If you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/wordpress\/wordpress-hosting\">WordPress<\/a>, it\u2019s a simple matter of adding a donate button in the right places on your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you\u2019ll learn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What a donation button is<\/li><li>What kind of donations you can accept<\/li><li>How to add a donation button to your WordPress website with the donations block<\/li><li>What other plugins will help you accept donations on your website&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Donate Button?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A donate button is an easy-to-click button that will take you to a donation page. On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/moving-your-website-just-got-easier-wordpress-migration-plugin\/\">WordPress<\/a>, this donation button might take you to Stripe, PayPal, or another service that handles sending or receiving money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the Donation Button Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The donate button is a consistent way to ask donors for a gift. It&#8217;s a passive call-to-action that doesn\u2019t seem pushy or obnoxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because a donation button is recognizable and ideally easy to find and use, you don&#8217;t need to worry about advertising or explaining it to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Donations You Can Accept<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any amount of money counts as a donation as long as&nbsp; it\u2019s not being used to purchase a product or service. Accepting donations does not make your blog or website a charity or nonprofit \u2014 it\u2019s simply a show of support for whatever you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few reasons a website might solicit donations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Professional endeavors like obtaining a degree, obtaining certification, or visiting a conference.<\/li><li>Everyday passions, such as creating art or other hobbies.<\/li><li>Nonprofits relying on donations to keep running.<\/li><li>Creations with a physical outcome, such as a video game or short movie.<\/li><li>Creative pursuits such as writing or attempting to be published.<\/li><li>Professional bloggers funding their web <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/hosting\">hosting<\/a> and collaborations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, even if you&#8217;re collecting donations through your website, you should not stop interacting with your visitors, and you should not let your platform stagnate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should Use the Donations Block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s easier than ever to accept donations through your WordPress website \u2014 no more worrying about whether the plugin you&#8217;re using will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, you had to use PayPal or other third-party resources to collect donations. But, with Jetpack\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/jetpack.com\/support\/jetpack-blocks\/donations-block\/\">Donations block<\/a>, you no longer need to rely on PayPal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Jetpack\u2019s Donations block connects to Stripe, an online payment processing platform. Your donors can decide if they want to use a debit or credit card, or set up a recurring donation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your donors won\u2019t have to log into Stripe either \u2014 it\u2019s all handled in the Donations block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Set Up the WordPress Donations Button<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/best-woocommerce-donation-plugin\/\">donation plugins<\/a> require you to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/pricing\/\">WordPress<\/a> website with a paid plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started with this specific WordPress donation solution, start by setting up a Stripe account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/jetpack.com\/\">Jetpack<\/a>. Jetpack is a WordPress toolkit that helps users improve the design, security, and traffic of their website. It can be installed on your website like any other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/guide-to-wordpress-plugins\/\">WordPress plugin<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jetpack\u2019s core features are available for free, but to use the Donation block, you will need to purchase a <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.jetpack.com\/pricing\">Jetpack Security or Complete plan<\/a>, which starts at $20 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have activated your plan, you\u2019ll be able to add a Donation block from the <a href=\"https:\/\/jetpack.com\/support\/jetpack-blocks\/\">Jetpack section<\/a> of the block editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/ZXbYrFgL9NSE0ER3JlGHeYRWBBsB2OLX6nFGJHGonVn4YWjK25QTUReosPgVu4-RkgtsPGHNwqxnCfFkWdnQkGoMps98-z8kn0szIAkIwEGSAWQN2TiR6VdCYaD8U-A5LO8x_efn\" width=\"410\" height=\"490\"> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add your Donation block, then configure it. Everything can be edited, even the text.&nbsp; Set up three donation amounts that visitors can choose from, and make sure you set the currency to your local currency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/2NsP2p2UW4hHjfYERDZxR6goIuk6GXkMe9qIZc8AIk2LQYsV1YvgFpl8AJwkjnTPEUgV944TfwGSBxLb0krE1037leXj6CnwUP5adDHGhMKJnY3hE_OONR1585RDYBMB69xkw5xd\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hit <strong>Publish<\/strong>, and from there, you can manage your earnings, supporters, and other metrics in the <strong>Earn<\/strong> dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Kerfad79bt8QKEhr-km4aNVXO_lfHxpRlCzJzw--Ln88Hd2xC0H59Hs6rkTyyHKrjtLjFT6GpGfj5gHU5CZ6VfxEu6fytN2Te9rbx13oLpQR65vxSql8ZZb-1Fx0fmbFAlWVSvzH\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jetpack Donations Block vs. Other Donation Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are dozens of WordPress-enabled donation plugins available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why choose Jetpack\u2019s Donation block?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously mentioned, many websites use PayPal. The <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/paypal-donations\/\">PayPal Donations<\/a> plugin is appealing for many because it\u2019s free to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, free is never truly <em>free.<\/em> PayPal will charge you 30 cents per donation, and 2.9% of every donation as a processing fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, you can only receive payment through PayPal, and you won\u2019t be able customize the donate button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"199\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/j95CJw0A-VL3InLgQQs6yVLGr12rw33E1_Rt-vMQZcceT8wYMk3uUvKh--09vjwWzZ1NQfJ9by6AIOaB62oM_OSckvY1VunEtFOLL6_VHCRouxeejkD-YeWXd1Nz9p6NUlT9nJDA\"><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpcharitable.com\/pricing\/\">Charitable<\/a> is another popular donation plugin. However, this plugin is specifically for fundraising campaigns, and geared toward larger nonprofit organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another well-known donation plugin is GiveWP. They offer similar features to Jetpack\u2019s Donation block, and the pricing is similar to what you would pay for the basic Jetpack Security plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with the Jetpack plan, you\u2019re not just getting a donation plugin. You get a full suite of plugins that will enhance your website overall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a Jetpack membership, you get security features that will protect your website and your data. You\u2019ll get real-time backups, automatic scans for malware, and one-click fixes that will keep your website ahead of any security threats. Jetpack&#8217;s packages also allow you to automatically block spam from comments and forms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your website\u2019s performance will be improved while using Jetpack. You&#8217;ll see better load time and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/seo-basics\/\">search engine optimization<\/a>. Best of all, all of Jetpack\u2019s features can be implemented with minimal coding knowledge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Plugins to Encourage Donations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside Jetpack\u2019s Donation block, you may want to consider other plugins that will help garner more donations through your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Donation Thermometer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/3mU8zGC-6r9RUtHrpFplZVuo6l3AkYSAX8pfZKKLQG5jhREGwXzzVwAXnJS_Ro-QIxbguvH3Cax7y8A-wqWDdgpY6TnscSyL9duLyddLh6mOMvYsUOzWi4LLVwH3rm1Z4ucPOB4x\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When people can literally see your financial goal, it can help increase their motivation to donate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/donation-thermometer\/\">The Donation Thermometer <\/a>is a fully customizable thermometer plugin that shows your goal&#8217;s percentage met as an image.

It offers a donation goal visual for your website that is just as customizable, but has a different graphic style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fundraising Thermometer allows you to choose between two display styles and three sizes. You can also choose your currency and customize your campaign name and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jetpack\u2019s Donations block is a sleek utility tool for any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/wordpress\/managed-hosting\">WordPress<\/a> website looking to accept donations. Jetpack offers easy-to-follow instructions to implement the block on your website and allows you to customize it to your liking without knowing code or having to fuss with third-party tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Donations block allows you to accept debit or credit cards, and Stripe provides a safe and secure way for your users to donate online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give yourself the chance to generate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/passive-income-ideas\/\">passive income<\/a> and accept the support of your friends, family, and fans by adding Jetpack\u2019s Donations block to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have a website that can handle the flood of donation traffic you\u2019ll be seeing.
