Collecting Auction Payments

There have been numerous questions asked in the forum about collecting auction information and payments. This is one way of doing it.
The form uses product[ ], the product is auction number, and all information (Auction number (567) & Item won (Toy Boat) is appended to the product on one line in the cart as shown.
Product Quantity Price Amount
Auction Number, 567, Toy Boat 23.95 23.95
All prices are in US Dollars Subtotal 23.95
Shipping 3.95
TOTAL 27.90
Note: If you input values and submit the form (below) to the cart, the shipping charge will not show up correctly due to the way I have my cart set up for shipping. Set your shipping option up to reflect the actual amount put into the shipping box. I am using option 3 with units set to .01, therefore to arrive at a $3.95 shipping cost, 395 had to be entered. This is probably too much to expect from a customer. Units is the field which sends this info to the cart.Probably a good idea would be to use option 3 and set units to 1.00 in admin which will then convert directly to a dollar amount.

</form>

Here’s one for two auctions. It uses the addmulti tag in the link. Each auction item will be shown on its own line within the cart and the shipping charges for both items will be totaled in the cart.

Auction Number: (if applicable)
Item Won:
Price: $
Shipping: $

Auction Number: (if applicable)
Item Won:
Price: $
Shipping $
To add additional auctions to the form, insert the following code between the
and

tags at the bottom within the table. To add a fourth, do the same but be sure to change the numbers to reflect the number of auctions you have within the form. The name/value qty stays at 1 because you’re only sending one of each to the cart.
