Am I missing the method to create a sliding scale fee for events?
This is pretty common in many industries, we allow people to pay what they can. sliding scale might be a dropdown, or radio button. or simple a field where they can enter an amount within a range. All three options are good.
so i edited the language files so that a deposit is called sliding scale. This could work for me except for one issue.
The field to enter payment is blank, and next to it is the "deposit" amount or the low end of our sliding scale. I want to encourage people to pay the full amount if they can afford it.
Is there any way to have that field default auto-fill wit the full amount and if someone wants to pay less they can delete it and
You'd have to modify the code to do that. A while back, the deposit field did auto-populate an amount (the mimimum if I remember correctly), but many complained about that... wanted it blank.
