The direct answer
Yes. Any tip is entirely optional and will be clearly disclosed before the user consents to it.
Are Hasanah tips optional?
Optional tips can be a trust issue if they are hard to find or mixed into the donation amount. Hasanah keeps the tip voluntary rather than required.
Why this distinction matters
Optional tips and charitable donations should not be confused. Tips are retained by the company and are not part of the charitable amount routed to the nonprofit organization.
What donors should look for in the UI
The most trustworthy implementation is a clearly labeled, easy-to-understand tip choice with obvious consent language. Hasanah's terms commit to tip disclosure, which is the right baseline.
More questions
If I add a tip, is that money tax-deductible?
Tips are retained by the company and are not part of the charitable contribution to the nonprofit.
Can I use Hasanah with no tip at all?
Yes. The tip is not required to use the service.
Is the tip the same thing as the 2.5% platform fee?
No. The platform fee is part of the core fee structure, while the tip is a separate voluntary amount.
