# How to Add Custom Payment Amount Field in WordPress with Paymattic?

In [Paymattic](https://paymattic.com/), the **Custom Payment Amount**field allows users to pay any amount based on their needs. This article will guide you on how to embed the Custom Payment Amount field to the WordPress Site through Paymattic.

## Adding Custom Payment Amount Field

To learn how to add the Custom Payment Amount field to the Paymattic 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 form, 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 **Custom Payment Amount**fields by typing the**“ / ”**or clicking the **Plus Icon** placed at the bottom.

We always suggest you keep the [**Name**](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-use-general-form-input-fields-in-wordpress-with-paymattic/#5-toc-title) and [**Email**](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-use-general-form-input-fields-in-wordpress-with-paymattic/#6-toc-title) field at the beginning of any Form.

For example, I choose the **Pluc Icon**option to select the **Custom Payment Amount**field under the **Donation & Product Fields** section from the**Choose Form Field**page.

Also, do not forget to add a [**Payment Method Field**](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-use-the-payment-method-fields-section/) for collecting payments.
