What is a Variable Priced Product and how do I use it?

A Variable Priced Product allows you to collect a custom payment amount without setting a fixed price in advance. This is perfect for situations like auctions, donation-based sales, or “pay what you can” items.

To set one up:

  1. Go to the Store tab, click New, and choose Product.
  2. Select Single Option under product options.
  3. Under pricing, choose “Variable Price.”
  4. Set a Minimum and Maximum amount.
  5. Add a clear description (e.g., “Enter the amount you’d like to give” or “Pay your winning bid here”).

When supporters go to pay, they’ll be able to enter any amount within your price range. You can collect these payments online, in person with a card reader, or through a QR code or donation link.

It’s a flexible, easy way to accept open-ended contributions while keeping your tracking clean.
