Many artists and makers rely on donations to make ends meet and use PayPal’s “Donate” button to make collecting money from their fans as painless as possible. However, according to PayPal’s Terms of Service, the “Donate” button is only intended for fundraising. In their own words:
If you are not raising money for a cause, please choose another option. Nonprofits must verify their status to withdraw donations they receive. Users that are not verified nonprofits must demonstrate how their donations will be used, once they raise more than $10,000.
