Paypal donations on a web site

[Steveg]

Hi,

I've been asked to add a way of paying donations by PayPal on a web site I manage. Reading the information on PayPal it looks simple enough. But often these things turn out to be anything but simple.

Anyone have any experience of this, and is it as simple as they claim?

Any particular things to watch out for?

Thanks for any comments

Very simple to do. I have it implemented here (there is a donate link at the top of the page below the menu bar) and have put up paypal donations on another site. It can be as simple as publishing the email address associated with the account but I would advise against that as spam bots would harvest the address. That is why they have buttons you create at the paypal site and code that you can just cut and paste into the site. You can also create your own buttons and associate with the account too.

Let me know if I can help you with that in any way.

Just thought I'd say that this worked fine.

It's very easy to set up.
