And the smile program was another example of that. Had to use the correct url or nothing went to charity. They could have made it a setting for the user, or an option during checkout.

I bet if the offered round up for charity in the checkout process the funds collected would dwarf those raised by the smile program.

Was it even possible to do in the app?

Yes, for the app it's a one-off setting. If you only purchase via the app, no need to remember the smile URL.
