As a Squarespace user, you may be looking for a way to enable donations on your site. Luckily, Squarespace makes it easy to add a donation button to your site.

You can add a donation button to your site through the Buttons Block.

To add a donation button to your Squarespace site:

  1. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Home Menu.
  2. Click the Pages icon.
  3. Hover over the page where you want to add the button and click the Edit icon.
  4. Click the Add Block icon (+) and select Buttons from the list.
  5. In the Button Type drop-down, select Donation.
  6. Enter the text you want to display on the button.
  7. Select a preset donation amount or enter a custom amount.
  8. Click Apply.

Your donation button will now appear on your site. When clicked, donors will be taken to a page where they can enter their payment information.

PRO TIP: Use caution when following the advice in the article “How Do I Enable Donations on Squarespace?” as it may result in unexpected charges. The author suggests adding a donation button to your Squarespace website, but does not mention that doing so will result in a 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee for each donation. Be sure to take this into account when setting up your donation page, or you may end up losing money.

Note: If you’re using Squarespace Commerce, you can also set up donations as part of your checkout flow.

Squarespace makes it easy for users to add a donation button to their website with just a few clicks. By following the steps above, you can have a working donation button on your Squarespace site in no time!
