Before you start

• A PayPal account. Personal or business — donations are paid into it directly.
• A published Wix site. PayPal redirects are known to fail on free wixsites.com subdomains, so use a paid plan with a custom domain. Details are in our guide to accepting donations on Wix.
• No nonprofit status needed. Because payments run through your own PayPal account, individuals and informal groups can fundraise too — here is why.
