Re: Round-up option for non-profit donation

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!

Here's my two cents for rounding up.  It'd be a lovely thing for Square to help small businesses setup charitable donations in our communities.  Think of the impact, Square!

Adding my $.02 here. I'd love to give our customers an opportunity to roundup/donate to getting #morekidsonbikes. Square, allow your business owners to provide customers the opportunity to do something beyond themselves; to make a positive difference in the world.

We have a fireworks business. All of our locations help fund a local non profit organization. It would be nice to have a round up feature to help them even more. Please take this request seriously. 

I'm also looking for this because we are having so much trouble getting coins from the bank. We literally do not have the coins to make change. A round up feature would be perfect!

I'd like to reiterate our desire for an automatic 'round up' function that would round the transaction up to the nearest dollar.

Hi @jjgard

Although we don't have that feature yet, we will be updating this thread if we launch it in the future. 

 

I'll be passing on your feedback. 

 

Thank you!

Here to add to the demand for a "round up" feature. This is an important part of our brand and mission as a community-oriented small business.  It's really a shocking lack that Square hasn't addressed this yet.  This will be even more of a lack during the upcoming holiday season. 

 

Shopify can round up. 

Vend can round up. 

Clover can round up. 

eHopper can round up. 

CheckRedi can round up. 

 

I don't understand why Square can't even respond to this topic and let us know when this is coming, or why they won't do it.  When I chose Square, just a few months ago, I assumed this would work. It is enough of an issue to that I will consider moving to another platform.

Thanks for posting, @gribley We appreciate the added feedback. 

 

I don't have any updates to share at this time, but we will make sure to forward this information to the teams. 

Here here!  Agreed, its been a very long time since Square started receiving these requests.  All sorts of platforms allow businesses to "round-up for charity," and we have a few shops that we are sometimes the round-up option for.  But our customers in-house still cannot "round up" to donate.

YES!
