Hi, I have a pricing dropdown on page 1 populated with data from an option set. ![Screen Shot 2022-11-25 at 5.29.56 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/b/3/b3d05f355c5e317d0244a76f99fff63885dac0e2.png) Then I want to be able to access the pricing information (option set) attribute of each dropdown selection on the next page, when the “Pay” button (shown below) is clicked. I intend to use this data here… ![Screen Shot 2022-11-25 at 5.30.33 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/c/a/ca7a45d4956522092d068ae7221e6dbbc13c87bb.png) When the “Pay” button is clicked, here the data I set the page to send to the next page… ![Screen Shot 2022-11-25 at 5.53.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/6/7/6727f54b5feca076c60abbe24f394c5f80911b50.png) I can’t find this data on the next page however. Please how should I go about this? Thanks. ---

What’s your checkout page’s data type? When you do the “Data to send” it is usually retrieved by “Current page’s [thing]” on that page ---

Hi Tyler, I don’t have any data type assigned as the options displayed are not relevant. Just these three… ![Screen Shot 2022-11-25 at 7.19.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/4/0/4073baf8e99ff2d41441e9d94f645cfce1cceef2.png) ---

That dropdown where you pick the monthly plans, is that a data type you’re doing to get different plans? If so set your page to that data type then the Data to send to page is your Dropdown’s value ---

@mikeloc I see you over there 👀 Seems odd Bubble doesn’t let you set a page to an option sets value… Maybe it’s to encourage using a data type instead. See what mike says his method is going to be better than mine ---

Hi there, @Buddha… you could go with a URL parameter on this one. If you want to go this route, change your workflow action to send a parameter like this (note that you can name the parameter anything you want, and I probably wouldn’t call it “pay” so it’s not so obvious that it is the payment amount). ![param](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/f/df121e58e6e75986973c30fc4158ddbec224560a.png) Then, on the checkout page, use the _Get data from page URL_ option in the element that displays the payment amount, and configure it like this. ![pay](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/2/e/2e0912a055afe5881ae345fe78e2efd5ac8ee450.png) Just make sure the _Parameter name_ is exactly the same as what you typed for the _Key_ in the workflow action. Hope this helps. Best… Mike ---

My concern with URL parameter is someone tampering with the URL and typing in a custom amount. Maybe instead the URL parameter type be the actual option set type? And add a new attribute to the option set with the price. Or switch to a datatype at this point. ---

Yeah, good point… even if it’s unlikely, having someone tamper with the amount is still a possibility, so it certainly makes sense to avoid it. The good thing is that the option set [already has the attribute](http://forum.bubble.io/t/change-value-of-text-based-on-dropdown-selection/234083) on it. So, @Buddha… you should go this route if you are going to use a URL parameter. ![plan](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/8/2/8293441b563d0a7ab34b6494cd0157a4a00f5e0e.png) ![filter](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/0/0/001878a138e51f174d3737587565c80175bb9c70.png) ---

Thanks Mike! I’ll try this. Also, out of curiosity, is it possible to set these value in a state, then send the state to the next page…and be able to retrieve the values? Regards. ---

> [@Buddha](#): > > is it possible to set these value in a state, then send the state to the next page No… custom states can’t be sent from page to page. If you wanted to send a custom state’s value from one page to another, you would probably be using a URL parameter (or the database) anyway, so there is no need to insert a custom state into the mix on this one. ---

Your other option would be keeping your checkout elements on the same as your plan picking page, so you could use show/hide or custom states in that case. ---

Didn’t know I could do that. Thanks.
