Entry and jury fee payments with Paypal The easiest way to receive jury fee payments is through Paypal (or any other payment gateway that you use!). You can setup EntryThingy to automatically calculate the jury fee, add the unique entry number to the item name and send entrants to your payment page after they've added their entry. Here's how it can be done with Paypal.
All this is done in the 'Default Instructions for Entrants After Entry is Submitted' text area in the show settings. And because it's just a text field, you can configure it whichever way you like. So it can have a Paypal payment button along with instructions and also your address for entrants that want to pay by check.
Now please don't be alarmed - sample code for all of this is shown under the images below. You can ask your web designer to take a look at this or just ask us and we'll put it together for you.
This is a sample of what it could look like in EntryThingy:
And this is what it looks like when the entrant clicks over to Paypal:
This is the code for the Paypal button:<form action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='post'> <input type='image' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif' border='0' name='submit' alt='Buy now.'> <img alt='' border='0' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif' width='1' height='1'> <input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='_xclick'> <input type='hidden' name='business' value='yourpaypalemail'> <input type='hidden' id='item_name' name='item_name' value='Entry fee for entry <$entrynumber$>'> <input type='hidden' name='item_number' value='<$entrynumber$>'> <input type='hidden' name='no_shipping' value='1'> <input type='hidden' name='return' value='http://www.yourwebsite.com'> <input type='hidden' name='cancel_return' value='http://www.yourwebsite.com'> <input type='hidden' name='no_note' value='1'> <input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='USD'> <input type='hidden' name='lc' value='US'> <input type='hidden' name='bn' value='PP-BuyNowBF'> <input id='price' type='hidden' name='amount' value='35.00'> <form> Just change the business, return, cancel_return and amount values.
And if you want to automatically calculate the amount based on whether an entrant is a member or not, you can add a dropdown that looks like this:Are you a Member? <select id=membership><option value=u><option value=y>Yes, I am a member<option value=n>No, I am not a member</select> and add this to the Paypal button <form> element:onsubmit='return checkPaypal();' And then add javascript code to the EntryThingy code on the page on your site like this: (this code even calculates the fee based on how many images they've uploaded)function checkPaypalPayment() { if ($('membership').value=='u') { alert('Ooops. Please indicate whether you are a member or not.'); return false; } $('item_name').value=($('membership').value=='y'?'Member':'Non-Member')+" entry fee for entry <$entrynumber$>"; var price; if ($('membership').value=='y') { if (currrevisions.length<=3) price=30; else price=40; } else { if (currrevisions.length<=3) price=40; else price=50; } if (currrevisions.length>5) price+=5*(currrevisions.length-5); $('price').value=price+".00"; return true; }
