How can we have a field in the Paypal form for donation?

    I've made the following formpasted below.

     

    My problem is that we need to also add a field for donations with amount determined by user.  There appears to be no way to do this.  Is there a workaround?

     

    Thank you,

    Yes, there is. You can use our basic fields such as the Radio Button field then the calculation to get the total. You can pass the total to the Paypal field. Here are the steps:

    1. Add a radio button field and put your current product items there. Add the price from the options so your customers would know the prices.

    2. Add a calculation value for the options. Here's how: https://www.jotform.com/help/301-How-to-Assign-Calculation-Value. Just the price, no currency symbol.

    3. Add a textbox field. This would serve as your donation field. Label it with Donation or the like.

    4. Add a calculation widget then sum up the radio button and the textbox. Note: You can hide this calculation if you want. 

    5. Now, pass the calculation to the Paypal field. Here's how: https://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-pass-a-calculation-to-a-payment-field
