Goodies & Gifts Online

Your group profits when supporters buy items from your online store. Once participants register, they’re able to invite family and friends to shop. Invitations are sent out via social media, text, and/ or email.

Your group receives a profit off every sale.

Registration is the best way to promote a Goodies & Gifts Online fundraiser. It's also a very effective way to get your participants engaged in your cause.

Prior to completing the registration process, participants will be required to enter their email address. This is needed so we can send them their personalized online store link. All email addresses are kept confidential and are only used for fundraising purposes.

Once participants are registered, they’ll be able to share their unique link using text, social media, and/ or email.

As people click on a link, the participant’s name appears at the top of the page. This will help make it recognizable to visitors. For example, “Thank you for supporting John Doe with ABC High School Band!”

As the sponsor, you can track both individual and group sales progress. Besides dollars raised, you’ll be able to see the number of social shares and emails sent out by your sellers.

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.

There are 2 ways to promote your store:

1. Registration: By default, you’ll receive your group ID number. Participants will need it to register, obtain their unique link, and then share it with others using social media, text, and/ or email.
2. Direct Link: Or, as an option we can create 1 unique group link that would bypass the registration process. Everyone would be able to share this link with their friends and family.

No in person ordering or money collection takes place. Participants generate sales when the people they invite buy items from your store.

Yes, participants will be able to log into their portal anytime and see their sales updates.

There are no setup fees or costs to run a Goodies & Gifts 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. Or, if you choose a traditional prize plan, we ship your prizes to your group address.

You’ll receive access to your sales reports 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, we email you the steps to get started to pass onto 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 would like 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 Online 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 Goodies & Gifts Online sale you'll receive access to your online store dashboard. You’ll be able to see who’s registered, as well as email and social share activity. And of course, 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:

Yes, by default we will set your Goodies & Gifts Online store up to accept donations. You make 70% of the donated amount. You have the option to turn this feature off when logged into your portal.

Yes, before continuing to the store, supporters first need to select a participant. Then select the ‘Support another seller’ link to add another participant.

Orders generally ship within 3 business days after purchase.

Product ships from our Indiana warehouse to all lower 48 states. All items ship direct to the buyer.

Customers pay a shipping fee at checkout to have their order shipped direct to them. Free shipping on all orders over $99.

Ship to Group Option

To help cover shipping fees for your online customers, you can add a ‘ship to group’ option to your store. People can then choose to pay a shipping fee and have items delivered to them, or pay a 5% processing fee and have their order shipped to your group.

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 Goodies & Gifts Online sale. Thus you will need to 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.
