Frequently Asked Questions
Is this site free?
Yes, there are no fees at all for using this site. We do not charge for you to create a webpage, and we do not take a percentage of the donations that you get. We make money from the advertisements on the site.
How do I get the money that people donate to me?
When you create a page on our site, it will have a Paypal donation button built into it. You need to setup a free account at Paypal.com to accept these donations. Paypal will deposit the donations directly into your checking account at your existing bank. Paypal does not charge you any setup fees or monthly fees, and there are no transaction fees to accept payments from their 100 million members, as long as you are signed up for a "Personal Account". If you signup for a "Premier" or "Business" account, it will allow you to also accept all major credit cards for the donations, but Paypal charges a fee of approximately 3% of the money you receive. To use Paypal on your Donatepages.com page, we just need to know your Paypal account address, which is the same as the email address you used when you signed up for Paypal.
Is this site for US residents only?
