Donations - User Enters Amount

[geoffr]

I am setting up a site for a charity that sells products and also accepts donations.  We want to use the one gateway for both, as the user may make a donation at the same time as purchasing a product.

Is this possible with VirtueMart2?

thanks,
Geoff

Did you find a solution?

Can't find any extensions for this - we did do a custom code for this functionality for VM1.1 - basically added an amount to the checkout total chosen by the user..

Hi,
Is there any reason why you can not simply create a product called donations with a unit value of $1.00 and use the quantity field as a total donation field?
place it in it's own category etc or place it as a sub item for the stock item.
ie.
book : x : price $25.00 quantity ordered [z]
  - -- -- -donation : y price $1.00 quantity ordered [z - value of donation]
