Friday Archive Dive: Offering Free Wallpaper for a Donation

Today's Archive Dive take us to Oct. 28, 2009, when I showed how to use Paypal's redirect to reward your readers with a free desktop wallpaper when they donate money to your webcomic.

If you use PayPal to collect money on your site, you can easily offer free desktop wallpaper to someone who buys merchandise or makes a donation.

Default Giveaway

I have created a default checkout page that PayPal redirects to once a sale or donation has been successfully transmitted. This page is hosted on my site and features links to the different sizes of the wallpaper being offered.

This can easily be set up in your Account profile. Once you've logged into Paypal:

  • Click on My Account
  • Click on Profile
  • Click on Website Payment Preferences
