Pass payment variable to Online express

Andrew Caufield

Hi guys,


I'm wondering is it possible to pass a variable to an Online Express form. For example the value the person is going to be paying/donating so when they arrive at the online express form - they just have to enter their credit card details.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can select a default amount, which would maybe do what you want?  And you can do multiple Donation Pages so that depending on how one reaches the page, there is a different default amount selected.  I think you could set it up so that there is only one amount to choose from, but I don't think that's a great idea, because someone could forgo making a donation altogether if they can't change the amount.

You can use query string parameters (also known as Magic Links) on donation forms. For example, if you want your form to preselect a gift amount of $100 and disallow other amounts, you can create a link to the form like this:


www.yourwebsite.org/donate?BBGiftAmount=100&BBHideOtherGifts=1


For more information on Magic Links, see https://www.blackbaud.com/files/support/helpfiles/OnlineExpress/online-help/Content/HelpTopics/donations-magic-links.html


Does that help?
