Multiple Donation cart check

[heavenbound]

Currently Paypal on donaions only allows one donation at a time without a cart for multiple donations. I use the donations buttons to allow people to request items on a donations basis as a non profit. Is there a Third Party Cart that would allow people to set their own donation price for multiple items on a check out basis? Example. Say I want items 3,5 and 7 and will donate $10.00 for all three only having to check out once rather then three checkouts once for each item.

What you have in mind requires an out of the box approach.   You need a bit of custom scripting plus the use of the "upload" method.   Here's one example and you can find some tips on Donations and more examples here.

Thanks. The donation text really helps. I need a couple of small adjustments and it has been years since Pascal and Basic programming which helps a little with HTML and Java. Does anyone know anyone who can make some small adjustments for a donation?

Adam,

Glad to share. The code I am use can be seen at http://www.heavenpastpresentfuture.com/order.html. I just made a couple of changes in the code which you can see in view source to allow it to add multiples of the same donation for an item. It then sends the proper information to PayPal with the correct total dontated. Hope this helps.

I was able to use your template to get a multiple item for same donation working. It can be viewed at http://www.heavenpastpresentfuture.com/order.html. You are welcome to it if you want to share it. Thanks. Bill

Heavenbound,

saw your great example; good job! 

I'll be having the same need and was wondering if it's possible to set the minimum amount acceptable?  For example, in your first item, you say the cost to the ministry is $10, but is there a way to then set $10 as a minimum payment for it then?  Right now, it appears as though someone could donate only $1.00 for this item?

Thanks so much!

To set minimum or maximum amounts or quantities requires some custom scripting on your web page or site.  Check out the button code examples here.
