Hi @MOWSonora, and thanks for dropping into the Seller Community! 👋
I think I see the confusion with this one - this can be a little tricky, so I'll walk through it with you here. To set up the custom donation field, all you need to do is ensure that the Allow custom donation amounts option is toggled ON.
Once you've made sure this is on, a custom donation field will automatically appear with your set donation amounts, and will look something like this:
See the $0.00 space above, in the first screenshot? This is where people visiting your website will be able to enter in an amount of their choosing. In the screenshot to the right, you can see what this looks like when someone enters in a custom donation amount.
I think what may have tripped you up a bit here is the option to add a text box below the donation options. The text box is more to allow people to add a message to their donation, as shown below:
I hope that this helps make more sense of how to set up custom donation amounts, but please let us know if questions are still popping up!

Hi hi! It's not possible to request donations in lieu of tips using the tip feature, @FairTradeShop.
Other have asked for this capability, and I recommend subscribing to this thread so that you will receive a notification when we post an update there, as we will be sure to announce if a change is made that affects the way this works!
To your second question: recurring donations are possible with Square Online checkout links!
This is what it might look like using a Square Online checkout link to allow customers to donate on a recurring basis. It's not currently possible to collect customer card information for recurring subscription-style payments without using Square Online checkout links. I hope this helps clarify how these tools can be used ✨
