You can only select one category, but you must choose a category to include the donate button. Secondly, you need to select the main action you want to take with this button. Choose &#8220;Donate&#8221; for this action. This will allow people to give money to your page. Now, you can place a donate button on your video or on your Fitbit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_add_a_donate_button_to_your_Facebook_page\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t add a donate button to your Facebook page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a nonprofit that wants to raise money online, you might be wondering: &#8220;Don&#8217;t add a donate button to your page!&#8221; After all, most people engage with pages in the feed, so they&#8217;re unlikely to be drawn to your page specifically to donate. In order to get your nonprofit&#8217;s name and email address in front of donors, you must ask them to donate via a post, website, or email. And most nonprofits would prefer to send donors to their website, where they can enter their contact information.<\/p>\n<p>To add a donate button to your Facebook page, start by choosing the category your page falls into. This will ensure that your donor list is more relevant to your cause. Also, choose a call to action button that clearly shows what you want people to do &#8211; in this case, &#8220;Donate.&#8221; This will send people to a website where they can make a tax-deductible donation. Don&#8217;t forget to include a description of your organization, so that people know what they are donating to.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Issues_with_adding_a_donate_button\"><\/span>Issues with adding a donate button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you want to add a donate button to your Facebook page, you&#8217;ll need to be an admin of the page. You&#8217;ll need to select the tag &#8220;Nonprofit Organization&#8221; in the &#8220;General&#8221; tab. This tag will help Facebook narrow down the number of buttons available for your page. Once you have the tag, click &#8220;+ Add a Button.&#8221; You&#8217;ll see a drop-down menu that looks like the picture below. Select &#8220;+ Add a Button&#8221; located on the bottom-right of your cover photo.<\/p>\n<p>Adding an external donation button can cause friction with your donors. They may abandon the process if they aren&#8217;t sure if they&#8217;re donating to the right place. However, Facebook&#8217;s updated Donate Now button uses an on-platform donation flow and connects directly to your bank. It&#8217;s important to note that only nonprofits that are approved to use Facebook Fundraising Tools can add this button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_donate_button_to_a_video\"><\/span>Adding a donate button to a video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a donate button to a Facebook video is a great way to increase your donations, especially if the video is live. This new feature lets nonprofits incorporate the Fundraisers program, which allows users to add a donate button to Live video events and posts. Live video will be taken away from the Likes and Heart Reactions feature that Facebook previously gave to non-profits.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to add a donate button to your video, you can do so through the Facebook website. The process is quite simple. First, create a new video and add a donate button at the bottom of it. Make sure that it is visible when you view it. Once visitors click on the button, they&#8217;ll be directed to the link you specified in Step 5.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_donate_button_to_a_Fitbit\"><\/span>Adding a donate button to a Fitbit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a donate button to a fitness tracker is easy. You simply connect your Fitbit account to your GoFundraise account. Afterward, you can select the amount you want to donate and press the donate button. You can connect your Fitbit account to a charity or campaign of your choice. You can also select the charity or campaign by using the number of steps you take each day.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the design of the donate button, it must be eye-catching. Choose colors that stand out from the background, so users can easily find it. Make sure to match the colors of your website, marketing materials, and logo. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll have a difficult time drawing people&#8217;s attention to your button. You may also want to use a button with a unique color to stand out amongst others.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_donate_button_to_a_Doctors_Without_Borders_page\"><\/span>Adding a donate button to a Doctors Without Borders page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to add a donate button to your Facebook page, you have a couple of options. First, you need to be a Page admin. Then, go to your page&#8217;s header and select + Add button. Next, hover over the CTA button and select Donate through Facebook. When the donation form appears, sign in with Facebook Payments or select a different method, and click Finish.<\/p>\n<p>Donate buttons allow nonprofits to process donations through their pages without paying a cent in processing fees. Once set up, the Donate button stays in a post that is shared by a Facebook user. Most Facebook users engage with their newsfeed and rarely donate from their personal profiles. Adding a Donate button to your page will provide you with an efficient method of collecting donations while leveraging the power of Facebook&#8217;s sharing tools.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a0n4xU5wlVs\" width=\"371\" height=\"207\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add a Donate Button to Your Facebook Page First, you need to choose a category for your page.
