how to cover Admin Fees? « Gravity Support Forums

I am designing a donation form for a non-profit and I would like to add a field that would allow donors the chance to increase their giving by a % to cover the PayPal fees. I've seen this done on other sites, but I don't know if they use Gravity Forms.

What I would like is a form up so that the donor can say, "Yes/No I will increase my gift by 2.9% to cover the processing fees", and then that amount be calculated and added to their donation.

Is this possible? Can someone explain how to do this?

THANKS!

FYI: I have the PayPal plugin installed with Gravity Forms.

Is there any advice on this option?

Check out Carl's response on here regarding this, and it should help:

Instead of shipping, think Donation.

THANK YOU David! That is exactly what I was looking for.

One additional question: I have my form at http://www.roomforgraceintl.org/become-a-child-sponsor/

As you will see I have it configured with pre-set donation amounts, and then a field for OTHER where they can set their own quantity.

In the calculation to cover the admin fees I created this formula: ( {Monthly Sponsorship:5}*.029 ) +.31 but it won't capture the "other field". Is there a smarter way to do this?

In your radio buttons, there is a checkbox called "Enable "other" choice". Try that instead of how you have it set currently, and see if that works as you expect.
