Donations Form Block

Posted on September 1, 2020 by Kyle Smith

Accept credit and debit card payments for donations, tips, and other forms of contribution, with the Donations Form block.

This block uses Stripe as the payment gateway, ensuring secure and encrypted transactions.

Requirements

To use the Donations Form block, you will need the following:

The Donations Form Block is a part of the Jetpack Blocks suite and is activated by default on connected sites. It does not require a paid upgrade to use. See our Jetpack Blocks article to learn about the available blocks and how to activate them.

Jetpack Blocks require the Block Editor (also referred to as the Gutenberg editor). If you’ve installed the Classic Editor plugin, you have a few options:

  • Deactivate the Classic Editor: Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins in your WP Admin and deactivate the Classic Editor plugin.
  • Enable both editors: If you prefer flexibility, navigate to Settings → Writing in your WP Admin (not the menu under Jetpack settings). Set Allow users to switch editors to Yes. You will only see these options if you have the Classic Editor plugin installed and active.

Some custom themes or plugins may prevent you from using the Block Editor. In that case, please contact the support team for the plugin or theme for further assistance.

For more details, see Using Blocks and the Classic Editor.

Please be aware of the following:

  • If the person making a donation doesn’t have a WordPress.com account, they will be required to create one before proceeding.
  • The Stripe account processes the payments and sends receipts to supporters automatically.
  • For monthly and yearly recurring payments, the system bills subscribers at the end of their renewal period and transfers the funds to your Stripe account.
  • As a site owner, you can cancel the subscription at any time.
  • You can create multiple Donations Form blocks across your website.

Add the Block

You can add the Donations Form block by searching and/or selecting it from the Jetpack section of the block selector. Here are the steps you can follow:

  1. Navigate to your site’s Pages or Posts from the WP Admin.
  2. Edit the page or post where you want to add the Donations Form block. Or create a new post or page.
  3. Add a new block by clicking the (+) icon or type / to search for blocks.
  4. Type “donations” in the search box and select the Donations Form block.
  5. After adding the Donations Form block, you can set it to a One-Time donation, Recurring Monthly, or Yearly donation.

See Jetpack Blocks for more detailed instructions on adding blocks.

You will be prompted to connect your WordPress.com account to Stripe after adding the Donations Form block for the first time. Click Connect to proceed.

Manage Stripe

  • All the earnings through the Donations Form block will directly go into your Stripe account.
  • Stripe requires citizenship or company ownership in specific countries to accept payments (a list of countries is available in Stripe’s support center).
  • Supporters can pay with a credit card issued anywhere in the world.

Configure the Donations block

Once you have connected your Stripe account successfully, you can insert a pre-populated Donations Form block on your page or post. If you already added the block, you should see the pre-populated form on your page or post. This block is fully customizable, including:

  • Renewal interval: Set the frequency your supporters are billed (options for one-time, monthly, or yearly donations).
  • Price: Set suggested amounts, with defaults at $5.00, $15.00, and $100.00.
  • Currency: Select the payment currency.
  • Custom text: Provide additional information for your donors about the cause they are supporting. The title is set to “Make a one-time donation” by default. You can change that and also add more information to the default “Choose an amount” instruction.

Make sure to click “Publish” once you have finalized your customizations on the block to go live.

Accept custom donation amounts

By default, allowing supporters to specify their own donation amounts is activated for one-time, monthly, and yearly donations. If you prefer, you can turn off this feature from the Block Settings in the right sidebar.

Other block settings

In the block settings on the right sidebar, you can:

  • Choose the intervals for which you would like to accept donations.
  • View earnings via a “View donation earnings” link to your donor dashboard.
  • Add CSS classes for custom button styling.

Related fees

Please see our support article for information about associated transaction fees.

Post-donation management

Consider maintaining a strong relationship with your supporters by sending personal thank you emails, putting them on a mailing list, or sharing thank you videos. This practice aids in building your community and brand, while encouraging continuous support.

Sharing the URL of your Donations Form on various channels such as social media, email lists, friends, and family also helps to boost visibility, traffic, and potential donations.

Pay with PayPal

Posted on June 10, 2020 by stefmattana

Use the PayPal Payment Buttons block to securely collect payments or donations on your Jetpack site via PayPal.

This block replaces the older Pay with PayPal block, which is now deprecated. See the Legacy “Pay with PayPal” Block paragraph at the bottom of this page.

Requirements to use the PayPal payment button block

To use the PayPal Payment Buttons block, you’ll need the following:

  • A PayPal Business account connected to your bank account to receive payments.
  • A WordPress site with the Jetpack plugin installed and connected.
  • The Jetpack Blocks feature enabled in your WordPress editor.

Jetpack Blocks require the Block Editor (also referred to as the Gutenberg editor). If you’ve installed the Classic Editor plugin, you have a few options:

  • Deactivate the Classic Editor: Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins in your WP Admin and deactivate the Classic Editor plugin.
  • Enable both editors: If you prefer flexibility, navigate to Settings → Writing in your WP Admin (not the menu under Jetpack settings). Set Allow users to switch editors to Yes. You will only see these options if you have the Classic Editor plugin installed and active.

Some custom themes or plugins may prevent you from using the Block Editor. In that case, please contact the support team for the plugin or theme for further assistance.

For more details, see Using Blocks and the Classic Editor.

Add a Pay with PayPal block

You can add the PayPal Payment Buttons block directly to your post or page in the WordPress block editor, and then configure the button through your PayPal account.

Step 1: add the PayPal Payment Buttons block

  1. Go to your site’s Dashboard.
  2. Open the page or post where you’d like to add the payment button.
  3. Click the + Block Inserter icon and search for “PayPal.”
  4. Select PayPal Payment Buttons from the list.

You’ll see a placeholder block where you can later paste the button code generated by PayPal.

Step 2: create the PayPal button code

Next, you’ll create your PayPal button from your PayPal account:

  1. In the block, click “Sign up” or “Log in” to open PayPal’s Build your Payment Links and Buttons page.
    • Alternatively, go to your PayPal account → Pay & Get Paid → Create Payment Links and Buttons.
  2. Select Payment Buttons.
  3. Fill in your product or donation details (name, description, price, etc.).
  4. Click Build it to generate your button code.
  5. On the “Your buttons are ready” screen:
    • Choose Stacked Buttons or Single Button at the top.
    • Copy the HTML button code displayed on the right.
  6. Paste the copied code into the PayPal Payment Buttons block on your site.
    • For Stacked Buttons, paste both code sections into the two fields provided.
    • For Single Button, switch the block to “Single Button” mode and paste the single code section.

Taking payments with PayPal

When a visitor clicks your PayPal payment button, a new PayPal window opens to complete the checkout securely.

Visitors can pay using:

  • Their PayPal account (balance, linked credit card, or bank).
  • PayPal Credit, if available.
  • A credit or debit card, even without a PayPal account.

All payments are sent directly to the PayPal account used to create the button code.

Test a payment (optional)

If you want to test the checkout flow, you can use a PayPal Developer (Sandbox) account.

  1. Log in to your PayPal Developer Dashboard.
  2. Create sandbox business and personal accounts.
  3. Use the sandbox business account to create a test button and add its code to your site.
  4. Publish the post or page.
  5. Complete the checkout using your sandbox personal account.

Successful test payments appear in your sandbox business account.

Selling products and shipping

If you’re selling physical products, keep in mind:

  • The PayPal button does not automatically calculate tax or shipping costs. You should include these in your listed price.
  • PayPal will collect the shipping address and send it to you along with the payment confirmation.

If you need advanced e-commerce features such as shopping carts, tax calculation, or product management, consider using WooCommerce instead.

Collecting your funds

To ensure payments reach you correctly, please check the following are in place:

  • Your site’s Privacy settings must be set to Public.
  • Verify that PayPal supports online payments in your country.
  • Payments are deposited into the PayPal account linked to the email address you used in the button setup.

For each purchase:

  • PayPal sends a confirmation email to you and to the purchaser.
  • Jetpack will also send a purchase confirmation email and a monthly transaction report to the site owner’s account email.

If your PayPal email isn’t linked to an existing PayPal account, PayPal will email you instructions to claim your funds.

Understanding fees

PayPal applies a transaction fee to each payment.
Fees vary by payment type and location. See PayPal’s fee documentation for current rates.

Jetpack does not charge additional fees or take a percentage of your payments.

Legacy “Pay with PayPal” block

The older Pay with PayPal block is now deprecated and replaced by the PayPal Payment Buttons block.
Existing instances of the legacy block will continue to work, but we recommend switching to the new block for improved reliability, security, and compatibility.

Still need help?

Please contact support. We’re happy to advise.

Privacy Information

The Pay with PayPal block is deactivated by default, and unlocking it requires an upgrade to the Growth, Security or Complete plan. If you have access to this feature, there is no way to deactivate it entirely — but if you are not using the feature, its code will not run on your site.

To make the block work, we need to integrate with third-party cloud services (such as the PayPal API), send notification emails and summaries, and store tokens and API keys in a PCI-compliant manner.

Please note that payments are processed via PayPal, so we also recommend reviewing its privacy policy and documentation.

Jetpack Blocks

Posted on November 27, 2018 by stefmattana

Jetpack blocks offer solutions to help create content, integrate content from third-party services, monetize your site, and make your site more interactive and engaging.

About Jetpack Blocks

In 2018, WordPress 5.0 officially introduced the default block-based editor, also referred to as the Gutenberg editor. Blocks are the elements that make up a page or post: paragraphs, headings, quotes, images, videos, buttons, and more. Each item on a page is its own block, you can edit and move each one independently to create custom layouts.

Jetpack extends the default functionality of the WordPress block editor by giving you access to an array of additional blocks to build engaging pages and posts.

Blocks are incompatible with the WordPress Classic Editor, but if you’d like to explore the blocks option and maintain the familiarity of the Classic Editor, please refer to our suggestions in the section Using Blocks and the Classic Editor.

How to activate Jetpack Blocks on your site

Jetpack Blocks are activated by default. To activate or deactivate them, navigate to Jetpack → Settings → Writing in WP Admin, then scroll down to the Composing section and click on the toggle next to “Jetpack Blocks…”

How to add Jetpack Blocks to your site’s posts and pages

You can add a block by clicking on the + button, also called the Block Inserter, as explained in this guide. You’ll then recognize all the Jetpack blocks from the Jetpack green color, or you can locate them all under the Jetpack block category,

You can also search for a block by name using the search box or by typing a forward slash followed by the block name, e.g., /payments.

Some Jetpack blocks require certain Jetpack features to be enabled, and some require a Jetpack plan. See the list below for further details.

If Jetpack Blocks or a specific feature is not active, the associated block placeholder will be hidden from users without admin permissions. This includes blocks like Related Posts, Blog Stats, Top Posts, Ad, Contact Form, and VideoPress.

To use these blocks, an admin must first enable the related Jetpack feature. Once enabled, the blocks become available to other user roles like Authors and Editors.

If you don’t see a Jetpack block available in the block inserter, try logging in as an admin to check if the feature needs activation.

If you have trouble using Jetpack Blocks on your site, it may also be that your custom theme or another plugin’s editor is preventing you from doing so. In that case, please contact the respective plugin or theme author for further assistance.

How to disable individual Jetpack Blocks

You may want to have Jetpack Blocks on your site, but not want individual ones active. To disable individual Jetpack Blocks, you will need to do so via custom code, as we do not have a user interface for doing so. You can find guidance for disabling individual Jetpack Blocks in our developer documentation, and here as well.

Per our Scope of Support, we are not able to assist with custom code implementations beyond what is provided in our developer documentation.

Using Blocks and the Classic Editor

The WordPress Classic Editor does not support blocks. However, there are workarounds to be able to leverage both the familiarity of the Classic Editor and the power of WordPress blocks:

Use the Classic block. If you have the Classic Editor plugin installed, you will first need to deactivate it, under Plugins → Installed Plugins in your WP Admin. With the Classic Editor disabled, you’ll have access to the default WordPress Block editor which includes the Classic block. The Classic block looks the Classic Editor, with the Custom TinyMCE buttons toolbar in the block.

Enable the Block Editor in the Classic Editor plugin. The Classic Editor plugin gives you the option to enable the Block editor, therefore giving you access to both editors, you can turn it on under Settings → Writing in your WP Admin dashboard. You can select the Block editor as the Default editor for all users, then for the option Allow users to switch editors, select Yes.
