#2Hey HNers! :)
We just launched this first basic version of SwipeGood so we can get some user feedback before we move forward. Right now we haven't got Yodlee implemented so we can't do the monthly transactional data but have to ask the users to estimate the amount of transactions they make on a monthly basis. The idea is all about making change simple, affordable and effortless so more people can be part of it. Any and every feedback is welcome!!

#3Love the idea -- i used to do this by hand in a restaurant, but that sometimes meant the server wouldn't get a round tip.
Will you support the ability for me to save a portion of the money? Put it in my piggy bank for rewards (that you negotiate) so when I have enough money saved up I can buy something cool from you. Plus, you can also make good money if you properly short-term invest the float.

Love the idea, I was about to sign up when I realized that it isn't done automatically, that's kind of a deal breaker for me. When you get the Yodlee integration send an email out :)

The problem is that Yodlee is very expensive to get started with financially, (not technically). The point is to get people excited about the project and to sign up now, to convince someone to foot the cost of yodlee and keep all the money flowing to charity.

#10How much money you take from the roundup money?
Right now zero. We will send 100% minus the transaction fees from authorize.net to DonorsChoose.org.
To be honest we're still looking at all the numbers to see what will be the best way to go about it and what % we need to take to make SwipeGood sustainable in the long term.
