Believe Online

Profit is made from the purchase of every item from your store. Participants can invite family and friends to shop once they register. Invitations are sent via social media, text, and/ or email.

Your group receives a profit off every sale made from your store.

Registration is the only way to promote a Believe Online fundraiser. It's also a very effective way to get your participants engaged in your cause. As participants register, they’ll be able to share their unique link using text, social media, and/ or email.

This takes people to your store where a ‘Reason to Support’ button appears 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 cause. For example, “With your help, we'll reach our $2,000 goal for new band equipment.”

Both you and your sellers can track their sales. Participants will be able to see how many supporters they have, social shares, and money they've help raise. Sponsors can 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.

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.

You will not receive a unique link. Rather, once participants register, they’ll receive their own shopping link. They’ll be able to email, or text their link from their dashboard, and share on social media.

There is no in person ordering or money collection. Participants generate sales when the people they invite buy items from your store.

There are no setup fees or costs to run a Believe Online fundraiser.

Incentivizing your participants can improve sales. We offer 2 prize program options:

1. Cash
2. Traditional

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.

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.

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.

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.

No, we work with non-school groups as well. Examples include church groups, sports leagues, and dance organizations.

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.

Yes. Your group must have at least 5 participants.

There are no minimum order requirements.

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

• Sales progress

Your profit check is processed within 15 business days of the close of the store.

Your profit percentage is based on how many items your group sells:
