Adding Donation box to my site

[mw4kids]

Hi,

I was wondering if this is something I could do. I run a thrift shop and would like to give my customers the option to donate to St. Judes Research, either putting in a set amount like a $1 or being able to put their own amount (i would prefer this option.)

Is there an addon or some coding upon checkout that I can do?

thanks!

Setup a category called donations
Setup some donation products of different values and free shipping of course.
Then simply add a link to your homepage text that points to the category, and of course the category will show in the list of categories all the time.

There is a blank box addon that you can use to show the products too but It will take some memory jogging for me to type that out.

I just started with Zen Cart. All I want is one page for donations with an empty field for the client to add any amount. I have searched high and low, but don't see anything so simple.

Help!

You could use Document Product type and customize that page to look more Donation oriented ... then add a Product as Document Product type for 1.00 and they can make a Donation of any amount ...

Thank you. I am about to give up on the program. I installed it, but I cannot find anything that will show me even the basics of creating a site.

How about the orange tab on the top of this page called:

Well, they really do not seem to be tutorials in a 1,2,3 do-this sense.

Any suggestions? I'd really like to make this work. It is for a friend setting up a school in Rwanda. They had a site hosting their donations, but they pulled out. Now I am supposed to set up a simple donation page.

Just a thought - could you modify something like the gift wrap add-on?

I think this would appear in the 'shipping area' at checkout which would make the most sense to me.

Not even sure what that means. I have not got to the simplest page yet.
