Unfortunately, that is not possible within the payment processor fields. You cannot pass value inside the payment field into the outside like a calculation field.
However, you can do this outside the payment field. You can have a "Sub-total" field and then a hidden calculation field that deducts 70% then send its value to the "Total" field. After that, you can pass the value of the "Total" field to the Total inside payment field.

Hi,that is difficult to do that way, because my all product are selected in the wizard and collect total.Is it so difficult to integrate in the PayPal wizard, just to add button where are based the Coupons, taxes and shipping. Thanks

How about if you use the Shipping Cost as the means to discount the total payment.
Example:
#1 Use the Shipping Cost to assign discounted amount (i.e. 30% only of item price)
#2 You can customize the text to of Shipping Cost and also hide the Total Payment and replace it with the Discounted Amount
here is a test form https://form.jotform.com/60442338663961
Let us know if this can work for you or not...

Hi, that not working for me, because have subtotal and VAT TAX after. Then show as up your additional 30 and the product became more expensive on total.
Example :
product cost OR subtotal: 100$ without VAT
20%VAT TAX: 20$ =>120$
your proposal to prepay 30$
Total show 150$ should be 90$
When you submit going to pay on PayPal page and show amount due 150$, the idea is to pay only 30% in front and rest on meeting!!!
my wish is:
product cost OR subtotal: 100$ without VAT
20%VAT TAX: 20$
your proposal to prepay 30$
Total to due 90$

If you just add a button to do that in the paypal wizard, then will help me a lot and I will use only one form for each different product. Now I use two languages for one product and tree forms for one language, total of 6 forms, I have 33 products, need to do 198 forms. If you do a button where are based tax, shipping and coupons, I will use only one form for each languages and will be 2 forms, that became only 66 forms in total.

Unfortunately there is no way to apply 30% discounts without actually using Coupon codes. So we would usually recommend using Coupons to achieve what you are after.
However, there may be a workaround you could use if you are interested. You could specify the full price directly in the name of the product, such as:
New Product 1 $100
New Product 2 $200Then, you would set the actual price of the products to already be discounted and only 30% of the price listed in the product's name.
We can also use custom CSS to hide the actual price, so users only see the price $100 and $200, which is actually a part of the product name:
.form-product-details { display: none; }
We can also use custom text to display text such as "Upfront payment:" instead of "Total:", by using CSS such as this:
#total-text { font-size: 0; } #total-text:before { font-size: 14px; content: "Upfront payment:"; }
All of these combined would make a form as in the following demo:
https://form.jotform.com/60505349101950
It seemingly displays the full product price to end users, shows them the actual total they will be paying up front, and on PayPal they are charged only that value:
Please try it out and let us know if it is something that could work to your satisfaction.

Thanks, but that not working for me also!

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, we don't have any other workaround for this. Our payment processor created the Coupon code function in order to provide discount function in the form.
Thank you for understanding.

You can do calculation (adding discounts) to Payments using Custom Payment form. You will need to use Form Calculation widget to pass the custom calculation to the Payment process.
user guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-pass-a-calculation-to-a-payment-field
Example, in your cae, you can create multiple products using regular fields (outside the Paypal wizard). Then just use custom calculation to add discount (%) that can be passed on to the Payment processor (paypal) upon submission.
Let us know if this is not clear.

it is clear, but before you answer please can you check my form.

What you said is to broke good form, because it is not possible to work out with something easy in wizard. Some time ago there was no Enable Auto Fill in the wizard, now there is one in all payment tools. The idea is just to be add where the shipping section of wizard is button as those. you can name it Pay % of Total, then when you open it just to add any % in the field that you want to pay the new customers. The coupons are for customer witch you know and already used service or buy products.
Shipping Cost
Weight ValueYour example form is very simple, my is difficult to be done that way!
I have 10 products, every one product has 30 different prices, there is check boxes, drop downs and pictures. All that is integrated in wizard and look nice and good. If I try your style will be very bad and large form. That is why it is not clear for me. Thanks
Every time when I try to do something the form come out bad, now the Pick-up Location that not listed above, name and mobile number fields are bigger from above one. Also the upload file field is bigger then should be. That became a big waste of time, sorry but that is the true.

I'm sorry, you have a good idea of creating partial payments. However, Paypal, for example, does not support this method.
The workaround to use the calculation widget is the best way to offer partial payments in the form. As for the styling, you shouldn't worry about it. Our forms are always customizable. You can style it, align fields as you want using a custom CSS codes.
Please check this thread: http://www.jotform.com/answers/527346-Build-partial-payment-via-Paypal. I gave the user an example form to make a partial payment using Paypal. You can also read the steps on how to do it.
The only downside is that you cannot set a product image right into the options. However, a workaround can still be made.
