To begin collecting online campaign donations (payments) from your Destiny Fundraising Manager campaigns, you must first "link" your PayPal account to your DFM account.
After the two accounts are successfully linked, all inbound donations that come from published campaigns will immediately be collected in your PayPal account.
To link your Destiny Fundraising Manager account to your PayPal account, follow the steps:
STEP 1: Log in to your Destiny Fundraising Manager account. Go to Settings > Manage PayPal Settings, and click the blue "Connect with PayPal" button.
STEP 2: On the PayPal "Get started" screen, enter the email address that is associated with your PayPal account (your PayPal account username).
STEP 2: A PayPal login pop-up appears. Again, enter your PayPal account username and Password in the entry fields. Click the "Log In" button.
STEP 3: A PayPal pop-up now appears confirming that you have successfully authorised DFM to "link"/work with your PayPal account. Note: This message could be displayed as being successfully authorised with "Edbacker," "Snowflake Technologies", or "Destiny Fundraising Manager". ALL OPTIONS ARE CORRECT. Click the "Go back to Edbacker Inc" button.
NOW THAT YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY AUTHORISED
DFM TO BE "LINKED" AND WORK WITH YOUR PAYPAL
ACCOUNT, YOU MUST LOG BACK IN TO YOUR PAYPAL
ACCOUNT NOW TO FINALISE FEE AUTHORISATION.
STEP 4: You are routed back to the PayPal account login. Enter your PayPal account credentials again and click the "Log In" button.
STEP 5: You are routed to a screen that lists all debit/credit card accounts that are linked to your PayPal account. Selecting and verifying a linked debit/credit card during this step is required by PayPal as a security measure to verify your account within the PayPal system.
Select the appropriate account and click the "Continue" button.
STEP 6: An authorisation screen appears confirming the bank account linked to your DFM account. Click "Agree & Continue."
STEP 7: You are routed back to your DFM account, where you now see a message indicating that you have "connected your PayPal account and can now receive donations." Your PayPal Merchant ID (which is your PayPal "Account Number") is also displayed.
You can now receive donations from your Destiny Fundraising Manager campaigns!
