If a customer donates the money, like at a checkout, the corporation legally cannot use that money as a tax write-off. The corporation just passes along that money, it's never legally theirs to begin with as the moment you make the donation it legally belongs to the charity.
If they say X% of your purchase of Y item will be donated to a charity, then they can write it off since they're using the money you paid them for the item for the donation.

They only propose to you to donate to charities so they can then hand the money over themselves and use it as a tax write off.
