 Hello all, I need to setup a charitable donation system for my client. I found a module which seems to be up to the job - Ubercart Donation Products The only thing that seems to be missing is a feature to setup giftaid. I'm not sure about the rest of the word but in the UK giftaid allows charities to claim back a percentage of the givers donation from the government Does anyone know how I can setup giftaid ?
Hello
Hi guys, I found a way to setup my giftaid system but I got stuck with the credit card configuration. I read http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/2731/credit_card_settings and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong My site is at http://www.mysite.com and the file structure is in httpdocs. i:e http://www.mysite.com/creditcard_folder Can anyone tell me if I wrong ?  
Re: Hello
Your mixing your terminology for file systems and urls a little, so I'm going to take a guess at the specifics. Assuming the folders look like: Then you need to set the configuration to "../../creditcard_folder" or "/var/www.mysite.com/credicard_folder" The first one is a relative path from the root of the Drupal site. The second is the absolute path on the file system. The way to know if you got it right is: Then type "pwd" if it doesn't respond with the full, absolute path to the credicard_folder, something is off. Another common issue is permissions for the credit card folder
Re: Re: Hello
Thanks Andy, apologies for the delay in responding ... the project was temporarily delayed. Presently, I am working throught your recommendations. Also, do you or anyone else, know what module would enable debit card payments ? Right now, I see American Express and other credit card options. But the UK has debit cards like solo, maestro, switch etc
Could you share your solution to using gift aid?
Hi Sisko, We're in a similar position to you in that we're trying to add Gift Aid to a website which we're developing for a UK Charity. However as yet I am unable to figure out how to do this. We're using Drupal 6, and would like to ask the user if they qualify for gift aid for any transaction running through the Ubercart Checkout system. We'd be extremely grateful if you could share the solution that you found. Many thanks,
No problem
Here it goes Michael There is a module called Donate. Upon downloading and installing, it gives you a Donate type where donors can specifiy an amount. Setup an attribute with 2 (or more) options. I have an attirbute called 'Donor Status'. It contains options of UK taxpayer - reclaim gift aid and Non UK tax payer. When the attribute is setup, added it to the singular Donate node you create of this system. On the Donor Status setting, I specified that it is required so you always have to select an option and the display type is set to radio buttons so the donor can only click one or the other. It may be better as a select list ?? Now, if everything has gone well, you should have a node that you can select one of 2 ooptions and add an amount to the shopping cart. So, my aim is to get the donation getting through but to collect donor details to submit to whatever government office and say "These people want us to claim gift aid on this amount - gimme gimme gimme There is the basics of the setup. There are a few things I am contending with right now but fell free to get back to me with anything you didn't understand or that I can help you with further. You can examine and please test through to completion my donor setup at : http://test2omniforce.co.uk/ ( it's the css mess in the left corner ) 
I am struggling to find this module called Donate
Hi I am struggling to find this module called Donate. I can find uc_donation and uc_donation_incentives - have you got a url please Thanks
Broken link
Just to let everyone know that the link to http://test2omniforce.co.uk/ is no longer there - defaults to Parallels Plesk Panel Page. I too am looking at Ubercart from a charity point of view. And as a UK based charity, we are eligible to claim back gift aid, so very interested to hear from anyone who has got this to work on their charity site. I think the link to the module called Donate referred to is http://drupal.org/project/donate There is another Drupal module called Fundraising (http://drupal.org/project/pg_fundraising). One of the features planned to incorporate is "Tax benefit (e.g. GiftAid)" so may also be of interest to charities looking for payment methods to incorporate this tax benefit.
