Hello!
I am creating donation buttons for our nonprofit. I would like to ask for both one-time gifts ("Donation" button) and recurring gifts ("Subscription" button) with amounts provided by the giver. A variable donation amount is clearly available with the "Donation" button, but not with the "Subscription" button. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks! 🙂

What you can do is have several different subscriptions with different amounts. ( $1, $2, $5, $10 etc)
And good luck getting somebody to do a Donation Subscription............lol........getting a donation in the first place is like pulling teeth out of King Kong.......lol
