In Fluent Forms, the Custom Amount field allows users to pay any amount based on their needs. This article will guide you through adding the Custom Payment Amount field in your Fluent Forms for your WordPress Site.
Add Custom Payment Amount Field #
To learn how to add the Custom Payment Amount field to the Fluent Forms, follow the steps with the screenshots below –
First, go to the Forms section from the Fluent Forms Navbar, choose a desired Payment Form, and click the Pencil/Edit icon to open the Editor page of that form.
If you don’t have an existing payment form, read this Documentation to create a new one. For example, I choose an existing form to show the whole process.
Once you open the Editor page, go to the Input Fields in the right sidebar, open the Payment Fields module, and add the Custom Payment Amount field.
If you don’t have the Payment Fields Module enabled in your Fluent Forms, read this Documentation to learn how to enable it.
You can see that a Custom Payment Amount field is added to the form. You can edit this field by hovering over it and clicking the Pencil Icon.
It will take you to the Input Customization tab on the right side and offer you the following options for customizing the coupon field.
- Custom Payment Amount
- Advanced Options
1. Custom Payment Amount #
Here, you will get various settings options for customizing the field. All the Settings under the Custom Payment Amount tab mentioned in the screenshot are briefly explained below –
A. Element Label: This is the field title the users will see when filling out the Item Quantity field in a form. You can enter any text here to help users understand the purpose of the field.
B. Label Placement: Using this option, you can determine the position of the label title where the user will see this. The available options are Top, Right, Bottom, Left, Hide Label, and Default All of those are self-explanatory except the Default. If you select the Default option, it will represent your global label placement settings.
C. Admin Field Label: The admin field label is a field title displayed only to admin users. That means, if you want to show a different field label for your admin users when they view the form submissions, you can configure that using this option.
D. Placeholder: Here, you can set a desired text to guide your users about the purpose of the Item Quantity field. It is the equivalent of the HTML input placeholder attribute. The user will see this text when the input field is empty.
