Blink Wallet’s New Bitcoin Donation Button: Seamless Giving for the Web

A Step-by-Step Guide to Accepting Bitcoin Donations on Your Website Using Blink’s Seamless New Tool

‍

This article introduces the new Blink Donation Button, a simple tool that lets anyone accept Bitcoin donations on their website. With easy setup, global support, and direct integration with the Blink Wallet, it’s perfect for creators, nonprofits, and projects seeking borderless support.

‍

In a world where traditional donation systems are slow, expensive, and often restricted by borders or red tape, Bitcoin offers a powerful alternative—but many people still find it too complex to accept. That’s where the new Blink Donation Button comes in.

‍

Blink, the everyday Bitcoin wallet, has launched a simple, customizable donation button that lets individuals, creators, and organizations receive support directly through their websites. Designed for simplicity, flexibility, and global reach, it enables anyone to accept Bitcoin, and other currencies with just a few clicks.

Whether you're a grassroots initiative, an open-source developer, an educator in an underserved region, or a content creator seeking global support, receiving donations should be easy—not technical, costly, or delayed. With Blink, it’s effortless: just copy, paste, and start receiving sats.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of integrating the Blink donation button directly into your website. Let’s get started!

‍

What Makes the Blink Donation Button Stand Out?

‍

• Quick Setup: No technical expertise required. The process is intuitive and can be completed in under a minute.
  
  
• Customizable Appearance: Choose between light and dark themes to match your website’s style.
  
  
• Stablesats Support: Blink Wallet supports both Bitcoin (sats) and Stablesats (USD). By default, donations are received in Bitcoin, but if your default account is set to USD (Stablesats), the funds will go there instead. All donations go directly to the recipient's default account—either in Bitcoin or USD, depending on their settings.
  
  
• Multilingual Widget: The button supports a wide range of languages, making it accessible to a global audience.
  
  
• Direct Delivery: Donations go straight to your Blink wallet, ensuring fast and secure access to your funds1.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Add the Blink Donation Button to Your Website

Important: To generate your donation button, you’ll need a Blink Lightning Address (username). If you don’t have one yet, download the Blink Wallet and create your account, it only takes a minute.

Join a growing community of individuals and organizations accepting borderless Bitcoin donations with ease.

‍

How to Create a Blink Lightning Address

1. Open the Blink Wallet.
2. Tap the menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Go to “Ways to Get Paid.”
4. Enter your desired username in the blank field.
5. Tap “Set Username.”
6. Done!

If you haven’t created your Blink username yet, now’s the perfect time. If you already have one, let’s move on to the next step.

‍

1. Visit the Blink Donation Button Generator

Go to donation-button.blink.sv to start the setup process.

‍

2. Enter Your Blink Username

‍

Input your Blink wallet username without the @blink.sv. This ensures that all donations are routed directly to your account.

‍

3. Customize Your Button

‍

• Theme: Select Choose between Light Mode or Dark Mode to match your website’s design.
  
  
• Supported Currencies: Display fiat currencies alongside Bitcoin by entering them in the format: USD, EUR, NGN, etc.
  
  
• Language: Choose the widget’s display language from a comprehensive list, including English, Spanish, French, German, and many more.

‍

4. Copy the Generated Code

After customizing your widget, Blink will generate a snippet of HTML and JavaScript code, something like this:

‍

You’ll also see your Blink username displayed. Double-check that it’s correct, as this is where your donations will be sent. Even a small typo can prevent funds from reaching you.

Taking a moment to verify now can save you from potential issues later.

‍

5. Embed the Code on Your Website

‍

Paste the code into your website’s HTML where you want the donation button to appear. The widget will display instantly, allowing visitors to contribute in their preferred currency and language1.
