Send Tax Deduction Receipts for Charitable Donations

This step automatically activates whenever a customer completes an order in your store. The system captures all order details including customer information, purchase amounts, and most importantly for this workflow - any tip amount the customer added. No configuration is needed since it connects directly to your Shopify store and processes all incoming orders. All order data gets passed to the next step for evaluation.

The workflow automatically retrieves your shop information from Shopify, including your store name, business details, and other relevant information needed for the donation receipt. This happens behind the scenes without any input required from you. Your shop details get added to the workflow data and will be used in the final email template to personalize the receipt with your business name.

The filter checks if the tip amount on the order is greater than zero dollars. Orders with no tip amount get stopped here and won't trigger a receipt email. Orders that do include a tip continue to the next step where the donation receipt gets sent. This prevents customers from receiving donation receipts for regular purchases where they didn't intend to make a charitable contribution.

The email step automatically sends a donation receipt to the customer's email address from their order. You can customize the email subject line (currently set to "Thank you for your donation!") and modify the message template to match your organization's tone. The email includes the customer's name, donation amount, date of contribution, and the required legal language for tax-deductible donations including your 501(c)3 status confirmation. Make sure your organization actually qualifies as a tax-exempt nonprofit before activating this workflow.
