Hi Sally,

What exactly do you need to know?

Pretty much what are my first steps? Can i do it myself or will i need to get a professional to do it. Is it easy to link a website to paypay and what is the cheapest way of doing it.

Thanks so so much

PayPal's website can help you with that, but if you've got a real charity that you're raising money for use mycharity.ie

It really depends on what the sites aim is, and your own technical skill. Implementing a paypal donation is not the hardest thing in the world to do, but as they say it's only easy if you know how. If your image is important then obviously I'd say get a professional to do it, if not and it's purely just so it will function then try it yourself. As mentioned above paypal will have most of the info you need, and this may be a useful article:

Also, as mentioned above if it's a simple site for a charity, then you should consider mycharity.ie
