SchoolCash Forms+ is a great option for setting up a variable price or amount for purchase. A variable price can be added to a form using the Calculations & Pricing feature. The form can then be embedded within an item and made available for payment via SchoolCash Online.

An example of using a variable price is a fundraiser where a parent or guardian enters the amount they wish to contribute. The value of any form elements with pricing enabled is added to the total amount due for the item in SchoolCash Online.

Note

The Calculations & Pricing feature is available only if the add-on has been enabled. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.

How to Add a Variable Price to a Form

  1. In the Forms module, drag the Number element from the Elements section into your form.
  2. To enable pricing, toggle on the Price option under the element’s Properties panel.
  3. Update the element label (e.g., change "Numbers" to "Fundraiser Amount"). This label will appear in the payment cart.
  4. Forms with the Price toggle on will display a price icon beside the form element in the builder.
  5. Publish the form so it can be embedded within a SchoolCash Catalog or District Catalog item.

Note

When a form element is set up as a Price, the entered value adds to the total amount due in SchoolCash Online.
