Donation

The Donation Field has been deprecated as of GF v1.6. Existing donation fields will continue to function correct; however, it will no longer be possible to add new donation fields. Use the Product Field instead. The type of transaction is now solely determined by the PayPal feed setup for the form.

The Donation Field is a product-independent pricing field that allows the user to specify or select a donation amount. Donation Fields integrate with the Shipping and Total fields; however, Donation Fields do not integrate with Product, Option, and Quantity fields.
