**Donation Progress Item** is a free feature except for the **Recurring Amount**and **Custom Amount** option and to use these two options in your field, you need [**Paymattic Pro Plugin**](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-install-and-activate-paymattic-in-wordpress/#1-toc-title)**.**

## Adding Donation Progress Item Field

To learn how to add the Donation Progress Item to the Paymattic Donation Form on your WordPress site, follow the steps with the screenshots below –  

First, go to the **All Forms**section from the **Pymattic Navbar,**choosea**Form,**and click the **Pencil/Edit** icon to open the **Editor** page of that form.

If you do not have any existing forms, read this [Create a Form from Scratch](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-create-a-form-from-scratch-with-paymattic/) or [Create a Form using Templates](https://paymattic.com/docs/simple-form-templates/) documentation to create one.

For example, I choose an existing form to show the whole process.

Once you open the **Editor** page, add the Donation Progress Item fields by typing the**“ / ”**or clicking the **Plus Icon** placed at the bottom.
