Blank price box for user-defined donation

Hello: I am working on a site for a non-profit that needs a way for site visitors to enter their own amount for donations.

I searched the forum, but the suggestions for how to do this seem to have disappeared.

Thanks,

Bob S.

Re: Blank price box for user-defined donation

Here is a thread on taking ebay payments, the idea is the same - a user defined payment amount. All you'll need to do is use the basic ideas presented here and change some wording to make it read donations instead of ebay payments.

You could also create a product worth $1.00, and let the customer enter the quantity they wish to purchase .... thus a quantity of 35 would translate to $35.00.
