Is there any way to suggest donations in the same manner as tipping at the end of the sale?

As a non profit with a shop, it would be lovely for the buyer to be prompted to add a donation in the same manner as tipping is handled.  Is this available or does someone know a work around?

I run a non-profit and need to change the invoice from stating"TIP' to "DONATION"

This is something that you won't be able to edit as far as I know.

Hello @gatheringindust!

Currently you cannot change the tip option to say "donation" on the Point of Sale App. If this is something you need, you could create it on our Point of Sale API. Building a custom Point of Sale app does require a bit of coding, so I recommend hiring a developer if you go this route.

I would also like to voice my support for a feature like this. It seems like a no-brainer feature that would benefit so many of your customers.

I see that no one has commented on this thread in almost a year. I am new to the Square Register, but as a nonprofit thrift store, a donation option at the end of every transaction would be amazing.

 Can the word “tip”  be changed to “donate“?

Hey @rabbitmeadows - Unfortunately, there isn't a way to edit that, but I've added your post to a feature request thread for a donation section of checkout. You should get alerted if we add any updates to this thread if this feature becomes available.

So, the first comment requesting this tips-->donations feature is from 3 years ago; I've been checking every 6 months or so to see if there's any progress on it. Square has made any number of changes to their platform in the past few years, but as far as I can tell it's mostly just moving stuff around and changing the names of things rather than adding functionality. You do have programmers on staff over there, right? 🙂

I know we non-profiteers are probably not a huge chunk of your revenue, but I'd hope that supporting small nonprofits would be somewhere on Squareup's list of priorities. This is a simple thing that could be a huge help to a lot of little community organizations.

Thanks,

I couldn't have said it better.  I know of so many organizations that would take advantage of this.  Instead, we just do without or don't even bother.  It should be as simple as a switch (Tips/Donations).  A slight variation in screen and then done.  We've been looking at DipJar for something like this but then their system isn't a PoS it's just straight donations.  It's just frustrating because I feel like we were led to believe this was on the horizon.

@EJ_ any news?  I've been watching this thread for a while and we would REALLY like to deploy this feature too.  For our retail/non-profit combo.  I added a comment over in the "feature request" thread that was started but I see there is a lot more chatter over here 🙂
