How to get started with PayPal fundraising in 3 easy steps

You don't need a PayPal account to add PayPal as a payment method to your Givebutter fundraisers, and the PayPal integration is already set up for you. 

Here’s all you have to do: 

Step 1. Sign up for your free Givebutter account.🧈 ‍

Step 2. Create a fundraising campaign of your choosing (donation form, fundraising page, event, or auction) or embed a donation form, button, or bubble on your website. 🎨

Step 3. Launch your campaign and start collecting funds. 🚀

The best part? PayPal donations are pooled together with all other payments for quick and easy withdrawals. Plus, Givebutter lets donors opt-in to cover payment processing fees, so you can say goodbye to paying PayPal’s typical 1.99–2.89 + $0.49 per transaction. Smooth as butter.
