    Hey Guys,
    I create a website based on a template with joomla.

    There is a button predifined on the template, i just need to enter a webaddress.

    I can link the button to any address, i simply dont know what address i should enter to get the donation working like it would do with any paypal donation module.

    thanks for any help!

    Out of interest can you access the code to joomla without FTP, like wordpress for example. Maybe i'm on the wrong lines. Is the donate button an addition to the new theme or did it come automatically with joomla? If it was already on joomla then i'd check the settings. Could you send me the link to the site so i can try and figure out what you will need to edit if necessary.

    you need to setup a PayPal account and verify your account by adding your banking information. From there you should be able to find the link in PayPal.

    1. enter your paypal account
    2. go to merchant services
    3. in the "3 powerful solutions to meet your business needs" you see the first "Customers shop on your website and pay on PayPal."
    4. Near you'll see a frame with Key Features
    5. Click "Donations"
    6. Setup your button and than get your paypal button source code
    7. insert it in your page
    8. you are ready

    Please send me a donation via email from your paypal account to :) I am joking this is not a real email.
