PayPal can link to a Donations page on our website. It requires access to HTML editor to insert some required script for making the link. ---

This can be accomplished with a custom HTML component. Create a new custom HTML component and paste your HTML snippet in there. Rename the component to something descriptive so you can keep track of it. ---

On the left is a component html and a + sign Click it and create one - then drag into an elements page Here’s the little tricky part up on the top right there a square with a half line through… Then a window opens in the bottom - that’s where you copy the html code ---

Does the first line of your answer refer to the menu panel on the left side of the elements window? I see a small + sign, but only in the “pages” view. This generates a new page but does not have features mentioned by your “tricky part” ---

Excellent help. I actually have a donate button with the inserted text from PayPal, as viewed in page preview. Is it possible to make “donate” button larger, or add text to the grid box in which I have this feature? ---

![]() What I hope to do is make the button larger, amd write text underneath: “Donations sent via this button go to PayPal page which records such payments and forwards them to the Perihelion bank account.” ---

PayPal offers all kinds of possibilities, one of which is just a URL. Design a button and text as you’d like in Elements. Grab the PayPal URL and use the Inspector to assign it as the link for the button.
