I have created a Custom Field Type that generates a price. I need to pass that to the Total Field so that it can be picked up for Credit Card processing.

I can’t find any doc on how to do that.

Thanks

You’ll need to use the JS based [gform\_product\_total](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_product_total/) filter to include the value in the live total.

The PHP based [gform\_product\_info](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_product_info/) filter will also need to be used to include the field in the order details used by payment add-ons and the order summary table output by the {all\_fields} merge tag and on the entry details page.

Thanks for your quick and informative response.

One last question: What is the filter that can replace defining render, validation, submission, and admin-pre\_render filters? There is one, isn’t there?

Yes there is!

> This filter can be used to manipulate the Form Object, it is executed when the form meta is retrieved.
