Need option to pay actual cost of install #74

Closed bhny closed 5 years ago

bhny commented 5 years ago

Installs are costing us about $240 so if someone can afford that we should encourage the option. Here's my rough proposal-

OlivierMorf commented 5 years ago

I would have the $240 first, preselected, with option to choose the $110 on second position

bhny commented 5 years ago

I chose this as the least controversial option so we can do it straight away. Changing defaults requires some debate and changing a lot of other pages and outreach material.

jedahan commented 5 years ago

I'd recommend changing the punctuation to separate out the $160 - 50 reading which feels like a range to me. example:

The NYC Mesh subsidized install costs $160. The installer receives $50 for their labour, and $110 helps cover some of the equipment. The total bill is due upon completion.

The full cost of equipment is $240, so if you can afford to, please select that option.

Since you're already including the costs in the radio dials I think you can cut out most of the description like:

Thank you for installing a mesh node!

In addition to Parts and Equipment, NYC Mesh installation costs $50 paid to your installer directly.

Parts and Equipment

[x] $240 (Full cost of equipment)
[ ] $110 (Subsidized by donors)

Please also subscribe me to a monthly donation

[ ] $100 (business)
[ ] $50
[x] $20
[ ] I do not wish to continually support NYC Mesh
```
                 [Pay with Card]
```

I also switched the defaults and ordering, but that sounds like it's an entirely different issue

Also wanted to flag that there are two similar pages that his thread could be referring to: https://www.nycmesh.net/invoice https://www.nycmesh.net/pay

Is one of those pages deprecated or do both of them need to be updated?

nuyawktuah commented 5 years ago

Those are both in use -- I think /invoice is used when we do installs at a business

bhny commented 5 years ago

yes invoice is for business and has url params to set the amount

apackin commented 5 years ago

Opened a pr for small changes to copy https://github.com/nycmeshnet/nycmesh.net/pull/78

I'd love to learn more about why there are separate pages for business/home installs. Does having the body text describing the payment breakdown add something to residential mesh members that business members don't need? Do businesses not pay the additional $50 labor fee separately?

It looks like you still have the code for using an a query param on the pay240 page as in https://www.nycmesh.net/pay240?a=500, but it doesn't update the description text. Is the query param deprecated on that page or should it be used to update the description text as well as the Parts and Equipment amount?
