3.4 Deposit Funds

For some reason, you may also not want to use the deposit_funds.htmlt template, allowing members to deposit funds into their account. You can create your own web page, allowing members to deposit funds into their account, by completing the following:

First, you need a <FORM> tag, which will be:

<form action="index.cgi?~authtext~&action=deposit_funds" method="POST">

The only required text field is to allow members to enter in the amount, they would like to deposit, and will be:

<input type="text" name="amount">

Then the member's default deposit payment method on their account will be physically charged for the specified amount. Of course, if wanted, you can use a hidden form field instead to specify the amount for the member, such as:

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="14.95">

Last, you simply need to add a submit button to the form, such as:

<input type="submit" value="Deposit Funds">
