Controlling the Total displayed on the BB Checkout Control

Mark Carney

We are trying to process two transactions against someones credit card but have them only push the finish and pay once.  The whole process is working well, but the dollar amount displayed is showing for the first transaction.  Is there any way to make the displayed value configurable.  This would make the user experience much better.

Hi Mark


Thanks for your question and it's definitely possible to give Checkout the total amount you wish to charge.  You can specify the amount that you wish to display on Blackbaud Checkout in the amount field passed in your JSON object.  Search for the amount parameter here for details. 


Let me know if this answers your question - or if you need additional help let us know how you are invoking the Checkout form today so we can provide more information.


Thanks!

Yes, that works for us. 


What I am trying to do is process a shopping cart made up of items, a payment and a gift.  I want the user to enter their card once and process the gift against Merchant account 1 and then with the token process the payment on Merchant count two.  So when we pass the amount of the gift transaction I do not want that to show to the user, what I really want to show is the Gift Amount + Payment Amount which is showing in our cart.  Really looking I think for an additional parameter of DisplayAmount that defaults to Amount unless you populate it with a different number.

OK I see, that's an interesting use case and I will share this with our team as feedback on the Checkout process.  


Thanks!
