    Hello! I gonna release a free asset pack today, and I wonder how does it work with Donation link?

    Can I link my PayPal website on the Asset Store description?

    From the corresponding section of the agreement (4.9.1.1) it only seems to require that the actual donation system be on a seperate website. A quick search turned up multiple examples where people had the required phrase "donations accepted" be an actual link to the appropriate page (eg Patreon). I'll link a few below the agreement link.

    Actually, it is ambiguous. As far as I can tell what is forbidden is asset presenting "Please donate!" window when it is installed into a project.

    It looks like it may be acceptable to link to your own website, add "donations accepted" to the description and have donation button on your own website.

    It may be necessary to poke support for details. Or one of the community managers.

    Yeah I realized that and modified my post and gave some examples of how people were linking to their donation pages.

    Thanks for all great answer. Then maybe I just link my own website and add donation there.
