✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Go to the Website Editor and click on Setup > Website.

Step 2: Click on Edit Website.

Step 3: Find a text box near where you'd like to add a button. Then, hover your mouse over that text box, but don't click. Instead, use the teal plus sign from the pop-up menu above to add content above. Click on the "Button"

Step 4: A button will appear. If you prefer that the button be below your text, you can move it down if you hover your mouse over the button and use the down arrow from the pop-up menu.

Step 5: To edit the button, hover over the button and click Edit. A menu on the left will appear, where you can edit the Button Settings.

You can edit the Button Text, Link where the button goes to and the Button Style - alignment, color, shape and border.

In the Button Text, type something like: Donate Now

In the Link/URL field, paste the full URL of your donation page (e.g., your PayPal.me or GoFundMe link)

Step 6: Click “Save and Update”

Step 7: To save changes, click Save Website > Save and Continue Editing


💡 Tip: You can also style the button with colors or fonts that match your event branding — just click the Design tab in the Button or Section settings.
