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!

I know for in-store transactions you can enable the tip function and just name it donation. Haven’t played with the online stores but one possible solution that comes to mind would be to add an item called donations with either a selection of different amounts or if possible a variable amount. Again I haven’t played with the online store so no clue if that would work. Not possible with the existing system to have it automatically round up and send the funds to someone else’s account though

I came here searching to see if this feature was available. It would drive Square's revenues up too bc of the added fees they'd get from the increased transaction total (unless they did a really cool thing and didn't charge a fee on round ups as a contribution to the various causes). How likely is it to become available at this point, Square Team? Thanks for all you do. 

So sad to see that it has been almost three years since this thread was created and there is still no round up feature.

I agree.

Please Square, add a **bleep** round up feature! 

I know others want this also.  Just a quick easy way to round the total to the next whole dollar. Make it non-taxable option and a line item on report for donating to charity. Let’s go Square!

Hi there, @WhiskeyCharlie - I've gone ahead and merged your post into an existing thread of Sellers who were also looking for information regarding this Feature Request. Once we have an update for everyone, we will roll back here and give a heads up once we're live.

 

Thanks for taking the time to write in! 

I would also love to see an option available so we could opt to round to the nearest nickel/dime/quarter to do away with pennies in our establishment!  

I am adding my one cent to round up.. would think it would not take 3 years for this feature. Our company looking to do the same thing right now…
