How can we help?

We integrate with the JFC Round-Up Donations program to allow your customers to have the option to round up their purchase to the next dollar. By enabling Round Up Donations at the payment terminal, you can give your customers a quick and easy way to support Jewelers for Children. The feature has no impact on your reporting, deposits, or daily operations, and all processing costs are absorbed by JFC. You can strengthen community ties and customer loyalty while making a meaningful impact, all without any added cost or effort.

Please Note: To use this integration you must be using Jewel360 Payments with the Adyen processor and the P5 terminal. It does not work with Stripe.

Activate or Deactivate Donations

All P5 payment terminals come with this feature automatically enabled but you can easily opt out with just a few clicks if needed.  If you need to turn donations off, open the Profile page in your Payment Portal and switch off Third‑Party Donations.

Please Note: You no longer need to use the Admin Settings > Integrations > Jewelers for Children page to activate this integration. With the latest update, the setting above is all you need.

Once enabled, when running a card transaction through your Jewel360 P5 terminal, the customer will be offered a prompt on the terminal to round up to the nearest dollar and it will show what the new total would be, as pictured below.

You will no longer see your Donations in the End of Day report since the funds will go straight to the charity. The customer will see the normal transaction amount as a separate charge to their card from the donation, which will display as Jewelers for Children Donation on their card statement.

Transaction Process

Transaction will follow this typical flow at checkout:

1. You begin a sale in the POS.
2. The total appears on the P5 terminal.
3. The customer presents a card through the terminal for payment.
4. If donations are enabled, the terminal displays the donation prompt.
5. If the customer confirms a donation, the system processes a separate transaction for the donation.
6. If the customer skips the prompt or the donation fails, no retry occurs, and the sale completes normally.
7. After the sale has been completed, you receive funds for the sale, and the charity receives the donation.
