Pay-What-You-Want Concert

Hello,

  We are planning a Pay-What-You-Want concert. I am trying to set up ticket sales on our site and don't see how I can leave the price of an item blank for the buyer to input. Anyone know how I could do this? Thanks!

This isn't available within Squarespace but I did a quick search and found some links for you that might be helpful. Maybe something these platforms offer would work for you.

Another option may be the donation feature in Squarespace.

The simple, but not perfect way to do this is to set the price at $1 and then direct users to set the quantity to the price in dollars that they want to pay. So if you type in 25 to the quantity the total will be $25. This has to be done carefully as you don't necessarily want to be delivering 25 digital items, so may be better to add the product as a service, and then in the confirmation email add the ticket.

Thank you!

Hey Squarespace Team! The demand for sliding scale and equitable pricing models is only going to increase. Can your programmers help us to offer more inclusive options to our audiences without having to send them through a bunch of workarounds? Pretty please? 

Thank you for considering. -kate
