SureCart has a few options for how to set up prices for your products or even collect donations for your fundraisers. This option is called the Pay What You Want option.
In this article, you’ll learn about this payment option, and see how you can set it up in SureCart to start collecting donations from the users.
What is Donation/Pay What You Want
Pay What You Want (PWYW) or Donation pricing is a flexible pricing strategy where customers have the freedom to determine the price they are willing to pay for a product or service.
Instead of a fixed or predetermined price, PWYW allows customers to choose the amount they believe the product or service is worth to them.
This approach is also sometimes referred to as “Pay What You Can” or “Donation.”
And if you’re using SureCart, you can easily create pricings with Pay What You Want/Donation pricing in SureCart easily.
