Heads Up:
PayPal has a Donate button system, which I enabled for a little while, but after I received, from memory, about $100 in donations they stopped money flowing and demanded that I prove my charity status, which I didn't have and couldn't get since I'm not.
After about three weeks of back and forth they suddenly decided to turn it back on. With that experience I disabled the button and have been looking for a solution ever since.
I also tried Stripe and got nowhere.

@vk6flab@mastodon.radio @rev_mook@lsngl.us I did set up a Paypal button, but did not list it as a charity (since we do not have that status). The difference is that they charge lower fees for 501(c)(3)s. Fingers crossed we don't have the same issue ourselves. BTW,. it took about two minutes to set Paypal up, plus another 5 to edit our website. Stripe needs to figure it out.
