I agree with your assessment on the way to proceed. Thanks for your very quick response. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-add-variable-amount-for-donation-form#post-56422 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:38:06 +0000 Rob Harrell 56422@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Well the range of options using a Product Field as a Drop Down/Radio type will be your easiest way. Otherwise you'll most like have to write some custom validation to check that the total is below $100.00 unless you just use the description field to say No Donations can be accepted over $100 and hope people obey it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-add-variable-amount-for-donation-form#post-56416 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:23:43 +0000 konakiko 56416@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>My first preference would be for the donating party to leave whatever amount they choose up to and including $100. If that option is not possible, I was going to give a range of donation options ($25, $50,....) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-add-variable-amount-for-donation-form#post-56415 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:20:21 +0000 Rob Harrell 56415@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Are you looking to have set amounts pre-determined? As in $25, $50, $75, $100 or are you looking for a user to be able to enter any amount as long as it's under $100? ie $34.75 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-add-variable-amount-for-donation-form#post-56414 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:11:13 +0000 konakiko 56414@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I need a Paypal Donation Form for a Political Candidate which allows variable donation amount with a cap of $100.<br /> My initial plan was to just use the basic Paypal and the Donate button. The government regulation made the process more complex.</p> <p>Requirements</p> <ol> <li>Accept donations in varying amounts up to $100</li> <li>Federal &amp; State Requires collecting Employer/Occupation for political contributions</li> </ol> <p>This is my first outing with any Gravity Form Add-on, so excuse if I've missed something obvious.<br /> I successfully installed/activated/configured the add-on and created the Paypal and Donation form.</p> <p>I saw some references to a 'Donation' button. However also saw that this has been deprecated.<br /> The new solution did not seem forthcoming and I could not find any solution on how to enter donation amounts.</p> <p><strong>Question</strong><br /> How do accept a variable donation amount?</p> <p>I would like to be able to mimic the Paypal donation button of allowing the donater to choose the amount of donation.</p> <p>The pricing fields:product does not allow for variable amounts. Nor does it allow a range of values to choose (that I could see)</p> <p>I tried the Pricing Fields:Option with radio buttons. However the form requires a Pricing Fields:Product entry to save the form.</p> <p>From my perspective I need to be able to have the product field as an input field which can accept input from the user or the ability to put a choice of numbers (i.e. $5,$10,$25....)</p> <p>Any ideas on how to move this forward are greatly appreciated </p>
