Add extra fee when using PayPal was created by Pieter77

Hi there,

I would like to add an extra fee (let say + €5) to the total amount when users pay with PayPal. I think i'll have to edit the os_paypal.php somewhere, but i'm not sure what to change...

Can you help me what tot edit?

Thanks!

Pieter

Hi All

I replied to Pieter's questions via support ticket. Here is the answer again in case someone has the same need :

1. Open the file components/com_pmform/payments/os_paypal.php

2. Find the code below :

Code:

$this->setParam('amount', round($data['amount'], 2));

3. Change it to :

Code:

$this->setParam('amount', round($data['amount'] + 5, 2));

After that, it will work as expected.

I would like this too but when I upgrade won't it override the change?

Can we not add a field in "Fields management" that can add an amount or percent to the amount the user enters in the form?

Thanks!!

Hi

Yes. When you upgrade, the change will be lost. However, you can edit the code easily to add it back (just one or two minutes). I will consider adding support for this feature in future release (maybe there will be a new parameter in the Paypal plugin which allows you to specify the extra amount) .

The time to update it is not an issue - but when you have many other things to do you may forget - that's what I'm afraid of.

This would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hi Tuan,

If I want to add a percentage rather than an amount, how do I add that?

Code:

$this->setParam('amount', round($data['amount'] + 5, 2));

Thanks!

Can I get some help with this please?

Do I just add it like this (2.5%) ? Will that work?

Code:

$this->setParam('amount', round($data['amount'] + 2.5%, 2));

Thanks!!

Hi

You will need to use the code below:

Code:

$this->setParam('amount', round($data['amount']*(1 + 2.5/100), 2));
