Accepting Tips or Donations
The situation
You want people to support you without a cart, an invoice, or anyone creating an account.
Offer a few set amounts
A button charges one fixed amount, the one you set on it in your dashboard. There is no way for a supporter to type their own number.
That turns out to suit tipping well. Most people would rather pick from a few options than decide on a figure themselves.
To offer three amounts, create three separate buttons:
- In Checkout Buttons, create one button per amount. Three is usually plenty.
- Give each a clear label so you can tell them apart in your dashboard later.
- Paste all three onto your page. They share one
<script>line.
<script src="https://bryktopay.com/static/js/checkout.js" defer></script>
<button class="brykto-checkout-button" data-button-id="bky_btn_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa">Tip $3</button>
<button class="brykto-checkout-button" data-button-id="bky_btn_bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb">Tip $5</button>
<button class="brykto-checkout-button" data-button-id="bky_btn_cccccccccccccccc">Tip $10</button>
Each data-button-id is a different button with its own price. The text on the button is just a label, so keep it matching the amount you actually set.
Send them somewhere nice afterwards
Set the same Success URL on all three so every supporter lands on a page that thanks them properly.
If you cannot paste HTML
Some profile pages do not allow HTML at all. A payment link is a poor substitute here, because it closes after one payment.
The way round it is a small page of your own with the buttons on it, and a link to that page from your profile.
What supporters see
Your business name and the description you set on the button. Keep the description warm. It is the last thing they read before deciding.
