Quick Answer
How do you collect donations with a BizStackPro form?
Go to Sites → Forms → Builder, create a form, drag the Collect Payment element onto the canvas, then configure the donation amount, Live or Test mode, suggested amounts, Other amount option, and currency.
Collecting Donations Without Complicating the Experience
Donation forms let you collect a set donation amount or allow donors to enter their own amount.
You can also offer suggested donation amounts, include an Other amount option, choose the currency, and switch between Live and Test mode while building.
These options let you create a simple payment experience while still giving donors flexibility over how much they contribute.
