    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…

    Like many other contributors, our organisation relies heavily on our members adding a donation at the time they renew. We introduced the feature four years ago, at the same time we reduced our membership fee. Our total revenue increased by over thirty percent. I have added a donation amount field (under membership) which is editable by the member to donate any amount. This works well on screen. But need it to automatically add to the email confirming online renewal with the donation as a separate line. It doesn't, but it can be made to do via manual process. If I manually renew a member who has included a donation, and then create an invoice, the invoice has the two amounts, each on its own line. The thought of having to do this 300 time a year is not ideal. For us, as a new user of WA, this feature is very close to the top of must haves.
