How to implement a tipping feature in Adalo?

Step 1: Create the Tipping Component

In Adalo, start by clicking the "+" button to add a new screen.
Choose a blank screen and name it "Tipping Screen."
Add a new icon or button that will serve as the "Tip" button on the main page where users can decide to tip.

Step 2: Add an Input Field for the Tip Amount

On the Tipping Screen, drag and drop an "Input" component from the left panel.
Name this input field "Tip Amount."
Set the input type to "Number" to ensure users can only enter numerical values.

Step 3: Configure the Payment Gateway

Go to the left panel and navigate to the "Components" section.
Search for "Stripe" or any other payment gateway component that Adalo supports.
Drag the payment component onto the Tipping Screen.
Configure the payment component by entering your Stripe API keys (these can be found in your Stripe dashboard).

Step 4: Link the Tip Amount to the Payment

In the payment component settings, set the amount to be paid dynamically.
Link this amount to the "Tip Amount" input field using Adalo's database linking feature.

Step 5: Store the Tip Data

Create a new collection in Adalo's database called "Tips."
Add fields such as "User", "Tip Amount", and "Timestamp".
Ensure that the "Submit" button for the payment component creates a new record in the "Tips" collection whenever a tip is successfully processed.

Step 6: Update the User Interface

Customize the design of the Tipping Screen and Tip button to match your app's theme.
Add any relevant messages or labels to guide the user through the tipping process.
Optionally, set up notifications or confirmation messages that inform the user once their tip has been successfully received.

Step 7: Test the Tipping Feature

Preview your app and navigate to the main page where the Tip button is located.
Click the Tip button to be redirected to the Tipping Screen.
Enter a tip amount and complete the payment process.
Check your Adalo database and Stripe dashboard to confirm the transaction and stored tip data.
Adjust any settings or fix any issues based on your test results.
