Enter price on same screen as buy it now button?

[waterintowine]

I want to offer a single downloadable file (zip) and let the customer determine the price. I want to streamline the process and have the customer enter the price on the same screen as the item image and "buy it now" button then proceed to the payment screen - rather than have to click on a button and then be taken to a screen where they enter a price.



make sense?



can this be done with e-junkie?



thanks for your help.

Buyers can only set their own price on the actual cart/checkout screen, not as a text-entry field on your own page next to the Buy Now button. Note that you can at least set a minimum price (which the buyer cannot undercut) and a suggested price (which the price field would be "prefilled" with on the cart screen) for the product's configs in your Seller Admin.

thanks.

As Tyson has pointed out, the minimum price can not be undercut. To pass any price over that using a price field in your page, please see "To pass product price other than the amount set in E-junkie admin" at http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.customization.php

thanks for the response. do you have an example of the code?



i want to minimize the steps so i need the buyer to be able to enter the price they want to pay on the SAME screen as the buy it now button. then when they click on the buy it now button that amount shows up in the paypal payment screen.



this is the last piece i need to get up and running.



thanks!

Why don't you paste your button code here and let me see if I can whip up an HTML form for you real quick

[waterintowine]

that would be great! but the "buy it now" tab on the seller screen is grayed out. what do i need to do?



- thanks.

That means your settings only allow you to create ADD TO CART buttons. In your case that setting might be "let buyers edit price". Uncheck that and create the button code again.

ah yes. that worked. so here's the button code:



<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=113261&c=single&cl=24505" target="ejejcsingle" ><img src="https://www.e-junkie.com/ej/x-click-butcc.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></a>

[E-junkie_Chef]

<form action="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=113261&c=single&cl=24505" target="ejejcsingle" method="GET">

<input type="text" name="amount" value="10.00"/>

<input type="image" src="https://www.e-junkie.com/ej/x-click-butcc.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></form>

[waterintowine]

thanks. but that just takes me to a blank page:



https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?amount=10.00&x=43&y=26

[E-junkie_Chef]

oops .. can you change GET to POST?

[waterintowine]

that worked! thanks. seems to work fine but is it still possible to "sell" the item for $0?

[E-junkie_Chef]

Yes, but only if you use our cart button .. in which case buyer can use our free checkout.
