Could anyone please let me know how to change the Paypal amount on our website? We would like to weave the Club Admin fees but haven't found an easy way to change that amount. I looked through the Forum but couldn't find a specific answer to this question, and I apologize I am not a web developer, I'm just the Treasurer. Any advice will be appreciated.

1) we always require your club number

2) please read the documentation, we really don't support paypal and the information maybe out of date.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do on our end other than provide suggestions.

Generally, how Paypal works for the web page integrations is that someone creates a PayPal account, they access the business features (as a non-profit), they tell PayPal what dollar amounts are desired, and PayPal creates some HTML code showing the dollar amounts that the end user inserts into their web page.

Because Paypal generates the HTML code, they know the dollar amounts on their end, and you cannot just change the HTML on your end... (That is what I presume to be a security measure that PayPal uses to prevent hacking.) Whoever set up your PayPal page will need to access the account that they used and they have to go into PayPal and change the dollar amounts there and request updated HTML code.

Thus, making changes to the dollar amounts is not as easy as you might think.
