I am building a renewal form for a club with several options - all at their own cost.
Is there a way to have these items totaled within Chronoforms to avoid errors in the Paypal payment amounts?

Thank you

How exactly ? if you set the amount field in PayPal Redirect to say "total", then you can do some calculations inside a "custom code" action before the PayPal Redirect:

<?php
$form->data["total"] = $form->data["field1"] + $form->data["field2"];
?>

Hi sharonbetts,

I would do it first with custom JavaScript in the form display to show the user what the total cost is; and second with PHP after the form is submitted to check that the total is correct before payment.

Sounds wonderful, Bob - but way out of my skill set -
Is there a way to post the total to the form after calculating it and before redirecting it to Paypal?

So, it looks like they would need the Advanced API through Paypal which would add too much to their bottom line. I just need a quick way to total the fields they select.

Hi sharonbetts,

Please see Max's post before mine,

You may not need the PayPal Redirect action - you can make a simple PayPal payment using the ReDirect action provided that you don't need instant notification.
