PayPal Adds Charitable Giving Button in Its App

PayPal is rolling out an update to its mobile application, which it hopes will put charitable giving in the forefront of customers’ minds. With a new button that appears at the bottom of the home screen of its app—below options to order ahead or pay in-store—PayPal users can support favorite causes through an in-app donation.

The button connects users to the tens of thousands of PayPal Giving Fund-certified charities, and is the first time that PayPal has made it possible to donate directly through its mobile app, the company said.
