Paypal donate button

[bobbie]

Has anyone done a paypal button to their program so people could donate by clicking on the button?
I have the code for a web button but man it has lots of code in it. whats the best way you have done it?

If you want to have it so they can click a regular AMS button then just create a new donation button on PayPal. When it generates the code it also generates code for an email link. Just copy this code and paste it as the URL in a File.OpenURL action. You cannot use the button code, it has to be the email link code.

File.OpenURL("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=info%40youremail%2ecom&item_name=My%20Cool%20App&item_number=MYCOOLAPP&amount=5%2e00&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8")

Works like a charm. You got to love PayPal.

Just login into PayPal. Click on the Merchant Tools tab. Click Donations on the right under Key Features. Create your button.
