Case Study: Donation Form
The following is a case study for creating a simple donation page hosted on your website that connects to Newtek Gateway for secure processing. This is a great starting off point for religious donations, non-profit organizations, or any merchant accepting a variable dollar amount from the client through a payment form.
Below you can download the necessary source code files. Edit the HTML source code with your favorite editor (Notepad, TextEdit, Dreamweaver) to input your source key and edit any of the templated text already there for you. Save the files in the original format. These files will need to be uploaded via a service such as FTP, or something similar, to your website.
Once you've uploaded the files you can access them through the browser. Clicking on the button submits the form to Newtek Gateway and brings the customer to the secure payment area on Newtek Gateway's servers. The customer completes the payment process by entering their payment information.
