How do you add PayPal to a contribution page?

A step-by-step guide on adding a PayPal hyperlink to your RevEngine contribution page as an alternative payment method for donors.

If you want to give your contributors the option to make payments via PayPal, you can include a simple hyperlink in a text block on your RevEngine contribution page.

Before you start:

  1. These instructions assume that you already have a PayPal account and a URL for people to submit payments to it.
  2. Adding a PayPal link to your page will require you to edit Rich Text blocks on your page. If you haven’t done this before or need a refresher, you can learn how to add addition text to your contribution page.

Things to know

RevEngine currently supports two third-party payment platforms: Apple Pay and Google Pay. Enabling these payment methods will add branded buttons for each one to your RevEngine contribution page.

We’ll add support for additional payments such as PayPal in the future, but for now, this isn’t built into your contribution page payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

How to use Rich Text blocks to add a PayPal option

  1. Sign in at RevEngine
  2. Select the page you’d like to add a PayPal link from the Pages section of your RevEngine dashboard
  3. Select the Edit icon in the main menu to open the page editor
  4. Select the Layout tab
  5. Decide where you want to include your PayPal link.
    1. If you want to add it to a preexisting Rich Text block, find the corresponding block in the page editor and click the Edit icon to add and format its text.
    2. If you want to create a new Rich Text block for your link, add the block, then drag it so it appears where you want it on your page.
  6. Inside the Rich Text block, add a link to your PayPal account. Write companion text to guide your readers. For example: “You may also contribute via PayPal.” The click on the hyperlink icon and add your PayPal URL.
  7. Save changes at the bottom of the Rich Text block
  8. Select View at the top of the main menu to see your page as your audience would see it
