Paypal Donate Button

Paypal is the most common and easiest pay service in the world. Many non-commercial bloggers or NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) use this Donate Button on their website. I don't know how much funds can be saved from this button. I hope someone would contribute to your organization by donating a penny or a little bit money. Don't expect "Donate" button too much but itself would be better than nothing.

Instruction

  • Open a web browser, and go to http://www.paypal.com. Then you should sign in paypal to get Donate Button. If you don't have your account yet, you can create your account right now. Paypal is free but a great solution to get paid or pay without worry about security.
