How to add Donation Button to your website

Embed Donation Button on Your Website

01

Create a Donation Button widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a Donation Button widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Donation Button and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Donation Button widget

When you're done creating the Donation Button widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Donation Button Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Donation Button widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Donation Button Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Donation Button widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Donation Button widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Donation Button widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Donation Button widget when you want to accept financial support for a cause, project, or content in the most straightforward way possible. The button launches a secure payment form through PayPal or Stripe, so donors can contribute without navigating a full store or complex page. You can place it on campaign pages, articles, event descriptions, or sidebars wherever your message is strongest. This is especially useful for nonprofits, creators, community initiatives, and open source projects. A clear, trustworthy donation entry point lowers hesitation and encourages spontaneous giving at the moment when visitors feel most connected to your mission.
