## Receiving donations through PayPal

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is currently in **Beta** test, read more about it below.
{% endhint %}

### The Beta test

We're currently testing this feature with the help of selected Host collectives.

If you're interested in testing this feature, please reach out through [email protected]. If you're already testing the feature and wish to leave the test, you can also send an email to support.

### Fees

#### What are the fees involved?

There are the payment processor fees charged by PayPal and if you're subjected to, the platform fees charged by Open Collective.

The payment processor fees will be automatically deducted from the original charge but as of now, the platform fees can not be automatically deducted. For the current beta, this debt will be settled once a month through an invoice we'll send you.

### Connecting PayPal

If you're already in the beta test group, you can follow these instructions:

1. [ ] Create a new PayPal app

* Open [PayPal's Developer](https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/) page and Log In.
* In _My Apps & Credentials_ page, select the **Live** environment, and click in _Create app_.
