How To add Donation Option During Cart Checkout

[omojesu]

Need help with adding an option for customers to add a free will donation of any amount of their choosing to their cart during checkout (We are a charity/nonprofit organization). There are a few ways I have taught of to implement this:

1. Add donation amounts as products - This does not really meet our need as it will limit customers from donating amounts that are not in the product mix. Very limiting and ineffective.
   
2. Add a paypal donation link independent of the cart. Again, this is limiting as we will lose out of the opportunity to get donations if customers dont click the link or button no matter where we placce it on the site. Additionally, it is an extra step for customers to first complete their shopping and then back to click a donation link.
   
3. Add a donation module during checkout that customers can decide to add any amount of their choosing. This si most desirable. We currently have a one-page checkout that includes the option to add gift wrapping for a fixed amount. It will be fantastic if a similar module can be available for a free will amount.
   

Please advise if anyone has seen anything developed that closely mimics this need.

 

Thanks

We are also looking for this same option.

Hello. We just had a PrestaShop Donations Extension or Module built and it is working great. You can use whatever payment method you want and not just Paypal. We also added in the extra optional feature of Round up to Charity. It cost us a pretty penny to have this module built and then installed. It has been fully tested and is working perfectly. Below are some of its main features. If this is something you would like to look at for your own PS cart then contact us and we will help you out. The cost for the use of this module with installation will be $600.00 complete. We can show you it at work before purchasing. View attached file for a look at it. Reply to this thread for further details. 

 

Features List:

 

• Ability to add charities (customers will be able to select a fundraiser they want to donate to) drop down menu style. Ability to customize charity name in the back-end of extension, i.e. General Fund, Book Fund, TV Broadcast, Prison Outreach, etc.. A total of 5 editable options will suffice.

• Ability to enable donations on the last checkout step with round up option. Round Up option to nearest $ optional (Donation amount will be calculated as rounding of an order's total, i.e. if an order's total is $19,00 the donation amount will be $1.00). We believe this will allow to increase donations drastically)

• Full Donations Statistic

• Ability to specify a minimum donation amount

• Ability to accept donations even if no product is purchased. Even if we do not sell anything donation can be made. 

• Ability to see a donated amount for each charity

• Ability to define a default charity (it will be pre-selected on the front-end)

• Customers select charities in a user-friendly pop-up at the checkout page

• Donation field is visible in the Cart totals, on the Admin Order View page, Invoice page and printable PDF Invoice. Donation also needs to be visible on email confirmation page sent to customer upon completion of transaction. 

• Detailed reports of Donations accepted with ability to sort, filter and export to CSV, XML formats

• You can see a total donated amount and number of customers who gave donations. 

• Ability to edit orders with donations

• Ability to separate donations for tax donation purposes. Meaning donation amount can be kept distinct from merchandise amount

• 100% Open Source

Hello We are not out to take advantage of anyone. This was a long term investment for us as it no doubt will be for others looking for a similar module. The price we quoted was one we would have surely paid when we were originally looking. Of course we would be more than happy to consider offering it for less. Feel free to ask. Thanks

This looks like a great feature, just too pricy for a new business. ;(
