In Paymattic the Donation Progress Item is an essential feature for creating a Donation Form to add a list of items with a fixed price with a progress bar. This article will guide you on how to add the Donation Progress Item to the WordPress Site through Paymattic.

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.

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, choose a 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 or Create a Form using 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.

Remember, we always suggest you keep the Name and Email field at the beginning of any Form.

For example, I choose the Type “/” to insert fields option to select the Donation Progress Item field.
