How to Add a Donate Button to a MailChimp Email Campaign

When you send emails out to potential donors, you want to make it as easy as possible for them to donate. Donate buttons are a great way to do that.

When the donor opens the email, they will have a donate button within the email to direct them immediately to your donation page. It's convenient, and donors appreciate that.

Here's how to add a donate button to a MailChimp campaign:

Step 1

Log into your Donorbox dashboard and "Campaigns" at the top menu. Then go ahead and click the embed code icon (</>) to show the options, as shown:

Step 2

Step 3

Go to MailChimp and open your draft campaign's content section. On the left side of the screen, you will see a selection of content blocks that can be added to the draft. Click and drag the "Code" icon. Drop it wherever you want it to appear in the email.

Step 4

Paste the code from Step 3 into the code block that will open on the screen's right side.

You will see the button appear on the left within the email layout as you paste it.

Step 5

Click "Save and Close" when you're done. Now you can preview the email and see your donate button.
