For example, if you\u2019re just <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-start-an-online-store\/\">starting your online store<\/a>, <strong>you might need to use a bit of support from your potential customers<\/strong>. So, you might as well invite them to <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/best-tip-jar-wordpress-plugins\/\">leave a tip<\/a> to help get your eCommerce business off the ground. Alternatively, you might also want to <strong>use your business for a good cause and throw a fundraiser<\/strong> to help specific people or groups in need.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Say that you are running an online pet shop and you want to raise money to help a local animal shelter. Or, you might be selling clothes with eco-friendly materials and also want to raise some money to help support a local ecology project. Either way, whatever your specific motivation or cause, using your website to ask for donations is one of the most direct and efficient ways to go about it.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]While there are different ways to accept donations on your eCommerce site, probably the most straightforward method is to <strong>add a \u201cdonate\u201d button<\/strong>. You can place this button anywhere you want on your site. For example, you can place it on your product pages and get people to donate when browsing through or buying a specific product. You can also add this button to your cart and\/or checkout pages so that customers can quickly donate as they are completing their purchases.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]With that said, let\u2019s see how you can set up donations on your WooCommerce site and add donate buttons using the help of two different plugins. <strong>The first plugin will allow you to insert a simple donation button<\/strong> which you can then customize further to fit your specific needs. On the other hand, the second plugin will allow you to insert a PayPal donate button to accept your donations.
