Donation form similar to shopping cart

ffayad 03 Oct, 2009
Hi

I am trying to create a donation form for a school website using Chronoforms with Paypal. The issue I am facing is that the donations are not arbitrary, they are based on the number of kids a parent has. For instance if you have 2 kids you pay a certain amount, if you 3 kids you pay another amount.

I also would like to store the information of the people that donated along with the amount they donated.
Does Chronoforms accommodate such request.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi ffayad,

Yes, please check the database tutorial from the Tutorials link above.

PS I also suggest that you use the ReDirect Plugin for the PayPal connection.

Thanks Bob for your quick reply.

The piece that I am struggling with is to be able to present the users with a form where there will be a field called kids and next it a drop down field called quatity. based on the quatity selection, the total contribution will be automatically calculated based on the quantity selected. The I would like all the dollar amount saved in the database along with the user information.

Is this possible in CF. If not, can you think of a scenario that can be done in CF to accommodate this functionality.

Thanks
Fidel

Hi Fidel,

This is a straightforward piece of form coding and can easly be done in ChronoForms. You will need to know a little PHP (or JavaScript) to do the calculation though.

Please go ahead and build a simple version of the form and then come back here with specific questions.

Bob
