Overview

This guide will cover everything you need to know for donating to a goal. We will walk through the aspects such as signing up, making payments through PayPal and managing your goals and transactions.

Signup as a New User

The first step is to signup as a new user.

3. Enter your PayPal details and click Login.

4. The billing details such as address and the credit card number are shown. Click Agree and Continue. You are then redirected to a Thank you page as shown in the image below.  This is your billing agreement and it is now saved in the database. If you sign up for another goal, you need not enter the PayPal details and you will be directly redirected to the Thank You page.
