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!

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!

We would love to have a round up button!

I can see that the request for a "round up" button goes back to 2016. Square, it's 2022, when can we really expect to see this feature???

I can't believe this feature does not yet exist!

Is this feature any where in development Square?

Love this idea, not to sound dumb, but how would the accounting work? Do Tips auto deposit and you need to pull them out of the auto deposit if using as a donation?

Hello @RobinM, 

Welcome back to our Seller Community! 

At this time, we don’t have an update to provide on this feature. We will make sure to let you know if we have more details related to this. 

Have a good day!

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".
