Allow Customer to Select Desired Price

[Rhapsody]

I'm searching for a way that allows the customer to enter an amount to pay for a product. This will be used for things such as charitable contributions and entering payment amount for an invoice.

 

I tried creating a product with combinations and dropdowns with the number 0 through 9 labeled as cents, dimes, dollars, ten dollars, and hundred dollars. The value of each having an amount that corresponds to the dropdown selected.

 

The problem is there are so many combinations, the combinations generator times out. Does anyone have a solution that allows a customer to enter the amount they desire to pay for a custom product?

Hi.

 

What happens if a customer sets a price? They will be able to buy it at that price?

 

Regards.

Yes - it is intended so customers can make a donation to our club, and to allow people to pay an invoice online. They would type in the invoice number in one custom field, then enter the invoice amount.

I am interested in this idea. Rather than list price to be written "DONATE". And the price to be entered by the user before being added to shopping cart

Create Product e.g "Charity Payment"

Set Product Price = 1

You don't have to create product combination.

 

Modify product.tpl file to add smarty if-else statement, so if customer browsing this product then the Product price information is hidden (or completely removed from the product page) and change the text "Quantity" became "I'm willing to pay" or whatever

Then your customer can enter the payment amount that s/he want in "I'm willing to pay" field input which is actually "Quantity" field input.

gonebdg - thanks for the tip.  If this approach is taken, can a person enter a decimal amount for the quantity (e.g. 1.25 to represent $1.25)?

gonebdg - thanks for the tip.  If this approach is taken, can a person enter a decimal amount for the quantity (e.g. 1.25 to represent $1.25)?

 

Set Product Price = 0.1 (or set to 0.01)

 

Customer can enter payment amount = 12 to represent $1.20 (if product price was set to 0.1)

OR

Customer can enter payment amount = 125 to represent $1.25 (if product price was set to 0.01)

 

You can also set minimum amount

Set Product Minimum Quantity (The minimum quantity to buy this product) = 10 (or set to 100)

Then the minimum payment amount will be = 1 (if product price was set to 0.1)

OR

Then the minimum payment amount will be = 0.1 (if product price was set to 0.01)

gonebdg  thx for the explanations. I would like to do as described, but i'm very new to presta. Maybe can you post an example of the lines of the product.tpl, that would be fantastic, thank you!
