Is there a module that donates the change?

I would LOVE to see a module that will give the customer the opportunity to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar and donate the change to a charity.

 

They do this at my local pet store where you purchase items and the total with tax is $57.23 and they have the option to round it up to $58.00 and donate the $0.77 to the North Shore Animal League.

 

I have learned that with having that option, people are more likely to donate the "change" because its just easier with an even dollar amount any ways rather than chosing to add a donation "product" to their cart and paying a dollar..

 

 

Is there anything like this out here>

No, there isn't. Probably too hard.

Nah, it wouldn't be too hard. You'd just need an order total module that calculates the total after taxes and shipping and adds an additional charge to round it up. A checkbox or button would need to be placed somewhere to make it optional. Then just update a new database table that keeps track of how much money is owed to charity.

 

Actually, that's a really cool idea. If I get a chance someday, I'll see what I can whip up.

I really didnt think it would be much different than the ROUND UP contribution i came by while looking for it. Unfortunately the ROUND UP contribution only rounded up the amount but did not put the "change" anywhere so there is no way to track what needs to be donated at a later date.

 

Well, if anyone has some time on their hands, let me know if you come up with something!
