Setting up a Custom Recurring Donation Form

Last Update: 

Jotform’s Variable Price feature allows you to set up your payment forms, particularly when setting up subscriptions, to get the price of an item from a number field or a calculation. If you managing a charity site, you can use this feature to set up a custom recurring donation form.

In this demo form, donors can choose their preferred payment schedule with an option to keep the predefined amount or enter a custom amount.

Setting up the Custom Recurring Donation Form

You can’t set up the custom recurring donation form without a payment gateway, so pick first from the list. Here are the steps:

  1. In the Form Builder, click the Add Form Element button.
  2. Go to the Payments tab.
  3. Choose your preferred payment gateway — for example, Stripe. Click or drag and drop it to add.

Repeat all the steps for each subscription if you need to add more. Jotform also offers a wide selection of donation form templates.

Canceling the Recurring Subscription

You can cancel the recurring subscription depending on the provider. Here are examples of the commonly used gateways:

  • Authorize.Net — You must cancel subscriptions from the Authorize.Net account dashboard.
  • Stripe — You must cancel subscriptions from the Stripe account dashboard.
  • PayPal — Users can cancel their subscriptions from within their PayPal accounts. You can also cancel the subscriptions from your PayPal account dashboard.

Note:

The recurring subscriptions are not available in some payment integrations.
