- Hi, I'm Darlene from GoDaddy's How To.
- Hey and I'm Emma from GoDaddy's The Journey
and as you can see I'm working from home over here
in San Diego, similar with Darlene over in Arizona.
Um, but yeah, we just wanted to take the time to reach out
to you guys during the COVID-19 crisis and let you know,
Hey, we're here, we're in it with you and don't hesitate
to reach out, to ask us questions and hopefully you find
these videos to be helpful.
- If you're using GoDaddy's website builder,
there are actually a couple of ways that you can start
accepting donations through your site.
So let's show you how to do that.
Let's start with adding a PayPal button directly
to your site.
Our starting point is website builder.
We're gonna add a new section to our home page
from the "my site" pane, choose "pages and sections".
Then add section, select the PayPal button section.
There are three different layout options.
Choose the one you like and click add.
You can see the new section added in the preview window.
At this point you can edit how the section looks using
the pane on the right.
You can edit the headline description and organization name.
You can also update your background image.
I'm gonna remove mine.
That looks good.
The last thing to do is update the PayPal settings.
If you don't have a PayPal account,
you can click on the link to create one.
If you do, you can add your PayPal email address.
You can change the name of the button.
The currency defaults to US dollar.
You can change to a different currency if you're not
in the US.
You can choose your donation method.
I'm gonna leave mine as donors can donate any amount
when things look good, click done.
At this point we're gonna move our new section to the top
of our homepage so it's front and center
when people visit our site.
Click home.
All of the different sections that show
on our homepage display.
Scroll and find the "help our cause" section and click
and hold the mouse on the left to drag the section
to the top of the list.
Now it displays right below our header.
If it makes sense to edit your header,
make sure you do that.
This will be a great place for you to share
how you're affected by COVID-19 and how you're keeping
your customers safe.
When things look good, you're ready to publish your site.
Before we do that, we wanna show you how to add
an embed code to your site.
This is what you can do if you're accepting donations
through a GoFundMe page.
We're still on our website's homepage.
We're going to add a new section.
This time we're going to select the HTML section
and choose add.
I know it might sound scary to add HTML, but don't worry.
All you have to do is find the HTML embed code
from your GoFundMe page.
Let's go to the GoFundMe page.
In the upper right hand corner, there's a share button.
Clicking share will open a box with different sharing
options and we want the embedded HTML code.
Click that option and then copy the link that displays
in the copy link box.
Once you copy the embed code, go back to your website
and paste the link into the custom code box.
Give this section a title, and you're done.
Like before you can move the section up or down
on your homepage.
And when things look good, you're ready to publish.
- All right, thank you so much, Darlene,
for covering how to add donation tools on your website.
I gotta be honest.
It was easier than I thought.
Thanks to you and it was awesome to see you Darlene.
- Good to see you too, Emma.
- Thank you yeah, I realized it's a difficult time
for everyone right now and we want to give our support
to our community and the businesses out there.
So if you do have questions, please don't hesitate
to reach out.
And you can always call GoDaddy Support anytime.
Stay safe, stay healthy.
