I would like to donate a % of a sales using the discount code feature.

Enhancements to your system would be

show the donation amount but not deduct from price

display donation instead of discount in the shopping cart

list the % donated in the affiliate fields and total in the mass pay - there may be a better solution than this



In order to use the ejunkie system now I am creating discount codes at zero amount, this way I will be able to track the codes in order to calculate the donations.

My donations will be going to Haiti.



I know this is a rush request ejunkie support, but you could certainly advertise your new offering.

Or perhaps create affiliate codes which we all use and ejunkie makes sure the donations go where we say they are to go. Non profits could signup though ejunkie and we as online sellers can use the appropriate affiliate links.



Anyone else think this would be valuable to their efforts to help others in a time of need?

Hm, making a donation % show up calculated in the cart isn't something we could do quickly if it's even practical to implement at all, but your other solutions can work right now.



If you create a zero-discount code for buyers to enter, then that code would be reported with the order data. If you have nonprofits join your affiliate program, then they would earn commission on any sales referred via their affiliate links, which you would pay out every month along with your other affiliates' commissions.



As another idea, you could create a product using Variations to provide a list of causes, so buyers could select their cause and click Add to Cart for that "product" to specify where they'd want a % out of their checkout payment to be donated.



We are also planning to eventually add a feature where you can dictate that all sales of a particular product should always grant a flat commission amount to some affiliate or PayPal email, in addition to any other affiliate-referral commissions earned, which you would pay out with affiliate commissions monthly. This would typically be used to share revenue with a supplier or partner, but could also be used to track a donation split as well.

good ideas.

I still think showing the donation in the shopping cart would be valuable so if you could put that in the suggestion list I'll appreciate it.
