Donate discount

[JodyW]

Hi everybody...Square newbie here.  I'm setting up a 'book online' option for my inspection and notary services company.  I offer a 10% discount to Veterans and 1st Responders (Law Enforcement/Fire/EMT).  I want to be able to offer to them the ability to donate their discount to a charity my company supports.  I was attempting to put in a -10% on the discounts page that they could select the donation entry and it would flag it to add it back in, but note to me that it's a donation.  However, it doesn't like a 'negative' discount (I guess it views it as a mark-up?)  Any ideas on how I can make this happen?

Hmm, here's a possible work around.

Set up your 10% Discount item, and also create a $0 item called Donation.

When they want the discount, you add the 10% Discount item.

When they want to donate the 10% back, you add the $0 item called Donation.

You'd have to later manually calculate 10% of the transaction to see how much the donation would actually end up being, but by adding a $0 item called Donation, you can easily filter for transactions with the Donation through the Transaction tab on the Web Dashboard, and not affect the price of the sale.

Let me know if this works!

Whooops - I just noticed you said Online Bookings - All of this was for in-person on POS/Register, not sure how this would work for online bookings & orderings
