Option for specifying name in Razorpay donations

BS Badri Sunderarajan Public Seen by 2

Edvin (on the Durare support group) is setting up expense tracking on Baserow, where we are tracking all expenses including donations.

Currently, Navodaya donations are tied to email address, which we don't want to make public. There is also no way for donors to indicate whether they want their donation to be anonymous or not.

To solve this, Edvin suggested adding an optional "Name" field in the Razorpay donation form. If people want to be publicly credited they can add their name there, and if not they will be anonymous by default. We could add a description (or worst case include in the field title itself) something like,

(optional) fill this if you want to be publicly credited for your donation; otherwise it will remain anonymous

Edvin has already made the "email" option is already private, but this will give an option to list donors who want their donations to be public.

Found the original message from Edvin:

Hey folks.

Right now, for donations via Navodaya/Razorpay, we only get the email address of the person who donated.

The email shouldn't be made public, but they might want their name in the donations page.

So it it possible to customise the Razorpay donation page to ask for an optional name to be displayed on the site?
