Point of Sale Donations

During the sales process, you can accept donations. This provides your organization with an opportunity to reach out and solicit a donation at the point of sale. For efficiency, you can process donations in the same transaction along with other purchases the patron makes. For example, a patron can buy tickets to an event, purchase a membership, and donate to your organization all through a single transaction.

For efficiency, you can configure a default amount and designation for donations processed through advance sales. After donation defaults are configured, when you add a donation to an order in advance sales, the default amount and designation are automatically displayed on the Add a donation form. This may be helpful if your organization receives the majority of point of sale donations in a common amount for the same campaign. The designation and amount you configure here are defaults only and can be changed when the donation is accepted.

Note: Fundraising purposes and their related designations must be added to the system before you can configure point of sale donations. You add fundraising purposes from the Fundraising page.
