Can I set up a payment link where customers can enter an amount to pay (custom amount)?

How can I set up a payment link to have customer choose amount to pay, similar to the way the  donation link set up?

Right now it only says "Item variations must have a fixed price to be sold in your store"

Thank you

With Square Register, is it possible, instead of sending an invoice with a specific amount, to send someone a link to your Square account so that they can make a payment in any amount they choose? This would be similar to Square Cash where you can send someone the link cash.me/$cashtagname and they can pay any amount they want.

While we don't currently have that feature in Square Invoices, I can see how that would be useful! I'll share this suggestion with our Product Liaison team, thanks for surfacing this!

Having this option would really help my business. Even though there are not too many comments on this thread, I see there are many people who have viewed it, I assume looking for this to be an option. Have there been any progress towards making it an option to send a link for payment without a specific amount yet?

Hello @ics! 

Currently this feature request isn't on our road map. I will make sure to flag your comment for our Product Team though! 🙂

I agree that this is desperately needed - a simple link that I can send to my clients so they can pay invoices I generate from my own accounting system with a simple URL.  It would be nice if they could enter ANY amount (partial payment), or the full amount.  Now I'm having to use Paypal and I'd rather all of these processing fees go Square where I used to process all of my transactions!

I need this feature too... Please?

[CanyonCS]

Try Paypal for this purpose...very easy for my clients to pay any amount they want with a simple link.  Hope Square gets up to par with Paypal in this regard because I prefer to use Square for everything.

I was working with a non-profit and created a link for our multiple fundraisers super easy via paypal.  I wonder why Sqauare doesnt have that option.  With our work, it would be so helpful to have this feature instead of taking credit cards over the phone and use manual card entry.

We use PayPal.me for this purpose.  It's a fast and simple URL that isn't tied to an invoice, but gives our customers the ability to make a payment and have it come to the right place. It would be nice to consolidate and just use one provider.

Yes, PayPal offers a minimum amount required, on an invoice. Really hope Square does something similar. 

I've had to make a lot of adjustments,trying to apply payments towards an existing invoice...such a hassle

We need clients to enter in their own amount towards an invoice

I would like to know if this feature does become an option because I'm hoping to be able to use a link so my clients have the opportunity to share with family and friends to help them pay towards their birth. Kind of like a honeymoon and wedding registry only for birth and newborn photography. Is there currently a way to do that through square?

Hello @EMFPhotography!

Currently this feature is not on the road map, but we're still collecting feedback. Right now we don't have the ability to create a registry or an account where multiple people can donate funds to a specific individuals selected items. It's an interesting suggestion that I'll pass along to the Product Team.

I don’t understand how this option isn’t available yet! With people paying each other and businesses via links, PayPal and Venmo this is quite necessary. I would like my clients who use square to be able to utilize something as simple as a payment link. 

[Tanya25]

Same, need this feature.

This reply was created from merging an existing thread: Can I have a link where my clients pay directly to my square account? Like PayPal.Me

I need my customers can pay through a link. It doesnt work for me to create an invoice because I need that many customers pay through that same link. As in paypal.me

[RHatch]

This is not a feature Square currently offers.  You can make this work by using Jot Forms and linking it to your Square account.

[Rolandobini]

How? Do you have an example or something?

[2Beez]

It seems lots of us need this, I just posted virtually the same in Jan 2020. It appears it has been on the drawing board now for at least 1.5 years, that is a long time for nothing to have come about with all these inquiries. I'm bummed, I would rather use square than another vendor for this but can't seem any other option 😕

[nika]

I'm sorry for the disappointment @2Beez. We hate to see you go if that's what it's coming down to. 😔 There are so many feature requests that our Product teams receive on a daily basis, and they do their best to prioritize each one. If this feature ever becomes available, we'll update the Community and hopefully you'll get that notification when it happens!

How do I use my Square to send someone a link so they can send me money for a Gift Card?  Also, how do I allow them to add a tip to the amount?  All I have so far is their phone number.
