Can I add payment button to a form?

Some schools have additional fees that they would like to collect via forms in Transparent Classroom. While there is not going to be a separate page for submitting payment like with Applications, you can add a Pay by PayPal link directly to your form. When you do this, it is important that you use specific code so that the PayPal page will open in a new tab or window so that parents don't lose their place in the form.

The code you will need is:

<a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/for-you/transfer-money/send-money" target="_blank">Pay Here</a>

Between the first " " you can add your own PayPal.me payment URL link and you can replace the "Pay Here" text with whatever text you would like to have as the link. It is important to keep the "target="_blank" as this is the piece of code that will open the link in the new tab or window.

You can add this code to your form by adding a "Text" widget option like this:

You will need to specify in the text of this widget what you want parents to pay so they know how much to send you when they access your PayPal.me page.
