: How do I generate a PayPal payment/donation page without using the PayPal button? I want to ask people to donate to my website. Right now, I have a big, friendly "Donate via PayPal" button

On your mywebsite.com/donate page, you will need to construct a form and then automatically submit it using JavaScript. A basic example:

<form id="my_form" action="http://paypal.com" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="Example">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="test@test.com">
<input type="hidden" name="etc" value="etc, etc">
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
//Our form submission function.
function submitForm() {
document.getElementById('my_form').submit();
}
//Call the function submitForm() as soon as the page has loaded.
window.onload = submitForm;
</script>


Obviously, you will need to provide the form variables that PayPal requires.
