Hello!

Building a donation form for a nonprofit, and I'm trying to add in inputs for their phone number and custom donation amount. The phone number doesn't autofill in the checkout on PayPal's end—I suspect it's because of the multipart variable required for phone numbers. The 'name' for the phone number variable I've got in there now is just 'phone'.

Is the amount variable supported for autofill? Is there any way I can allow users to input their custom donation amount before they get to PayPal's checkout page?

Extra kudos to anyone with a reference, resource, or fix for the phone number autofill as well 🙂

Here's the link for the form: http://cypress-assistance-ministries.webflow.io/support/donate

Here's the code for the form:

<form id="wf-form-Donation-Form" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" class="donation-form-holder">

    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="CZ3FJSD3WZGDU">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">

    <!-- Specify details about the contribution -->
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Donation to Cypress Assistance Ministries">
    <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Web Donation">
    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="">
    <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">

You need to use the variables:

night_phone_a (for the area code)

night_phone_b (for the next 3 digits)

night_phone_c (for the last 4 digits)

Just for demo purposes, I tweaked your example to include the variables and removed the line:

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="">

- you're already using the "amount" variable with the text input.
