Round-up option for non-profit donation

[pljcs]

Square, please add this right away.  I have been asking you all for this for literally years (as a nonprofit ourselves, we would like to give patrons an option to round up to donate to us), but businesses also need the option to help local charities.  When change is in short supply as it is now, this is even more important than ever.  It's undoubtedly a simple option to add, and most of your competitors have it.

Thank you!

The only thing I can think of is to add a "Round Up" item to your inventory, make it non-taxable and leave the price blank so you can manually enter the necessary amount.  I'm pretty sure there is no button that will automatically round up in Square right now.

You nailed it @GlassJudy, that is the best way to handle this option currently.

The only thing I'm not sure of is the non-taxable part.  Rounding up wouldn't be subject to sales tax, but it should be subject to income tax as unearned income.

Are you any closer to releasing this requested feature?

I am also looking for the round-up for non-profit donation feature.  Would you please provide info? - Blend Coffee Bar, Ashburn, va

Hi @BlendCoffeeBar!

There's no updates or new information to give at this time around rounding up for our donations but the Product team has been made aware of these requests.

If it's ever implemented, we'll be sure to update the thread as well.

This should be on priority list at Square for programming. All the numbers are already there and it would be easy to program it!

In an age where society is more socially aware of people in the margins, it provides a way for your retail customers to better serve their communities. 

I suggest making this EASY FIX before the holidays hit and let your users help people at large! I'm sure Square is interested in that as well:)

@thirdspace I definitely hear you on this feature. We'll keep passing along these requests to our product teams. Appreciate you hanging in there with us.

Our non-profit would like to have a "round-up" feature for our customers to quickly and easily make small donations. I've read on older threads that this is not available with Square. Does anyone know if Square is working to implement such a feature? It would obviously benefit many non-profts to have it as an option, and to save our volunteer cashiers from having to mentally do the math each time.

Hey there, @HFHWFC - thanks so much for adding your voice here on the Seller Community. Always grateful to see new faces!

This is definitely something that others have been asking for, as well. I went ahead and merged your post into a thread where other Sellers have requested this feature also. 

I can confirm that our Product Team is keeping tabs on this request for future development considerations. This is something that I think would be extremely beneficial to Sellers and charities, alike. I will be sure to update this thread when there is news to share.

Thanks so much again for your input! Hope to hear more from you soon.
