How Does the Online Ordering Process Work?
Our approach is fresh and out-of-the-box compared to many fund
raisers. Our online ordering concept is streamlined and
easy for participants and fund raiser coordinators to work with.
Let’s face it, those who are participating in fund raisers are
volunteering their most precious commodity – their time. By
keeping the fund raiser simple and easy to handle, you will find more
participants will be inspired to help make this event a profitable
success for your group which is what fund raisers are all about!
Each fund raiser will have their own webpage which can include verbiage
about their event – this will be part of the link that is emailed
out to potential customers.
Each customer will then choose the products they want by adding them to
their cart. When done shopping, they will pay safely and securely via
PayPal. They will then receive an email confirmation of the transaction.
Parents/participants will not have to worry about being responsible for
collecting and sorting out the monies since each order will be paid
online.

How do we get our orders and is there shipping cost?
Shipping cost will be added to each order so the group does have to absorb that expense.
Orders
will be placed at the close of the fund raiser and will be shipped to
the contact person and/or specified address. The coordinator will
then sort the product for each participant. Each participant is
responsible for delivering their own orders.
Delivery is via UPS – a tracking number will be forwarded to the event coordinator.
