Receiving Donations via Paypal
Donations made via Paypal are directly deposited into the recipient's Paypal account. The recipient can at any time transfer the money from their Paypal account to their bank account.

Both the recipient and the donator will receive an email notification from Paypal about the donation. The notification is a receipt of the transaction.

Receiving Donations via a ChipIn Campaign
You have the option to display a ChipIn Campaign Widget within your profile. The advantage of a ChipIn Campaign is that a running total of contributions made to you is displayed within the Campaign Widget itself.

If you do not have a ChipIn Campaign Widget, you can easily create one at ChipIn.com. Note, in order to create a ChipIn Campaign, you will need to have a Paypal account.

Use the following links to get a FREE Paypal or ChipIn account.
