Using the Janet Systems janet.PayPalDonate DotNetNuke module we are able to add a PayPal donation button to our web page. When a visitor to our website clicks on this button, they are taken to a web page on the PayPal website where they can proceed with the donation transaction.

Adding the button to your website is really easy. Simply select the module from the list of available modules and assign it to the area on the page. There are a number of configurable options which will need to be set. You will need to create a seller (merchant) account with PayPal.
