Sponsor-Me Payments Help

Making a Donation

Making a donation is easy. Once you have added the application to your facebook account you should be able to click "Donate" on any campaign page and simply enter how much you wish to donate. You will then be transferred to PayPal who will handle the transfer.

Please note, that once a donation is made it cannot be refunded.

Accepting Donations

  • Sign Up To PayPal

  • Upgrade to Premier Account to Accept Credit/Debit Cards
