AnchSymphony Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 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! - Jenn Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted February 23, 2023 Solution Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) This isn’t possible. Squarespace doesn’t have a variable price type. You may want to look at ticketing platforms as some offer this feature. The only workarounds on Squarespace are to offer ‘price’ variants at several fixed prices, or to use the quantity to increase the price (20 x $1 = $20) but neither of these are ideal and they will prevent you tracking/controlling inventory.

Ok, thank you. - Jenn 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. https://help.brownpapertickets.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030230772-Create-Sliding-Scale-or-Pay-What-You-Like-Admission-Prices https://ticketstripe.com/blog/pay-what-you-wish-flexible-donations/ https://www.thundertix.com/pay-what-you-can-ticket-pricing/ https://www.ticketleap.com/p/solutions/event-ticketing-platform?rc=GA-TickSoftware-Platform-BMM-Event ticketing platform&utm_campaign=ticksoftware-platform-bmm&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=ad&utm_term=Event ticketing platform&gclid=Cj0KCQiAutyfBhCMARIsAMgcRJR686y-MEzyPfipMkwKtmZlOYqFwrg6_EqB0le3AraaYP0FPII0dqsaAloFEALw_wcB Another option may be the donation feature in Squarespace.

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. 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.

katedgr8 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 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 Link to comment
