C5 developer needed for ecommerce modification : create donation amount

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi

For a charity I have the ecommerce addon installed on a 5.4.2.2 which enables people to pay donations for fixed amounts.
I need to have someone tweak in the ecommerce addon so that we can also accept any donation, ie the donor would enter themselves the amount they choose instead of selecting a specific amount already present in the system.
This is an urgent job and I have no one available to do it at the moment.

Thx

I believe that you can actually already do this. i.e. put any amount in for a product (no fixed price)

ThemeGuru, you are right, thanks for pointing this out. It's a bit cumbersome but here's the way to do it :

1. Create the "donation" product in admin dashboard.
2. Go to "Customer Choices"
3. Add new product option -> "Text - Product Price"
4. Input handle, name and default value. For example:

Handle: donation_amount
Name: Amount to donate
Default value: 10.00

5. Save the attribute and set the product price to 0 (or to any minimal amount you want).

A customer will be able to input the donation amount and pay for it.

Thanks to Denis Vlasovhttp://www.concrete5.org/profile/-/639/... for taking the time to explain via PM.

Which add on is being used for this?
Are you talking about donating via just paypal or CCs?
