PayPal selection

How to send dynamic payment amounts from a CF dropdown to PayPal.

Overview

The issue occurs when a form with a dropdown for different priced events cannot pass the correct amount to PayPal.
Set the dropdown field name to match PayPal's amount parameter and assign each option's value to its corresponding price.

Hi there, I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I am using a chronoform on my site and i am trying to connect it to paypal. I know that I have to go through paypal to make the correct link. The form has a drop down menu that has different options for different events, each event costs a different amount, how do i make the form so that it will send the the right cost to the paypal link?

I hope that make sense and someone can help.

Hi Rory,

PayPal expects an "amount" parameter in the link, so just set your dropdown field name to be the same as the amount parameter name, and set the values as the different prices, you can also inject the values using PHP in run time!
