Re: Round-up option for non-profit donation

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!

Will there ever be a "Round Up" feature? Or the ability to change TIP to say "Make a Donation"? I'm getting to the point where we may need to look at another software as Square keeps adding more new fees and has had 2 major service interruptions recently and can't even make a simple change that many nonprofits need like this option. The Rounding up would at least help us offset some of these fees so we can put more money to our charity.  It sound like this request has been made many years ago and has been ignored. It's concerning to me that Square isn't addressing an important and probably simple ask as many other systems are able to do it. I'm increasingly becoming frustrated with Square.

Hey @Gntsthriftshop

 

Thanks for joining the Community and thanks for reaching out to share your feedback. 

 

I went ahead and merged your post to an existing feature request where other Square Sellers have discussed this topic as well. Our Product Team keeps an eye on this forum as they are constantly improving our products based on feedback like this.

 

Note: We merge duplicate conversations together to keep like comments in one place, and to make it easier for others to find the thread in the future.

 

I appreciate your time and patience.

As a nonprofit, we would love to have this feature available! When can we expect it?

Don’t hold your breathe. Been asking for over 5yrs.

I know. I’m going to give up on square because of the loss of income this is causing. Researching other options now. 

Hey all - this was super useful! In case anyone's still thinking about this, we put together an automated solution that seems to be working well on our end. (it's a little hard to explain and includes the update payment API, so happy to help folks 1:1 if interested - just DM me!). 

We would love to have this feature.

As a non-profit, we would benefit greatly from this.  It has been discussed for many years, yet no action. I know other POS providers provide this capability.  We are researching those options as an alternative to Square.

People are simply not smart enough to do math these days. A round up feature, button, would be of great use as we don't use change. We would also like to add the option to round up your change for charity. Simply put, my employees are simply unable to calculate how much it is to round up to the nearest dollar so we need your tech to solve this please.

Adding to the list!
