Is there a way to have a membership button and then at checkout also have a way for a member to add a donation amount? I am using Joomla and not sure if this can be done.
yes, its possible, generate your donate button at paypal site: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_donate-intro-outside

I have set up the option to pay payments from my site with the PayPal system API. Everything has been fine for several months.
In a conversation with PayPal customer service I was told that I am sending the payments in a state of payment (for the purchase of a product) and not a donation
And that makes for mistakes
The problem is that because these are non-profit organizations it should be defined as a donation and not a payment
In this guide I have not found how to set it up: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integrate/
You are using a Checkout flow, probably with a Smart Button.
If you want to use the Donation flow instead, you can create a Donate button via https://www.paypal.com/buttons
If you want the button to be editable so as to change the email of the receiving 'business' account, in step 2 uncheck the option to save the button at PayPal, and when viewing the code click the option above to remove code protection.
I am using PayPal Smart Button Integration and I want only debit/credit option for payment, not PayPal checkout which redirects the user to PayPal. How can I disable PayPal checkout button?
I have gone through the disable fundings option but even there is no such information available to disable PayPal button.
Is it possible to do so?
Whenever PayPal processes Debit/Credit Card payments, they also process PayPal payments as en equally presented option, so customers can choose their preferred one
There are some few exceptions like a merchant account with the Braintree gateway
Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the PayPal button from the smart buttons checkout as that is a core requirement of the smart buttons checkout.
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.
Paypal makes it really easy to create a donate URL. A donor can enter a custom $ amount or use a fixed one. We'll use the custom amount, since it's more flexible. Is there anyway to allow the donor to enter a custom amount, and have PayPal display a checkbox for example to allow this amount to be a recurring monthly donation via a URL?
We checked out the "subscribe" button, but it only returns a form, not a URL, and didn't see anywhere to let the donor choose the amount.
Basically, this should be an optional field in the donate URL. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
You'll need to use standard subscription buttons or the Recurring Payments API. Either way you could setup your page so the user chooses those options on your site prior to being sent over to PayPal.
use cmd=_donations. Paypal will prompt for an amount and whether it is recurring.
PayPal now has recurring donations, for mobile checkout, by default. See this blog post.
I have a question regarding PayPal integration with my website. I have a Premier account with PayPal. I tried integrating it with my website by adding a 'Buy Now' button. When I click on it it asks the end user to create a PayPal account. However, I want the users to be able to make a payment directly with their credit/debit card without creating a PayPal account.
I am not a technical guy, so I might have missed out on something. I want to know if it is possible to integrate paypal without me having to code something technically. Kindly advise.
According to PayPal, buyers do not need a PayPal account to pay you:
They can pay with their credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, American
Express, and Discover) — all without having a PayPal account.

To create the button, simply visit PayPal's button creator wizard and supply the required information. Once submitted, PayPal will autogenerate the HTML for you. See: Create PayPal payment button
This happened because the account was a PayPal account in UAE, and this feature is not enabled there yet.
