Adding PayPal Donation Button? Thread

I can't seem to add a PayPal donation button to my indie game's description - whenever I enter the code, it just disappears after saving. How would I go about doing it?

But the code is in HTML? It shouldn't simply dissapear anyways.

Yes the code is in HTML. But even just putting the link there makes it disappear. If I just write the link (without clicking the button to create a link), then it gets cut off at "&hosted;_butt" (the full link has "&hosted;_butt and then the id of the button).

Did you get any error messages?

Some html gets stripped, can you paste the html code your trying to use.

I didn't get any error messages, no.

This is the HTML code I tried to paste:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="QHFNEVQZH7W9Y">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

And when that failed I tried simply pasting the link:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=QHFNEVQZH7W9Y

...but it gets cut off.

I tried pasting this code as well:

<p><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=QHFNEVQZH7W9Y"><img src="https://media.indiedb.com/images/games/1/17/16973/auto/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" alt="" /></a>

... but likewise it didn't work.

Hmm I'm sorry but I don't know where the problem is. When there's no error message or something else only TKAzA can know. Just wait till he has got an answer.

I updated your page with a paypal link. this worked fine.

Thanks very much! I wonder why it didn't work for me... hopefully everything will work fine when I have to update the description.

And thanks to everyone for your help!
