 3. Select Donations from the key features list that you can find in the right sidebar of the PayPal Website Payments Standard Option.
  4.When you get to the the Paypal Create a Payment Button screen, select Donations. It is usually already selected.
 5. Choose your currency.
 6. Select Donors enter their own contribution amount radio button if you don't want to have a set amount. 
 7. The Secure Merchant ID radio button must be selected to protect you e-mail from spammers.
 8. At step 2 you can save your button, so you can use it again when you need it.
 9. At step 3 you can allow the donors to leave a little comment among the donation.
10. Choose the No radio button for Customer's Shipping Address.
11. Click on Create the button.
12. Copy the donate button code that PayPal created for you.
