have a PayPal account) you can open a Business account during the Sign Up process.

Here's how to apply for Website Payments Pro:

1. Go to www.paypal.co.uk and log in to your account.
2. Select the 'Products & Services' tab.
3. Click 'Learn More' about Website Payments Pro.
4. Click 'Sign Up Now' and follow the on-screen instructions.

We'll email you in approximately 2 days to let you know if your application was approved.
