    Hi, how can I allow a person to choose the amount of donation in addition to the listed choices of amounts?

    Here is a form I am working on, and have set up a few options for payment, but wanted to add the choice of the customer choosing their amount to donate.

    TY

    Hi Chaim,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

    To allow a person to choose a custom donation amount in addition to the listed choices, you can use Jotform's Variable Price feature or enable the Allow Custom Amounts option in the Donation Box element.

    Here’s how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, add your payment gateway (e.g., Stripe) under the Payments tab.
    2. Set up your donation options with fixed amounts as usual.
    3. Enable the option for custom amounts by toggling on Allow Custom Amounts in the Donation Box properties or by enabling the Variable Price feature in the subscription settings.

    This will allow donors to enter their own donation amount alongside the preset options.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Best regards,
    Jotform Support

    Hi Chaim,

    You can allow the users to select a predefined donation amount or enter any value. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element and add a Single Choice element to your form.
    2. Then, click on the Gear icon and go to the Options tab.
    3. Enable the Display Other Options option and label it. This is where the users enter their preferred donation amounts.

    5. Then, click on the Wand icon then click on the Form Fields button and add the Single Choice field we added earlier before clicking on Save.

    6. Click on the Gear icon on the widget, and go to the Advanced tab then turn on the Hide Field option.

    1. Go to the payment processor, and click on the Heart icon to open the Donation option.
    2. Then, select the Donation amount widget in the Get Price From option.
