I am building an application which includes a custom donation form where users can select:
- Frequency: monthly, single
- Amount: 3 x Buttons with values, input for custom value
I am using the PayPal Donate SDK and cannot find a way to pass across the amount or frequency so that the amount is pre-filled and the “make this a monthly donation” checkbox selected/deselected based on the users input.
The PayPal button has been added to the page (just absolute styled over the form button) and the SDK opens the donation page in a modal which is my desired result.
This is the code to display my button:
window.PayPal.Donation.Button({
env: "sandbox",
hosted_button_id: "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
onComplete: function() {
// Redirect to success page, save the PP transaction details, etc.
}
}).render("#paypal-donate-button-container");
With the standard PayPal.Buttons
API, I am able to pass in a createOrder
function like so, where I can set the amount, for example;
window.PayPal.Buttons({
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
amount: {
value: document.querySelector(".selected-premium").dataset.value
},
reference_id: document.querySelector(".selected-premium").dataset.days + "-days"
}]
});
}
}
Is there a way to pass through the amount and frequency using the SDK, similar to how I can do it with the standard payments API? If not, what are the alternatives in 2022 that don’t rely on SO answers that use docs that no longer exist?
