Commerce Custom Donation Amount

Vote:

Hello,

I am buildling a shopping cart for the charity organization and need some help with what will be the best practice to implement a donation feature in Commerce. So, basically when customer purchase any product and when checkout we ask them if they want to donate anything - customer can select pre-defined value £1, £5, £10 etc. or can type in any amount ( ex: £3.85 ).

Question is do I have to create donation as product/variant? In that case how to set dynamic price that typed by customer. Or any other way to add donation amout to the purchased product.

TIA,

Hi SG

You have two design options

Use Product/Variant approach OR
Single Variant approach

For #1, You create Donation product, then create a couple variants that populate the pre-defined value (e.g.£1, £5, £10) and one variant doesn't have price set and programatically populate the price in your business logic by set LineItem.PlacedPrice for the dynamic price variant

For #2, You hard coded the display option in UI, then use the same technique to populate the price for Donation variant.

I don't see big differences between these approaches. With option #1, you have some flexbilities to manage content through Commerce instead of hard code in UI.

I hope it helps.

Hello,

You do need to use the Product-> variant relation for this.
