Adding a custom tab to your Facebook page is a great way to showcase special information. For example I just added a donation button “tab” to the Easter Seals Society of PEI facebook page.
I had already set up a Facebook App since this is required for using the Simple Facebook Connect WordPress plugin I have installed on the Easter Seals PEI website. This meant it was simply a matter of:
- going to the Facebook Developer app,
- selecting the Easter Seals PEI app I already created,
- and editing the Facebook Integration settings for this app as per these instructions from MyTechOpinion.com to
- name the Canvas Page – http://apps.facebook.com/eastersealspei/
- add the Canvas URL – http://eastersealspei.org
- choose a Canvas Type of IFrame
- enter a Page Tab Name of “Donate Now!”
- enter the URL of the page that contains the PayPal donate form (in this case I created a static HTML page called donate_form.html at the root of EasterSealsPEI.org)
