Allow bidders to apply an additional donation amount, such as a percentage of total, during self-check out
When guests check out, we would like to be able to ask them if they would like to donate an additional monetary amount. It would be nice to be able to click different percentages and see immediately what their total would be. For example to be able to choose between 5% or 10% of their purchase. This would allow us to generate more income at the end of the event. Right now, you are unable to customize this amount.

Adding the option for additional percentages, e.g. 5% or 10%, and for bidders to see what the amount would do to their total would be ideal at self-checkout. Additionally, showing an option for rounding to the nearest dollar would be a great option. A lot of bidders like round amounts for ease of tracking on their end. Both of these options would allow for our organization to generate additional income, which is always welcome.
Also, in light of not having an in-person event & utilizing only admin checkout, it would be nice to figure out a way to include this in the options for the organization admins as they are processing payment - like on the invoice or as a selectable option for the bidders when their review their account for final purchases and winnings. A lot of bidders like to add additional amounts to cover shipping, administrative fees or just to be generous. It would be nice to have this option available to them, BEYOND, self-checkout so the organization admins can process payments according to the wishes of the bidders.

It would be nice if patrons were possibly prompted to round up their total to the nearest X. (Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, etc.) This should happen during self-checkout and regular check-out. I would suggest it as an alternate option to the static 3% or donation amount during regular checkout. At a minimum, adding the donation portion to the self-checkout would be beneficial.
