Paypal link boxes

_PD_ · 20 Aug 2007 at 18:19

Hi there,

How the heck do I get one of those clcik buttons that allows people to send money to me on paypal?

I'm setting up a charity donation page, and I want one of those click boxes that lets people quickly and easily send money to me. I see them all over the place!

While I'm here, is there a minimum amount that people can send me over paypal?

Thanks!

Goto the Merchant section when you log into paypal. All details are there

As above ^ Merchant tools.

Normally it's something like:

Code:

<html>
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="PAYPALEMAIL">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="DESCRIPTIONOFPAYMENT">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="AMOUNTTODONATE(e.g.32.00">
<input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>
</html>

Found something, thanks. Though I can't get it to work on Facebook... anything I can do? Can I create a text link that allows people to pay money into my account just by entering their card details?

Thanks!

Yep, again that should be in merchant tools

Try:

Code:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr/?cmd=_xclick&[email protected]&item_name=DonationDescription&currency_code=GBP&amount=32

Replace:
[email protected] with your account email
DonationDescription with the description of what they are paying
and 32 with the amount of pounds to donate
