I have a product with the price set to zero, but I want to encourage the customers to donate something, which is something I picked up from Gumroad. So I set up my product page, set it to zero, and included variations of the price to encourage donations, but suppose I want the donate amount to show up by default, rather than the zero price, is there a way to do it? Here is a link to a product in case you want to take a look at what I’m saying.
Payment gateways (such as PayPal or Stripe) do not support $0 transactions. For this reason, it’s not recommended to set a product price to $0 if you intend to process it through a payment gateway. Instead, you can set a small minimum amount (for example, $1) and treat that as the minimum donation value.
If you want to offer the item for free, using a squeeze form is a good approach. The following post explains the available options in more detail:
A practical setup would be to include both options on the same page—use a squeeze form for users who prefer not to make a donation, and provide a donation-based product for those who are willing to contribute.
Thanks for your response, but it sort of did not get the point of my question. I know of the squeeze form and I have products with only that.
Perhaps let me clarify with a different product, which has three variations ebook $7, audiobook $10 (+3), ebook+audiobook $15 (+8). Right now, the default price is ebook, but say I want to run a campaign for ebook+audiobook, is there a way for this to be the default? I could of course change the product price to 15, instead of 7, and that would make it the default, but it would mean those who want to get the lower priced products would not have the option, since the price variations work by adding onto the set price.
