Hi Sarah,

thanx 4 ur help. I tried copy the codes into my wordpress, in the quick preview mode, it is able to show the donate button but once I saved and published the page, the button is missing.

do u know whether is it feasible to use a text hyperlink instead such as based on the website you give me with query string?

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...@email.com&item_name=Donate&currency_code=USD

I am not sure whether can I just form the URL like this which business I put my paypal email? But the links seems to work.

Please let me know if I used it correctly or is there any other more query string for me to use.

Thanx a lot =D

here the solution to your problem.


<a href="this is the code what you have copied"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" mce_src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" alt="Please make some donations"></a>

replace the "this is the code what you have copied" with the email link when creating the button.

Eh I'm sorry to bump this up as Im having a relatively similar question.

But the thing is the guide link provided is for USA's paypal. Singapore's Paypal have nothing related to a donation button at all.

So how do you all actually got up with the code and is getting times on which donation icon to change to?

hope this help you

While the guide using USA paypal tells you to click merchant tool, paypal.com.sg
Had nothing close to the name. Merchant services link is nothing but a whole chunk page of useless ads. ow well.


Even though I managed to find a button page by googling the site, it only has Buy now, Shopping cart, Subscription buttons to choose from. No donation buttons.

It can't be done - unfortunately

I had the same problem and chanced upon this post.
I contacted paypal and this was their reply - in short, it can't be done if you're based in Singapore.
