@Alan,
1. We read these forums and they contain a whole bunch of useful information
2. We don't have fixed WA user group that rules WA roadmap,

When working on roadmap we have to consider a whole bunch of different sources, including, but not limited to support requests, business plans, compliance and security updates, etc.

As of current issue, we are well aware of its priority, and we plan to work on it soon. But I cannot make any promises, we're still developing our next year roadmap.

This is just one of many features that WA users have requested that have been outstanding for years. This, and the others, pose the questions:
1. Does WA product development read the requests in these forums?
2. If they do, why don't they respond and provide future development guidance?
3. Is there a WA User Group that works with WA product development to set feature development priority?
4. If there isn't a User Group, why isn't there one?
Look forward to a response that indicates that WA does read these forums and considers there current customers requests.
thanks
Alan
PS By the way this feature is also an urgent requirement for my club

This has been suggested for ages and still not done? It is the most serious shortcoming of the system

This would be tremendously helpful. I would also suggest adding the ability to purchase from your shop on a membership form.

If nothing else, this would tie up all of the ways for us to generate revenue into one source for one-stop shopping.

More important to me, it would allow for much better reporting, so I could see what donations are being made at membership, what additional perks they're purchasing through their membership.

Please enable an option to accept donations from members when they are renewing!

Can you please add a feature where members can donate when they renew their membership?

We are a charity, as well as a membership organisation and it would help fundraising immensly to have this option. We have been asking for this for nearly two years now, since I realised it was not available and I see it has been on the requested list for over ten years. What is the hold-up? This will enhance your offering a lot. Valerie Orton HSANZ

Absolutely a needed enhancement! Please put this on the top of the list. We'd attach it to all new and renewing memberships.

Having just implemented Wild Apricot for two organizations, it is very disappointing to not be able to have a member add a donation when joining or renewing. A VERY significant gap that likely costs us more than the annual fee for WA. Integrating donations with the renewal process so it is one paid transaction is a critical gap that was missed in our assessment of alternative products.

I suggest this solution until a donation option is enabled: On the "Registration Form" tab for the Event, click "Add New Field." Select the "Type" as "Extra Charge Calculation." Name the New Field something like, "Would you like to add a donation?" Set the "Multiplier" to "1" or another number if you want a different increment like 5 or 10 (i.e., in USA, $1 or $5 or $10 increments). Leave blank the entries for "Limit Order to ___ (min) to ___ (max)" or set a maximum if you wish. Enter any "Field Instructions" you want. Then click "Save" at the top left of the page.

That should allow adding a donation to whatever registration fee you set.

Wild Apricot absolutely needs to find a way to add a donation option to membership renewals. The current lack of ability to do this is creating barriers to our fundraising goals. It's cumbersome for people to have to do two transactions. This is a crucial feature for a charitable organization's website, and I know that other systems have the ability to do this. I (and I'm sure the many others in the comments below me) would very much appreciate some reassurance that this issue a priority for Wild Apricot with a solution in the works.

Is there a way to add the ability to make a donation to an event registration form? We would like to offer the user a chance to donate without having to return to the donation page. This donation should be added to their donation totals.

It would also be great if there was a way to optionally add the cost of the registration to the donation totals. I am sure that we are not the only organization that uses event registrations as a funding stream. Our events are a major source of our income, and currently they are NOT reflected on the donation list.

It would also be great to be able to offer a "pay what you can" membership or event fee in light of economic struggles in our world but also in a strive for equity.

Please enable the option to accept donations from members during renewal time!

I would also like to add a donation line to our subscription invoice as we are a charity and this is a good way to bring in some extra income. Looking forward to Wild Apricot listening to their customers and adding this feature.

thank you.

As a Charity, we would like to add a line for optional donation on the Membership renewal page also. Totally agree with all the below comments and I"m surprised it has been on the agenda for ten years. I invite Wild Apricot to bring this up the list of actions to improve the site. It seems that some customers are leaving because of lack of this feature. With over 1,000 members it is not possible to do this manually. I''m not sure why this is anonymous - I am Valerie from a medical specialist society

There is no good way to add a donation to a membership renewal processed manually. If we are using the WA payment system we must do separate transactions to renew membership and take a donation. This does not report the donation on the member's record. It also does not record the donation in the Donations reporting system, and there are donations we must report to the State Board of Elections. Please allow a drop-down in the membership payments that will facilitate these features.

Quickbooks classifies membership fees differently than donations. Currently we receive both membership fees and donations as a lump, undifferentiated pledge. This distorts our accounting classification and reporting results.

Wild Apricot should separate membership fees from the optional extra charge field when exporting/importing to quickbooks. In our situation we are using this field for members to add a donation when renewing/joining.

For nonprofits trying to stay afloat during COVID, virtual events and donations added into event registration is crucial. Please add this as soon as possible. Thank you!

The importance of this feature is not captured in a simple vote. It may not have more votes than a few ideas, but it is a fundamental requirement of charitable and not-for-profit associations.

Apricots, is it going to hit the feature list in an upcoming release?

I encourage all voters to remove their votes from ideas that currently rank higher on the wish list. Clearly common sense is not enough. Adjust your voting to ensure that this idea hits the development queue.
