Help Modifying PayPal Checkout to Include Total Amount + Additional person fee

[timurbeyii]

Hi there, I’m using a trial real estate script. I need help modifying the PayPal checkout feature to include the total amount. As of right now when someone tries to make a reservation, the checkout only includes the booking fee and the rest is instructed to be paid in person. I would like for the person to be able to pay for the booking and the amount for the stay.

I also wanted to add two additional feature. An additional fee option and a payment hold feature. So when ever you add an additional person there is a fee. There needs to be a backend option available where the user will be able to include their own amount.
For the payment hold feature, when ever someone makes a payment, the merchant doesn’t get paid until 24 hours after the person arrives. Which means, when customers make payments, the payment is sent to the company paypal account, the company holds the payment, and the payment is released the day after the guest arrives.

Im using a third party script from www.cubescripts.com. You can view their demo to http://www.cubescripts.com/real-estate-script/.

Hmmm, well, since we do not see any code and none of use have that third party script to view, you will
have to either show some code or ask them on their site.

Usually, in general, you can find support on how to add fields on Paypal’s site. They do have a lot of help
in their forum section. I did a google it and found a lot of info, the best on Paypal’s site. But, show us some
sample code and explain what part is not working and we can probably help.

As far as the 24 hour hold on payments, if you hold payment to the third party merchant, how do they do
the notification that the guest showed up? Hard to understand how a system works without seeing a lot
of the code. But, maybe examples of adding fields might help you.

Here is a link on Paypal where someone asked how to add a field and it has an example with comments.
It might help you get started. You will have to read the sample code it shows and read the comments and
fit it into your code. Once you get stuck, post some code here and maybe one of us can help.

Here is a link on how to force an entry. You could use this for making the user read a disclaimer that it takes
24 hours for payment to be processed. In that way, you can add a checkmark that they are forced to check
after reading the details.

Not really sure if this helps or not. But, hope you solve it. Good luck!
