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…

We have an annual conference every year. We also have an educational program. Some of our attendees are not the wealthiest in the world, and so we offer them a payment plan to pay for their conference ticket on a 10 month plan, or their educational program on a 10 or 12 month plan.
This becomes not just a convenience for our members, BUT, it also serves to increase attendance at these events, because people who are terrible savers, can make it due to the payment plan.
Right now, our Finance Director is putting through manual invoices every month. It takes her hours, because there are quite a few (to say the least). Being able to offer a registration type in events that is a monthly payment plan would be such a huge time saver for us. I can begin to tell you what a difference it would make.
Thanks

We are really excited to hear about the shopping cart solution that would allow one payment for multiple items (membership, events, sponsorships, donations, etc.). We have an annual conference, where many of our members purchase multiple things, and it is a pain for them to make separate payments for each one.
Also - I saw that you are thinking about allowing donations at the same time as starting a new membership. This is great - but we would also like this for when people are RENEWING their membership. We would like people who can afford to help out, to pay for someone else's membership who cannot afford it... They could do this on an annual basis when they renew.
Thanks for all you are doing - and congrats on such a smooth implementation of v5. You must have a fantastic QA team as well as programming team.
