Non editable prepopulation
If you do not want that the prepopulated field is editable add a "_fix" to the parameter.
For example: "first_name_fix", "amount_fix", "donation_custom_field_123_fix".
Attention: fixing values will prevent the donor to change or correct values. Use it with care.
Session-API
You can use also the Session API for form value prepopulation. This offers you various advantages.
