How to Add a Price Field to a PayPal Button

The Variable Price add-on for the Checkout for PayPal plugin lets customers enter their own payment amount. This is ideal for donations, pay-what-you-want products, or flexible service pricing.

How to Enable Variable Price

Open the product in question (Checkout for PayPal > Products > Edit) and Enable Variable Pricing in it.

When the button for this product is rendered on the front end (using coforpaypal_product shortcode), a price input field will appear with it.
