PayPal Recurring Donations Code Issue

Question

I am trying to set up a recurring donations option on a non-profit site. I'm not very good with forms, and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The only value when you hit submit on the website is to make a $5 recurring donation. Is there a way to allow a different value? I found this code on the internet so I might not be setting it up correctly. Thank you!

Answer 1

The reason why that button is unable to detect the options that you have listed is because the button is an encrypted button which will not take effect with any other code you present in the form as it's already fixed and using the encrypted information.

The best solution is to follow the steps in the link below and you will be able to create a new button under your PayPal account. Currently, the button code that you have provided is under different PayPal account because you copied from somewhere else which belong to that person.

Moreover, as for your inquiry on making the donation as recurring, this feature is no longer available when using the PayPal Donation button. The only option is to make a recurring donation is by creating a "Subscription" button.

You can use the sample button from @PP_MTS_Azleen answer for the subscription button. But make sure to change the value for this code to your PayPal account email address:

Answer 3

Try to differentiate the option values with a unique name. Example Donate1, Donate 2 and so on.

<select name="os0">
    <option value="Donate1">Donate : $5.00 USD &#8211; monthly</option>
    <option value="Donate2">Donate : $10.00 USD &#8211; monthly</option>
    <option value="Donate3">Donate : $20.00 USD &#8211; monthly</option>
    <option value="Donate4">Donate : $30.00 USD &#8211; monthly</option>
    <option value="Donate5">Donate : $40.00 USD &#8211; monthly</option>
    <option value="Donate6">Donate : $50.00 USD &#8211; monthly</option>
  </select>
