Set up donation goals with Square Payment Links
About accepting donations with payment links
With Square Payment Links, you can contact your most loyal patrons to accept donations and help you meet your organisation’s financial goals.
Before you begin
There are no monthly fees to use Square Payment Links – just an online payment processing fee whenever you collect a donation. Understand Square’s payment fees for more details.
When you create a donation payment link, you can add a donation goal and a deadline or timeframe for that goal to drive urgency (for example, in order to have the donation matched).
Donation payment links allow anyone to send donations for any cause of up to €4,000.
Create a donation link
Sign in to your Square Dashboard and click Payments > Payment Links.
Click Create link.
Choose Accept a donation and click Continue.
Enter a title for your donation link that will be displayed to the customer, a frequency, and an optional description.
Add an optional image by selecting Upload image.
Toggle Set donation goal on, and enter the goal amount and deadline.
Click Save to start sharing your link.
Any prior donations made toward your donation goal will be automatically visible to new donors on your payment link. After donating, donors can share their link via Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) so you can maximise your reach. You can add donation goals and deadlines to existing links at any time.
