CiviCRM + Webform + Paid Events - no price displayed in table

Question

I'm using Webforms for events because I have a parent/carer booking up to three children onto a holiday club.

I am struggling with the price. I have a contribution page set up (I've tried with and without a price set), and I have the Participant fee exposed with the values defined (user select: 1 day, 2 days or 3 days).

When I click 'Next' to display the contribution page/table, it always says 0.00 with no row in the table to display the price of the event registration. I can't see anything similar online and I'm not sure what I'm missing?

Possibly a separate issue: I'm using PayPal Standard as the payment processor but when I 'Submit', it' doesn't go to PayPal's website to take the payment. Is it compatible yet?

If I add a 'Contribution Amount' field, it adds that to the table - in the meantime, I'm using conditionals to populate this field. I wasn't expecting to need that field.

Some thoughts:

ad $0 ->

• do you have the Event (in CiviCRM) configured as an is-paid event?

• are you already registered perhaps? It is clever enough to know you
  do not need to pay again. So you'll be deleting your Participant records lots when you're testing a Webform CiviCRM that has an Event enabled;

ad on building your Participant Fee ->

• create regular drupal select and/or checkboxes to gather the data you need to build the Participant Fee Then use Conditionals to say:
• if select = full day (example) and category = student -> then Participant Fee is set to: $50; if select = half day (example) and category = student -> then Participant Fee is set to: $30; if select = half day (example) and category = regular -> then Participant Fee is set to: $90;

Key is you need to build your own Participant Fee - of course this is also what gives you huge flexibility as to what you can create.

I have some code in testing/review that will check the priceset that is configured on a contribution form in order to create lineItems with the correct price_field_value_id - that's critical financial types (and thus sales taxes to be applied properly), under some conditions. You'll know what I mean when you do encounter it yourself. It's the first bit we actually do with priceset configs in Webform CiviCRM.

What you can (recently) do is add more lineItems to a contribution [purchase calendar + make a donation scenario] - and it will create a contribution with two lineItems - priceset like. But for Event fee you can build the conditionals - and even add in discount codes - as I've illustrated here: How can I emulate a CiviDiscount when using Webform CiviCRM?

I hope that helps you along. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask.
