How to Create WordPress Online Payment Forms and Donation Forms?

In this in-depth tutorial I’m going to show you how to create WordPress online payment forms and donation forms without any fancy e-commerce plugin. I will show you how to create these types of forms:

  • WordPress donation form
  • WordPress online payment forms with pre-defined amount
  • Payment form multiple product, conditional logic and shipping information
  • WordPress multi-step payment form with quantity selection.

This is one of the forms I created during this tutorial.

Shortcodes and CSS used in the video

In the tutorial I showed couple of shortcodes you can use to tweak your forms.

  1. Show payment total: {payment_total}
  2. Hide field for frontend users (used in form with pre-defined amount): ff_force_hide

CSS code for shipping, billing and coupon fields

/* SHIPPING AND PAYMENT FIELD HIGHLIGHT */
.shipping, .payment {
    background: #f9f9f9;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    padding: 20px;
}
/* COUPON FIELD HIGHLIGHT */
.coupon {
    border: 2px dashed #000;
    padding: 20px;
}
/* APPLY COUPON BUTTON */
.fluentform .ff_input-group-text {
    color: #000;
    background-color: #ffcc00;

}

Here are some of my favorite WordPress tools

Thanks for reading this article! I hope it's been useful as you work on your own websites and e-commerce sites. I wanted to share some tools I use as a WordPress developer, and I think you'll find them helpful too.

Just so you know, these are affiliate links. If you decide to use any of them, I'll earn a commission. This helps me create tutorials and YouTube videos. But honestly, I genuinely use and recommend these tools to my friends and family as well. Your support keeps me creating content that benefits everyone.

Themes: Over the past few years, I've consistently relied on two primary themes for all sorts of projects: the Blocksy theme and the Kadence Theme. If you explore this website and my YouTube channel, you'll come across numerous tutorials that delve into these themes. If you're interested in obtaining a 10% discount for both of these themes, then:

Code Snippets Manager: WPCodeBox allows you to add code snippets to your site. Not only that, but it also provides you with the capability to construct and oversee your WordPress Code Snippets library right in the cloud. You can grab it with the 20% discount here (SAVE 20% Coupon: WPSH20).

Contact forms: There are hundreds of contact forms out there but Fluent Forms is the one I like the most. If you need a 20% discount then use this link (save 20% coupon is WPSH20).

Gutenberg add-ons: If I need a good Gutenberg blocks add-on then Kadence Blocks is the one I have used the most. You’ll get a 10% discount with the coupon SIMPLEHACKS here.

Website migration: While building a website you probably need a good plugin that can help you with the migration, backups, restoration, and staging sites. Well, WpVivid is the one I have used for the last couple of years. If you use this link along with the WPSH20 coupon you’ll get a 20% discount.

Woocommerce extensions: There are a bunch of Woocommerce extensions that I like but the one that stands out is Advanced Dynamic Pricing. Once again, you’ll get a 20% discount if you use this link here (save 20% coupon is WPSH20)

Web Hosting: If you would like to have a really fast and easy-to-use managed cloud hosting, then I recommend Verpex Hosting (see my review here). By the way, this site is hosted in Verpex.)
