Pay want you want feature - missing
I am missing the chance to create products of “pay what you want”.
This is something super handy for creating manual orders.
Use case: you can enter the price you want prior to create the order.
*not just thinking of cases of users that may use the feature for donations and so :)
Again. Something that service bases business use a lot!

Also: when you mark an order as paid, there is no success message. If you click again it says it has been already payed (you have to refresh the page to see this).
Bump. Is there a way to do this yet?
I've been wondering about this feature too since I'd like to use it for optional member dues where members can pay any even dollar amount above a minimum.
In my case, the amounts must be even dollars (no cents) so one idea I'm thinking about is creating 500 or so 'dues' products with each having a different price ($30, $31, $32, etc.). Then I could create a form that asks some other info, asks how much they want to pay, and then programmatically adds the corresponding product to their shopping cart before redirecting them to the shopping cart to pay. This obviously isn't the best way to do this but I think it may work for us.
Another idea is to have one product with a cost of $1 and then, using the initial form, add a quantity equal to however much the user wants to pay. Since our dues are always even dollars, this may work. The biggest negative is how it would look in the shopping cart and in receipts (quantity X of $1 product).
Ideally, a 'pay what you want' (with a forced minimum) feature would be added. Or just use Paymattic but that has proven troublesome so far as well.
Hi, I'm recreating a website for a charity where I was using SureCart. I want to replace it with FluentCart (using the new modal option) but "Name your price" (Pay what you want) is still missing.
If we can have this feature for One-time pricing AND for Subscription pricing, it could be amazing for non-profit project.

We also need this for subscriptions. Whithout this feature, we can not run our community. There should also be an option where the user can change the amount of money they pay for the next subscription period.
Hey I built a small plugin that adds this functionality - https://github.com/tdrayson/fc-name-your-price
It uses the FluentCart custom product api and follows the FluentCart styling. https://dev.fluentcart.com/modules/custom-product-selling
Has a couple different options and features. Feel free to give it and try and let me know
Taylor Drayson Wow....this looks awesome and possibly exactly what I need to switch to FluentCart for donations. Thanks!!!
Hey Taylor! This is great: I actually requested this feature about 9 months ago, so really cool to see someone build it.
Two questions for my use case:
-
Does this work for manual/admin orders? I create B2B invoices from the backend (custom amount per client), so I'd need this in the admin order flow, not just the frontend checkout.
-
I see it supports min/max validation: does it also work with FluentCart's invoicing/tax features? I need EU VAT compliance on these custom-amount orders.
Thanks for putting this together: the on-the-fly item creation is exactly the right approach.
- Currently there's no manual option backend option. Feel free to add it as a github issue as a feature request.
- it uses the standard fc checkout, so if thats how it works, then should be fine. Try installing it on a staging site and giving it a test.
