Many thanks for your comments and feedback in this thread - it was super helpful for us in analysis and design of the feature.
I'm happy to announce that we're working on adding donations to compensate payment processing fees. This feature will be released later this year.Some design decisions I wanted to speak out explicitly:
1. We decided to proceed with optional donations to compensate credit card processing fees as opposed to surcharges/convenience fee.
Main reasons for this is that there are too many regulations around mandatory charges to compensate fees: it's illegal in some countries/states, there are caps on how much you could charge, etc. To avoid all of this legal complications we decided to suggest members to opt-in to compensate processing fees, as opposed to make them obligatory.
All these transactions will be recorded as donations in WA and can be later used for tax deduction.2. You…

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…

Our jury-rigged solution of adding "donation" fields into the membership database has been working but does not log the information as donations into the system. So we are very! interested in seeing this modification. Our treasurer can live with the offline extra effort - which I believe is happening today when someone sends in a donation check. But we really do need to know our donors. It sounds like the April 17th 2024 proposal will work for us. When???

Commented in 2021, just adding a comment here in 2022 - really want/need this feature - we are a not for profit and collect donations for geology students.

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

It is frustrating to be able to set a time on regular emails from the system, but not from the event dashboard. I guess that is a work-around, don't use the announcement emails, but they are convenient for other reasons. I realize the time is not always exact, but it's much better than having to set an inappropriate time for the event to start.

Definitely need to integrate refunds through AffiniPay with Wild Apricot. The member can sign up for an event seamlessly (WA w/Affinipay) - it only makes sense (as well as reduces confusion) for the cancellation to be handled identically.

And if you can record this as a donation, maybe it folds in with the donations during renewal/event reg issue.
Can we have an update, please, for when these two will be completed?
