Custom Donations?
March 25, 2013, 10:12:05 am
Is there a way to allow the donor to input the amount they want to donate rather than selecting from fixed options?  Our organization, Shining Light International  has several projects that we'd like to promote, but so far I've only been able to configure a single "Other Amount" box which wouldn't have a project designation.  We want people to be able to donate an amount of their choice to a specific project.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
Ty

I figured it out.  It's done through the Price Set configuration. You can choose "text/numeric" as the input option and then set the amount to $1, but deselect the "show price" option.

The form works well, but how do you then use that data in reports?   I'm not seeing an easy way to include that info in reports.
