0:01
you can create a donation link on your
0:04
PayPal account so when you create a
0:05
donation link it means people can go
0:08
ahead and start donating money for you
0:10
or they can offer you small Gifts of
0:12
appreciation for your work or for
0:14
support so my name is Isaac and this is
0:17
a minute with AI so to get started go
0:19
ahead and log into your PayPal account
0:21
and as you can see this is my PayPal
0:24
account homepage now from here look for
0:26
the gear
0:27
button and then tap on it
0:32
and this will open up your account or
0:34
your profile and you'll be able to see
0:36
all the details now under this look for
0:38
the option called seller tools and here
0:41
it is tap on
0:44
it then here now we can create various
0:47
buttons that we can add or we can share
0:49
with our clients or with our customers
0:51
so one of the best seller tool is
0:53
creating PayPal buttons and we are told
0:56
here that PayPal buttons can help us
0:58
create and manage secure buttons for
1:01
your customers to add items to their cut
1:04
buy donate or subscribe so whether you
1:06
want a donation you want whether you
1:08
want a subscription or you just want to
1:11
sell items and you want to add a little
1:13
button on the cut you can use this
1:16
option to create a link that you'll add
1:18
to your button so go ahead and click on
1:21
PayPal
1:22
buttons and then we shall Lear on this
1:25
page now we have various ways we can
1:27
create PayPal buttons but you have to
1:29
not that some of these buttons will
1:31
require you to have a business account
1:34
so if you have an ordinary account you
1:36
can still create some of these buttons
1:39
or some of these links to accept
1:41
donation or payments we have quite a
1:43
number of them for instance we have pay
1:46
link and buttons shopping cart buttons
1:48
by now add to cut and so many others so
1:53
we are interested in this donate and
1:55
you're told this will help us accept one
1:57
time all recurring donations with
1:59
customer donation button sharable links
2:02
or even QR code so we shall use this go
2:05
ahead and tap on
2:08
it now under my account I already have
2:11
an existing link that I can just tap
2:13
here and get but I want to show you the
2:15
step by step process that I use to
2:16
create that link so if I go here to edit
2:19
my page where I set the link and tap on
2:23
edit there are three steps you have to
2:25
take to be able to create a link for the
2:27
donation button you can see we have
2:29
three steps here and this is step one of
2:31
the three and here you are asked to make
2:33
your page as unique as possible because
2:36
your button your QR code or your link
2:38
will take donors to this page and this
2:41
will include your name and choose
2:43
whether you want to display your logo or
2:45
not for my case I didn't choose to
2:46
display the logo and then you have to
2:48
choose whether you want to add to add an
2:50
image to your donor page or not and we
2:52
have here an inspiring message to your
2:55
donor so which message do you have for
2:57
them and customize your message for
2:59
instance I wrote thank you for your kind
3:02
donation and just add be
3:05
blessed so that is one custom message
3:08
that you can give to everyone who clicks
3:10
on that link and makes a donation then
3:13
tap on this continue button to go to the
3:15
second step step two of three now here
3:17
you have to choose the currency you'll
3:19
be receiving your donation in for my
3:21
case I chose the USD dollars we have
3:23
quite a number of Curren you can choose
3:25
from here so choose yours according to
3:28
your preference and then we have have
3:30
here an option on how much do you want
3:33
donors to give you so you can either
3:35
specify the amount or you can set it to
3:38
any amount so I just set to any amount
3:41
so if you want to specify amount you can
3:44
just tap on this enter the amount that
3:46
you want to be receiving from donors and
3:49
then continue then you have to toggle
3:51
this whether you want to give donors
3:53
option to increase their donation amount
3:56
to help offset the cost of fees and this
3:58
will still be optional to them whether
4:00
they want to add that extra charges or
4:03
not and also you can choose whether you
4:05
want your donors to make recurring
4:07
monthly donations and they can also have
4:09
that option and in case you have chosen
4:12
that then choose the type of recurrence
4:14
or how frequent do you want to receive
4:16
donations here you can choose up to two
4:18
between weekly monthly and yearly so I
4:21
chose the two and also if you want to
4:23
let doners choose a specific program for
4:25
Their donation you can allow this to be
4:27
on and this when you turn on this can
4:30
also help you increase your donations
4:32
and then tap on continue now this is the
4:35
last page choose on whether you want to
4:37
get donor mailing address sometimes it's
4:39
good to have the mailing address for
4:41
your donor or you can keep it private so
4:44
one of the reason why you may want to
4:45
get mailing address for your donors is
4:47
so that you can just interact with them
4:49
get to thank them and also appreciate
4:52
their kind donation however you are
4:53
warned that you can only use donor's
4:56
address in accordance with PayPal's
4:58
privacy statement so make sure that you
5:00
keep it professional and within the
5:03
guidelines of PayPal and then here you
5:05
have to also choose whether you want to
5:07
let donor sent you an optional note with
5:11
their donation or not so I also turned
5:13
it on just to give them an allowance
5:16
that they can also share something like
5:19
a dedication or instruction for how they
5:22
want their donation to be used so it is
5:24
good to leave this on and then you have
5:27
two options here one for taking donors
5:29
back to your website if you want to link
5:30
your website to your page or whether you
5:32
want to add an extra HTML button
5:35
variables you can also choose to include
5:38
them so once you're done tap on finish
5:41
and this will go on and save your
5:43
details and now you'll be taken back to
5:45
this donation page where you can either
5:48
get a link or a QR code and this has
5:52
been designed specifically for you so if
5:55
you tap on get link and now you can copy
5:57
this link and share it it on your social
6:00
media blogs in emails and everywhere
6:04
your donors are so that's how you get
6:07
the link so once you get this link you
6:09
can go ahead if you want to share it on
6:10
your YouTube page you can do so on your
6:12
website you can share this link and
6:14
whenever your donors now tap on it
6:17
they'll be able to make a client
6:18
donation alternatively you can also
6:20
share a QR code where they can scan and
6:24
make a donation and this is our QR code
6:27
so I can go ahead and download this
6:29
donation QR code and it will come
6:31
straight to my computer so whenever
6:33
someone scans it will take him or her
6:35
straight to the donation page so if you
6:38
also feel kind enough to make a donation
6:40
for me I've also left this link on my
6:42
YouTube profile page you can go ahead
6:44
tap on it and make any donation of any
6:47
kind and it will be much appreciated so
