If you’re not doing online donations yet, this will make you want to start. We’ve made it so easy to set up online donations that all you have to do is put in your email address.
First off, if you don’t have a PayPal or Amazon Payments account for your non-profit yet, go get one. It’s easy: for PayPal, go to https://www.paypal.com/nonprofits, and for Amazon Payments go to https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/nonprofit.
Set up PayPal or Amazon Simple Pay (or both)

To get started, go to Settings, and click Online Donations. Then, click either PayPal or Amazon Simple Pay to begin setting up the gateway.
- Click the slider to enable PayPal
- Enter your mail address. This email address should be the one you used to set up your PayPal account. (If you haven’t set up a PayPal or Amazon Payments account yet, this would be a good time to do it. See below, under Additional Resources, for some links to get you started.)
- Select a default source. (more about sources)
- Save PayPal settings.

That’s it – you’re now set up to receive online donations! You can either stop here and stick with your plain-jane donation page, or you can read on to learn about fundraising pages and advanced options. Read More
