Hello @dan5hammocks,
Thank you for using Direct Stripe.
I’m not sure to get the issue here, I’ll try to resume the difference between the three types of buttons :
– type=”payment” -> that amount is set in the short code with the argument amount.
– type=”donation” -> the amount is set by the user/person who pays (the argument amount becomes useless)
– type=”subscription” -> the user subscribes to a plan previously created in stripe administration panel (the value related to the amount argument will be the plan ID )
Also be aware that you can use the arguments label and panellabel to set the text of the buttons, that means you can use a payment button and set the text “donate” to its label argument in the case you wish to preset the amount of donations.
I hope that will help, let me know!
Kind regards,
Sorry, let me try and be clearer.
I downloaded the plug-in and WordPress gave me a button to import it to my page.
I chose donation and, as indicated, did not bother with the argument amount because it said it was not needed for donations.
The button appeared on the test page – clicking it brought me to the window to enter in my personal info and then the window to enter in my CC info and then click “Pay”. BUT, before I click “Pay”, it did not ask me for an amount so how does that get entered? I don’t want to preset any amounts.
I then went back and set up the argument amount so that donors could enter in an amount in the window that appeared next to the button before clicking the button.
It’s working as it should but I would prefer to just have donors click rather than populated the window first so if there is an easier way to do this, please advise.
Hello @dan5hammocks,
Thank you for that information.
An input field should be on the side of the button for the user to enter the amount (without decimals).
Could you share an url with the donation button in it?
Best regards,
