Donate Credit Card Fees

I've been looking through the TNew documentation, and can't find anything about this and am wondering if anyone has found a way to have TNew auto calculate an add on donation for the ticket buyers credit card  fees. We are seeing this with other non-profit, and would like to explore setting it up on our site.

Thanks for help.

  • We have a system setup for this, but it utilizes Tessitura's LWP_VALIDATE_CART procedure which does require some SQL coding. We are still on V15, but if you are on V16 its still doable, but it would be setup different. We setup a custom form field on all these donation pages asking if they want to increase their total by 3% to help cover credit card/processing fees. If the box is checked, then the LWP_VALIDATE_CART procedure increases their total by 3%, $100 to $103, $500 to $515 etc. The extra money is all considered a part of their donation and is what they are recognized for on their tax letters.

    I do like Laurel's idea though too. If you create more alternate giving pages with different suggested donation amounts and then just link to those pages instead of doing a checkbox, you could do that all with the features you can setup from the Tessitura application.
