   We're considering to take Donations during registrations/applications into development right now, but during analysis of the feature we ran into an issue where we would love to hear your feedback.

   
   

   Essense of question: how would you like donations during applications or registration to be processed for offline payments (when your member/prospect decided to get an invoice and pay later)?

   
   

   Some more details:

   We can implement donations during event registrations/membership renewals for online payments - not a problem. 

   But when we're talking about offline payments, straighforward solution seems to be a bit expensive - we don't have invoices for donations or pledges yet.

   
   

   So right now we're considering going on with straighforward online payments solution (donation will be added to payment transaction) and for offline payments - just include an invoice memo to buyer to add $XXX to his payment as donation for event/membership he has selected. 

   
   

   This way administrators would have to manually record donations if they receive extra payment and we could deliver this update soon.

   
   

   What do you think on proposed solution?

   Yes, integrating donations into the renewal process is still something we really need, too! Adding extra charges to memberships and renewals ALMOST solves this. The problem is that the extra charges are tracked as membership income, not as donations.

   It would be great if there were options within the "Renewal policy" and "New applications" tabs whereby we could opt to "add donation fields" to the membership and/or renewal forms for each membership level. Taking one payment and then getting WA to track the donation and membership amounts separately might not be simple, but it is still a really important challenge to tackle.
