Hello!
We use quick sale for all of our general admission tickets at the door. We frequently have guests that would like to add on a donation in varying amounts. I'm curious to hear about how others take donations during check in. We have a quick sale button set up for $1.00 and a few others for specific programs. Our staff tends to forget our other processes when someone wants to donate $20 and just uses the $1.00 button twenty times. :) Thank you!
Hi Rebecca, We have buttons set up for $5, $10, $25, $50, and $100 for general donations.

That's what I have been thinking of doing. Thank you!
That is what we have set up, as well.

At Shedd we have buttons in the same amounts and we've also found great success with a "round up" button that adds the odd difference between the order total and the next dollar up.
I've been looking at the round up button! It seems like it would work well.
Greg - I'd love to connect with you sometime about offering group sales online. I *believe* there is a Shedd success video on the network that I recently watched on the topic. :) If you are interested, my email is rbarr@airzoo.org Thank you!
Another option is to change these contributions (donations) into FEES. This gives us the option to do a general public order (no owner on the order) for walk-ups.
At Museum of the Bible, we have buttons on the main Quicksale page for the most common donation amounts and the roundup button, and then I also created a navigation button called "Other Donation Amounts" which has one row of all different change values ($.01, $.05, $.10, $.25, $.50, .$75), a second row with single-digit dollar values ($1, $2, $3, etc up to $9), and a third row with double-digit dollar values ($10, $20, $30, etc up to $60). When the ticket agents get an unusual donation amount, like $48.13, they press a combination of the buttons ($40, $8, $.10, $.01, $.01, $.01). Admittedly, having all these buttons is probably overkill at this point, but back when we had a donation-based admission model, it came in handy.
That video is a little out of date and our group reservation experience has changed more than a bit. I'm not really the best person to connect with about groups visits but I'll be sure to pass on your info to the manager of our constituent services team.
hah, that's ok!! I appreciate you passing along my information. :)
