Timely advice. I am setting up a new store front now.
I'll give this some serious thought. :-)

I've always had a button to accept donations on my
web page, and I have always matched those donations
one-to-one and sent any receipts to various charities.
I had visions at one point of becoming a community
philanthropist. Alas, the expected "donations" did not
materialize. It has amounted to perhaps $1000 donated,
even with my matching funds, over the past 10 years.

Maybe I need to be more mercenary about it. :-(

Cheers,

David
