How to generate a PayPal donate button for custom email address?
For an unhosted button, use a link like: https://www.paypal.com/webscr?cmd=_donations&item_name=Donation%20purpose%20goes%20here&amount=¤cy_code=USD&business=emailusernam#somedomain.com
Use an image such as https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif
For the options available via https://www.paypal.com/buttons , you must create and save the button when logged into the receiving PayPal account, resulting in a hosted button.

I would like to include PayPal recurring donation buttons on my website so that users can donate to other nonprofits/charities of my choosing. My website would include many of these buttons, and all money would be sent directly to these charities. How would I go about this? As far as I know, one can only create donate/subscription buttons where the money goes to the creator of the button. Thanks!
When you create the button make sure to uncheck the option to save the button at PayPal, which would bind it to that account.
When you do that the HTML code provided will include a "business" parameter that would be the email address of the account the profile should be created with and the money should drop in to.
Another option would be using the Express Checkout API, with which you can specify the account the money should go to with the SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID parameter.
I have created my own Buy Now button where the amount is entered in a text box on my web page by users. My Paypal id hard written in this form. Is it possible to save this button in my own Merchant account?
Use the Standard Integration Wizard to create your button. Step 3, I think it is, in the process asks if you want to manage inventory for the button. If you click into the details for that one you'll see it has a check box for "Save to my PayPal account" which should be checked by default.
When you create a button with this option it gets saved in your button manager and can be adjusted in the future if you want.
If you're familiar with web service API's you can also use the Button Manager API to generate buttons that are saved in your account. If you're working with PHP my class library for PayPal will make that very simple for you.
I want to create a 'buy now' button for Paypal.
Here is the process :
Visitor fills out a form on my site with info such as name, email
Visitor clicks 'buy now'
Visitor visits Paypal, places payment
Either Visitor is redirected back to my site
I am emailed with my visitor's information
My questions :
How do I pass these custom fields to Paypal? I'm happy with a "Buy now" button.
How do I get Paypal to redirect back to me after purchase?
How do I get Paypal to pass those custom fields to my site?
Once you have started creating your button, click on Step 3: Customize advanced features.
Then put a check mark in the spot that says "Take Customers to this URL when Finished"
Once you enter your URL and save your button your customers will be redirected at the end of checkout.
Below is the screen shot from PayPal.
Sign into your PayPal account and then go to Merchant Services --> Create Payment Buttons for your Website.
Click on the icon under the Guides for the Buy Now button and it has step by step instructions on what to do.

Good luck!
on paypals page, you can click on 'send money' enter the email address and $$amount and hit send... and then paypal asks for login etc...
what I want to know, is there a way, I can essentially submit that form with the email address and $$ already populated
something like paypal.com/sendmoney?to_email=xyz#xyz.com&&amount=25.00
I want to be able to provide my users with a link that already contains the info so they dont have to click the link and then fill in the details when they get to the page..
You can't do that directly with the PayPal page, but you could build your own version of that page using the Adaptive Payments API, specifically Pay.
how do i create donate buttons using paypal premier account?. i couldn't find donation button creation link, how can i do that?.
Is there any special procedure to get donation button?
donate button option does not appears if user logged in, so create one without loggedin and change that code to match to registered users code like emailid and so on. But i dont know this is right or wrong. I used this method for one project and it works fine.
I got to it through this link and can see Donation as an option in the "Accept Payments For" dropdown.
If someone still needs this, then you'll find the buttons under the Merchant Services menu item in your profile. Click on the menu item and then you'll see "Create Payment Button for your website" in that page. Clicking that link, you'll be able to create your button (any type).
