Hi.
I was wondering if the ecommerce software has the capability of allowing a customer to round up his order to the next dollar as a donation to a charity. Our charity is www.AidtheChildren.com, a 501C3 organization.

Thanks.
Paul

Hi Paul

I'm afraid there isn't a feature for that and I can't see a simple workaround.

Ok. Thank you.

I can develop this with javascript and use the donations page to add the fee to the cart. No mods to the core files.
Contact me for details.

For anyone who wants to see this demo, I have a link below.

The donate button will not show until a shipping option has been selected on the last stage of checkout.
After tax and all in grand total, we check to see what that amount is.
Then we display a button (can be dressed up to look like other button on your site) and it have a hover title with some info.
We can add a tool tip popup there if needed.
Clicking the button loops through the donations page and adds to cart.
The shopper will proceed back to checkout where the donate button is replaced with a thank you button.
If the user selects a different shipping option, they will not be asked to round up again.
If the user goes back to cart and removes the donation, then the button will ask them to round up again.

If the customers cart already has an even number, they will not be presented with a round up option.

This dev site has no ssl, so you may see a security warning.
This link is to a product that has a non even price, so it's good to test with.
Just add to cart and enter an address and you should see the button. Click the button to add the donation.

This is updater proof and is a very easy addition to your cart.asp or cart.php page

Everything seems to work really well! However, when routed back to checkout you have to reenter your details (name, address, phone, etc) is there a way to keep that info or go directly to the page where the button is located?

Not with this simple solution.
I designed this working off some code I had already done for my site where we offer rush upgrade services.
Hundreds of customers have used it and not one single customer has complained of having to go through checkout again.
I also suspect that a good number of customers have saved their info, or auto populates with their browser.

It's really designed to work, and be updater proof. I am sure there are other ways to do it, and maybe I am overlooking some other trick to get it in the cart without looping back through checkout, but again, it works and I am giving it away free...
