What Our Customers Say
How it Works
How do we raise money?
Groups raise money when supporters buy items from their online store. Once participants register, they can invite family and friends to shop. Invitations go out via social media, text, and/ or email and groups receive a profit off every sale.
Your online store will include additional items not found in the brochure.
Do participants need to register?
Registration is the only way to promote a Believe Online fundraiser. Once registered, participants can invite friends and family to your online store using text, social media, and/ or email. They’ll also be able to log into their sales portal anytime and track things like how many supporters they have, social shares, and money they've help raise.
As potential customers arrive at your store they will see a ‘Reason to Support’ button above the name of your group. Your purpose is displayed once the supporter clicks the button. This way, they can see the reason for your fundraiser. This helps personalize your fundraiser. For example, “With your help, we'll reach our $2,000 goal for new band equipment.”
As the sponsor, you'll be able to track things like:
- Participant share activity
- Registered participants
- Sales updates
- Items sold
Getting participants to register is key to your success. You can enhance sales by setting individual seller goals based on your group’s needs.
(Use the ‘Calculate Your Profit’ calculator at the top of the page to determine your profit)
Be sure to track your fundraiser progress and remind participants to invite people to your store. This will help your participants reach their goal.
Registered participants will also be eligible to earn credit towards prizes. We encourage groups to supplement the prize program we offer with additional incentives.
Do we get our own link?
You will not receive a unique link for your group. Rather, once participants register, they’ll receive their own shopping link. They’ll be able to email, or text their link direct from their dashboard, and share on social media.
Is money collected with each order?
There is no in person ordering or money collection. Participants generate sales when the people they invite buy items from your store.
Can participants track their own sales?
Yes, participants will be able to log into their portal anytime and see their sales updates.
Are there any fees?
There are no setup fees or costs to run a Believe Online fundraiser. We will waive the $50 admin fee once your group sells 50 items. If you decide to cancel after we receive your signed agreement, you will be charged the $50 admin fee.
Can participants earn prizes?
Incentivizing your participants can improve sales. We offer 2 prize program options:
We send you your prize flyer via email before your kickoff. It’s important that you continue to promote your prizes throughout your sale. This will keep your group motivated.
After your sale is over, we add the total cash amount to your profit check. If you choose a traditional prize plan, we ship your prizes to your group address. Prizes are packed by participant.
You’ll receive a sales report showing your participants names and how much they sold. Prizes are shipped with a reference list that matches prizes with participants.
There is no cost to the group for our prize programs.
Do participants get a brochure to show?
Because this is an online fundraiser there are no brochures. Before your sale, you’ll receive a registration instruction steps email. Be sure to forward it to your sellers.
How soon can we start?
After you submit our start a fundraiser form you’ll receive an agreement to sign. It will then take at least 3-5 business days to process your order and set up your store.
Once we send you your participant registration instruction steps, your store is live. We recommend that you have an official kickoff meeting so everyone starts at the same time.
If you can't meet in person, consider using an online communication technology. Examples include Zoom, Cisco Webex, GoToMeeting and Google Hangouts.
How long is the fundraiser?
By default, we set your end date 2 weeks after your start date. You can always change your end date. Simply let us know before your sale ends.
Or, let us know up front when you want your store to close.
Do you only work with schools?
No, we work with non-school groups as well. Examples include church groups, sports leagues, and dance organizations.
Can we use more than 1 store at a time?
No. You must choose 1 store. For example, ‘Goodies & Gifts’ cannot be run at the same time as ‘Popcornopolis Online’. You can always run a second online fundraiser after the first one is over.
Do you only work with groups?
Yes. Your group must have at least 5 participants.
Making Sales
Is there a minimum order?
There are no minimum order requirements.
Can we track our sales?
Before your Believe Online sale you'll receive access to your online store dashboard. You’ll be able to see several things, including:
- Participants who have registered
- Their social share activity
- Sales progress
How do we receive our money?
Your profit check is mailed within 11 business days of your store’s closing. If you add 'ship to group', checks are mailed out seven business days after your order ships.
What is our profit?
Your profit percentage is based on how many items your group sells:
| Items Sold | Profit |
| 1-9 | 25% |
| 10-29 | 30% |
| 30-49 | 35% |
| 50+ | 40% |
You receive 70% of online donations.
A $50 administrative fee will be deducted from your profit if your group sells fewer than 50 items.
Can we accept donations?
Yes, people can donate in $20 increments. Your group receives 70% profit off all donations.
Your final profit percentage is based on the total number of items your group sells. Donations do not count toward items sold when determining group profit percentage.
If you don't want a donation option on your store you can have this feature turned off. Simply let us know before your fundraiser start date.
Can buyers credit more than 1 participant?
Multiple participants can be added under the same account when registering. So when they make a purchase, the prize credit is automatically split up.
Buyers who click on a link that was shared with them through text, email or social media and the sellers are all registered under the same dashboard, the prize credit is also automatically split up.
Buyers who go directly to the store, select shop now, and manually enter the information will need to click on the “+” symbol to add multiple participants prior to entering the online store.
Donations count as 1 prize credit for each $20 donation.
What about sales tax?
Customers do not pay sales tax.
Shipping
How soon do orders ship out?

How to Reduce Online Customer Shipping Costs
For online customers, shipping costs are fixed, as shown in the table above. However, there is a way that you can reduce their shipping costs with ‘Ship to Group’.
Ship to Group Option
To help cover shipping fees for your online customers, add a ‘ship to group’ option to your store. People can then pay a shipping fee and have items delivered to them, or pay a 5% processing fee and have their order shipped to your group.
Like the 'ship to home' option, there are no additional fees if the customer orders $75 or more of merchandise. For orders less than $75, a 5% processing fee is added at checkout.
For example, a $50 order would be charged an additional $2.50 ($50 x 5% = $2.50). The total cost for the order would therefore be $52.50.
We then combine all ‘ship to group’ orders and ship them to your location after your sale is over.
'Ship to group' is not automatically included as part of a Believe Online sale. Thus, you must let us know if you want this option included. You can do so by putting "Add ship to group" in the comments section before you submit your start a fundraiser form.
NOTE: We only recommend this option for buyers who live close to you.
How are product issued handled?
For questions about orders, customers will be instructed to contact customer service.
