Good luck, let me know if you have more questions

We recently set up a Donation button on MOE's website to accept Paypal. We registered as a nonprofit corporation (which we are) and only had to submit our EIN with assorted paperwork.

Before we got authorized as a nonprofit by Paypal, the amount they took was 2.9% + 30 cents/transaction. After getting authorized as a nonprofit, that dropped to 2.2% + 30 cents.

You may want to check on that 5% cut they are taking.
