Minimum payment for "pay what you want?"

Based on the advice elsewhere in the forums, I’ve configured S2Member to provide a “pay what you want” paypal button.

However, is there any way to provide a minimum payment? For instance, if I want people to pay at least $1, is there any way to set it up so that the button will reject their payment if it is below a certain amount?

Hello Daniel,

That’s certainly possible to setup. Take this button here and then add your own JavaScript so that it doesn’t let the button click go through, until the user pays over that amount.

Unfortunately, I don’t know a lick of code. I’ll see if I can rustle up one of my developer friends to help me — unless the code was easy and something you could whip up in a few minutes?

Also, would this plugin be appropriate for including the javascript in my WordPress page? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/insert-javascript-css/

Thanks for the heads up on this thread :-)

Can you please point me to the forum post where you obtained this code fragment/example? Once I see what you’re working with, I can offer you some advice on how to implement this last bit you’re looking for. Thanks!

I’m using the advice in this link: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16566&p=59040#p59040

Namely, I’m changing the value of “amount” from “hidden” to “text.”

How would I tie this in with a minimum payment?

And is there any chance a later release of S2Member might incorporate pay what you want built in? I can see there being a lot of demand for this.

Thanks for your reply :-)

Find this portion of your Button Code please.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

Add this JavaScript check if you like. Adding an onsubmit JavaScript handler to the FORM tag.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" onsubmit="if(Number(document.getElementsByName('a3')&#91;0&#93;.value) < 1.00){ alert('Must be greater than $1.00 please.'); return false; }">

Result looks like, functions like, this…
