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!

PLEASE ADD A ROUND-UP CHANGE FEATURE!!!

We have 9 local businesses that want to donate proceeds to our non-profit organization through the round-up program. They don't have the reliability in all their employees to do the "quick math" and get it right. They also do not want the added need to keep a calculator near the register, as it adds to the customer's time in line. The conversation should be simple: "Your total is $23.57, would you like to round up to the next dollar, for $24, to donate to Habitat's Homeless Veteran Community Build?" If they say yes, the cashier simply clicks the "round-up" key/button, and the report shows that "item" in their reports. The cashier does not need to pull out a calculator and do the math, and the customer sees on their receipt "Habitat Round-up" (or something like that). That company then sends a donation check to our business at the end of the month/quarter, however, they want. For-profit businesses WANT this option, so they can reap the benefit of donating that money on the customer's behalf, and publicize that. Customers want to give back, with as little added time as possible. Quick and painless is their preference.

This is what everyone is looking for. I have recently researched this, MANY other POS systems have this already, at the same, or less cost. Businesses using other POS systems are donating "round-up" to us already. We've been happy with Square POS; but, ya'll are behind, and missing opportunities to keep/gain POS users. When does Square plan to roll out this kind of option. I've been asking for it since March2016, and being told, "we're working on it, should be soon".

Thanks for writing in, and letting us know this is something you'd like to see @lakelandbbq. While we don't have an update to share here at the moment, I'll highlight this feature request with our product team.

Yes!! This is a great tool that other retailers have offered for ages. It's a shame square doesn't have it.

Hi Joe, 

Sellers have been asking for this option for a really long time. Could you please give us an update on round up buttons? Our nonprofit runs a large greenhouse operation, and a round up button would make it possible for our supportive customers to donate their change at the touch of a button. Of course we can work around this by supplying each register with a calculator and having our associates do the math manually. We're speeding up our checkout processes by using Square, so slowing back down to calculate the roundup number is counterintuitive. I'd really like to see square working on this feature!

Thanks for reading!

bump.  This would also help with the national coin shortage.
