    Default Donation to specific category.

    I am creating a website for a church that burn down a couple of years ago on Christmas Day. I want to setup a donation cart for them.

    Is it possible to create a cart to do donations to specific categories. I would like for someone to be able to donate any amount, and be able to select a category to donate it to, using paypal.

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    You could create as products your "categories" and alter the "buy" text to read "donate". Make each of these products $1 and add textual explanation to add as many as they wish to donate i.e.

    1 = $1
    50 = $50
    etc

    That's a clever way to do it. I hadn't thought of that. So there is no way for them to just enter the dollar amount they want. I am just thinking, if they wanted to add $100 or even $500 dollars, that would be a hell of a drop down for quantity.

    Not without recoding the cart functions to keep this automatic...
    If you want to manually process these (credit cards) and have a CC terminal you could make it a text box - - but again this becomes a manual operation

    Does it really make sense to deploy a Zen Cart just to collect donations? Why not just put a paypal button on a website?
