Why would a seller accept a small value order (and paypal fees on that donation) just because the buyer is making a charity donation? Plus it is a mess for tax purposes. Is it the buyer or seller making the donation? Sigh. I'm sorry I confused people with the charity part. Forget the charity part. I DO understand the reason for a min. buy. The main part is really simple: add an amount of money to an order without actually ordering extra items to reach that min. buy. I guess you could just order them and tell the seller you don't want the extra parts. No, you cannot do that if you are paying with IC, because then you are also telling the seller that they need to do a refund which comes around full cycle to the sale minimum. The correct way of doing this is to allow an IC authorize for the minimum amount, then the seller can capture it when they’re ready to ship. This goes back to my suggestion (which is aging like a good cheese) about making PP and Stripe payments two step (authorize then capture). Two step could eliminate every micro-refund for parts shortages. /soap_box Nita Rae

[...] Why would they need to refund? This is not to do with shortages, it is a buyer making a "donation" to meet a minimum order value. Refunding would put the order [...] (12 months ago, Jun 2, 2023, to Suggestions)
