HI,
I am looking at the GF Developer License with the PayPal add on. But first want to verify that a donor to an organization would be able to enter multiple variable designated donation amounts on a single form, with the total auto-calculated and sent to PayPal.
Thanks,
Jean
PS - I've asked a similar pre-sales question before, have registered and am logged in, but am unable to view the response because I haven't purchased GF??!
@jeant If you are unable to view the response then you must have posted it to the wrong forum by accident. so you may not have posted it in the Pre-Sale forum. I answered your Contact Us request and am including the answer here also.
The Gravity Forms PayPal Add-On can do what you describe, however you would want to use a standard transaction and not a Donation transaction because when doing a donation transaction with PayPal it only supports 1 Donation field. When doing a standard payment transaction it supports as many Product Fields as you would like
So if you would like the donor to enter multiple donation amounts and calculate a total you would use the Product Field and not the Donation Field. There is a user defined price option on the Product Field so you can configure it so they enter the price. You can then add a Total Field to your form to display the Total.
you can use multiple Donation Fields on a single form and use the Donation PayPal transaction type. So yes, you can add multiple Donation Fields to your form and then add a Total Field which will show the total of all the Donation fields.
When it passes the information to PayPal, because PayPal only accepts one Donation line item, it will combine all of the Donation Fields into one line item. It will list each one of them in the name of that line item.
What you can'd do is mix Product and Option Fields with Donation Fields. The form either has to be for Donations or a standard Product transaction. So if you can't mix Donation fields and non-Donation Pricing Fields on the same form if you are integrating with PayPal.
