Replicating variation in donation levels on paper based forms

Hi, We are running a DM offline donation campaign where the 3 ask levels vary based on various parameters about the constituent.  I'm not aware of a way to vary the donation levels on a Luminate donation form but I thought I'd see if anyone had a solution.  Ideally we want to have the person who receives a paper donation form, but wants to donate online, have the ability to go to the online form and see the same 3 ask levels that they saw on the paper version.  Our thought was that they could enter a code and then it would pull up the donation form with proper 3 donation levels.  But since the ask levels are defined for the donation form when it's setup I assume that this isn't possible.


For many of the these donors they may not have logged into our website before so don't have a username/password that they know of.  The only way I can think of to make this process happen would be to create a little application outside of Luminate that allows the user to enter their code, have that page lookup from a database and display the 3 donation levels for that user, and then have the user click on the amount they want to donate, and then have that populate the "other amount" field on the Luminate donation form. 


Anyone have any other suggestions?

    You could create a fake gift string on the form in an html caption, hide the real gift string, and update the real other amount field based on the inputs from the fake gift string. This requires just one donation level to be published on the form (user generated level), and the gift string can be dynamically generated with javascript based on the url parameters (or code from the DM piece). This would all vary a bit if you're working with an api donate form.

    Great idea - thanks!
