 Hi all Is the following a capability of Ubercart: 1. Customer logs into their account Sometimes I have a service that is different from standard pricing on products and would like customer to just enter an amount taht we have agreed on. Thanks and I look forward to any responses!
Re: Can customer enter payment amount?
As of yet, we don't have a flexible payment terminal like this. As more and more people use Ubercart to sell services (ourselves included), this is definitely on the to-do list for the next version. It can always start out as a contrib module that gets folded into core, too!
Re: Re: Can customer enter payment amount?
Thanks Ryan. When you say that this is on to-do-list for next version, are you thinking Beta 8 and is there a projected time for this? I guess for now I will just put in a product for each user as I create an account for them with the exact amount that they owe.
Re: Can customer enter payment amount?
A temporary solution is to create a product called for example "Make Payment" with a sell price of 1.0. The quantity field will be used by the customer as the amount you've agreed upon. So lets say you agreed $500, then user will just enter a quantity of 500. Then product will got to cart, checkout etc as per normal workflow.

Something a little more intuitive for your customers may be the donation contrib posted by greenSkin. It rocks.   
Re: Re: Re: Can customer enter payment amount?
Another option would be to combine two contribs, Attribute Tokens and Custom Price Calculation. $item->price = [payment amount];although you'd probably also want to add validation.
Re: Can customer enter payment amount?
Sorry to resurrect an old post, but i was wondering if anything had changed on this front? I could really use a method to allow the customer to make a payment of their choosing. Please let me know if there's a way to make this work. thanks!

You are in luck. http://drupal.org/project/uc_varprice |

Someone could do something like this in a contrib module between now and then, though.
