Overview

If you run a nonprofit organization or want to accept voluntary contributions from your audience, you can add a PayPal donation button to your Kajabi pages. This allows visitors to support your cause directly without going through a traditional checkout process. PayPal provides a straightforward way to create and embed donation buttons that handle secure payment processing.

FAQs

​
Do I need a PayPal Business account?

Yes, PayPal requires a Business account to create donation buttons. Personal accounts cannot generate donation button code.

​
Can I accept donations through Kajabi Payments instead?

Kajabi Payments is designed for product sales rather than donations. For donation functionality, PayPal’s dedicated donation button is the recommended approach.

​
Will donation transactions appear in my Kajabi dashboard?

No, PayPal donations are processed entirely through PayPal and won’t appear in your Kajabi sales reports. You can track donations in your PayPal account.

​
Can I customize the donation button appearance?

PayPal offers several button styles and sizes during the creation process. You can also use custom CSS within Kajabi to further style the button container.
