    Donations and functionality questions

    Hi,

    We're considering uCommerce for a non-profit site we're developing.

    This site will allow custom donation amounts and need to track messages with each order line item.

    Is this possible with uCommerce free edition?  It's a single store only available in one country (no internationalization or localization requirements).

    Thanks for you help

    That's absolutely possible. In fact, we have a number of charities using uCommerce in the US, UK, and DK. The biggest of which is the Danish Red Cross.

    Donations can be handled in exactly the same way as "normal" products. If you want to offer fixed options for donations, e.g. 25, 50, 100, 200, you can use variations to lock the customer in.

    Combine this with auto capture during checkout and you're good to go :)

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Lukman,

    The flow totally depend on how you want to apporach it.

    As Soren described, you can use variants on products to donate a fixed amount. 

    If you want the customer to pay a donation of their choise you want to implement a pipeline task here that adjust the total of the order. : http://docs.ucommerce.net/ucommerce/v6/extending-ucommerce/create-pipeline-task.html

    As for the donation process:

    You want to check out a customer just as you would if he/she buys a normal product. uCommerce doesn't know, doesn't care (more or less) what the actual order contains. 

    You can read here how the most common steps are here:

    http://docs.ucommerce.net/ucommerce/v6/how-to/checkout-step-by-step.html

    After the fact you need a payment gate way that can authorize and capture the money afterwards. 

    Hope that helps.

    Another doubt I have, which is I am developing a site with shopping items and donation items. It should have clear separation when showing. If I added a shopping item to the cart, then I must not able to add a donation item and vice versa. How can I achieve the same? Please help me.

    Thanking you
