<\/a><\/p>\nStrange this was working before, it’s all plug-in driven. No settings changed, no plugins updated or api changes I’m aware of. So, I went to Google to see what I could find, funny how it’s always reddit to have info, other with the same results… such this guy, who at the time of this writing responded 12 hours ago to a comment asking if they resolved it, with a sad no<\/a>. There’s also this one, with a response to simple “check your PayPal account settings”<\/a>.<\/p>\n This lead me down an angry rabbit hole, so when you login you figure the donation button on the right side would be it:<\/p>\n Think again this simply leads to https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/fundraiser\/hub\/<\/p>\n This simply leads to a marketing page about giving donations to other charities, not about managing your own incoming donation. I did eventually find the URL needed to manage them: https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/buttons\/manage<\/p>\n However navigating to it when already logged made the browser just hang in place, eventually erroring out, I asked support via messaging but it was a an automod with auto responses and that didn’t help.<\/p>\n I found one other read post with the following response<\/a>:<\/p>\n “It\u2019s because you don\u2019t have a charity business account and you didn\u2019t get pre-approval from PayPal to accept donations. It\u2019s in the AUP<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Everything else if you google simple links to this: Accepting Donations | Donate Button | PayPal CA<\/a><\/p>\n Clicked get started… and<\/p>\n and then….<\/p>\n Oh c’mon…. This pro’s n cons, and ifs and buts are out of scope of this blog post. I picked Upgrade since I’m hoping to use it just for personal donations and nothing else is tied to this account right now, it says its free but I dunno…<\/p>\n Provide a business name, unno ZewwyCA (not sure if it supposed to be reg, I picked personal donations via the link above, so why is it pushing this on me…)<\/p>\n I can’t pick web hosting…. you can’t even read the whole line options under purpose of accounts… redic, sales? none, it costs me money to run this site.<\/p>\n After all this the dashboard changed a bit and there was something about accepting donations on the bottom right:<\/p>\n I tried my button again but same error of org not accepting donations… mhmm.<\/p>\n Let me check paypal… ughhh signed me out due to time out… log in… c’mon already….<\/p>\n This is brutal…. It basically “verified my residential details”… and it seemed to have removed my banking info… and even though some history still shows…<\/p>\n Clicking on the “view all” gives me nothing on the linked page…<\/p>\n Also, notice the warning about account holder verification… cool…<\/p>\n this sucks… number that just show you the last 2 digits, asking for occupation… jeez… then<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
