Donation button/link in a free app

Good day all,

I've recently developed an app that will be submitted soon to the App Store. I want to submit this app for free and was wondering if I could implement a button with the PayPal donation logo where it basically says "Donate for developing" or something related to that. I've seen many posts going around donations and apps. What I haven't found exactly is if I am allowed to have a donation button that will take the user to a PayPal link in Safari where they can make a donation for my development.

Am I allowed to do it? Will Apple reject my app because of this? Do you have any experience regarding this situation?

Thanks a lot for your help!

How do I make a donation button?

Step 1: Go to your nonprofit's Facebook Page (must be Page Admin). Step 2: Select + Add a button from your Page header, or if you already have a CTA button hover over it and click Edit. Step 3: Select Donate through Facebook* to let people donate directly through Facebook (you'll need to sign up for Facebook Payments).

What is a donation URL?

A donation link is just the URL or website address of your donation page, and the process for creating that link depends on your donation software. Donorbox makes that process easy.

Apple will likely reject apps with a donate button taking you to PayPal.

You could implement in-app purchase to remove ads or something. That takes you to Apple's App store, which Apple does allow. And I am not sure whether an app actually needs to display ads in order to have an in-app purchase button to remove ads.

Or put a donate button on your web site, not on the app.
