Donation button???

We're a nonprofit and want to accept donations. If someone knows how to do this, let me know, but it doesn't look like it's possible?

We want a donation button where the person enters the amount they want to donate, and it sends us the dollars, of course, as well as their name and contact info so that we can send them a "thank you" and a donation receipt.

This would be an ideal use for a variable price item. Check the Shopsite documentation for how to set it up.

You would need to have a ShopSite Pro level store and then you could use the Variable Price product. This would allow people to enter what ever amount they would like.

You could also use a product with order options for various amounts that they would like to give. This could be done in Pro and Manager level stores using the Order Option Pricing.

Also note that the Variable Price option for products was added to Manager stores in the new ShopSite 10 sp1, so if you have Manager and not Pro and if your store is hosted on a Linux server (ShopSite 10 sp1 will be available on other server platforms soon, but currently only for Linux servers) then you could ask your ShopSite reseller about upgrading your store.
