Hi

 

I'm working for a charity and they want to implement a system where people can firstly buy books off them and secondly make a donation without actually purchasing anything(these can be anomyous) ?

Is this solution suitable for such an application.

Thanks for your help and advice.

I wouldn't see why not. If you wanted people to be able to make donations w/o actually buying anything you could make items like Platinum Gift, Gold Gift, etc (recalled form the horrible memories of my telemarketing days many years ago). Donations will never be anonymous if made via credit card though. ;)

The problem Im having is how not to charge shipping on donations. No luck yet. OSC applieds 3.50 shipping, even though my tables say 0 weight = $0 shipping... anyone?

well.. i just figured it out...

 

I just did this.

 

I use a Table for shipping. I said up to .9 lbs = free, Donations have 0 weight, other prods have weight, but you must set the Tare weight to 0. That is found in Configuration -> Shipping/Packaging
