Would you please consider also one-time custom payment where the amount is chosen by member (donor)? Thank you.

Unfortunately the Stripe API requires the price to be set at time of the price creation, so I do not believe this is possible.

Old discourse donations plugin was doing just that..  
[Add custom amount input by angusmcleod · Pull Request #11 · chrisbeach/discourse-donations · GitHub](https://github.com/chrisbeach/discourse-donations/pull/11)

Not sure if this is compatible with your re-worked API.. 🤞

It might be possible to use the Charge API I suppose to do this. But it’s bottom of the list for now. Gotta get some other items completed first!

I’ve been doing a bit of research on this in the last week. I believe the only way we’ll be able to reasonably implement custom payments is for one-time purchase tiers only. Due to the way subscriptions work in Stripe, it will not be feasible to implement pay-what-you-want on recurring subs.
