Create conditioning for Paypal

    Hi,

    In one of the products I would like to give them the option to pay only the registration and pay the rest later. But if I create this alternative calculation “à payer maintenant” that can be selected with a checkbox (checkbox-1), I don’t see how I can tell Paypal that that’s the new Total. (Paypal has a “variable amount” that corresponds to a pre-set calculation; there is no conditioning in the Paypal settings)

    Can you give me a clue on how to do this?

    Thanks,
    Rod

    HI @nomadarod

    I hope you’re well today!

    In Stripe you can use conditions to select payment plan but with PayPal there’s currently no such option so you need a little “trick”.

    Let’s say you have “calculation-1” (to be used if “checkbox-1” is not checked) and “calculation-2” (to be used if “checkbox-1” is checked):

    – set visibility for “calculation-1” to show if “checkbox-1 is not checked”
    – set visibility for “calculation-2” to show if “checkbox-1 is checked”

    – add third calculation field to form (may be set to be “hidden” – no need for conditions too), let’s say it’s “calculation-3”

    – for it’s calculation formula set

    {calculation-1}+{calculation-2}

    – and set that new “calculation-3” field as payment amount source for PayPal variable payment.

    What happens is that depending checkbox state either “calculation-1” or “calculation-2” would be used, meaning that calculation in “calculation-3” field becomes either

    {calculation-1}+0

    or

    0+{calculation-2}

    which, essentially, means that result of calculation-3 would always be equal to value of one of those two other calculation fields, depending on which one is visible according to their visibility logic.

    Best regards,
    Adam
