Can I use this platform for a school fundraiser?

Boosterparent — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 11:10:44 GMT

I’m looking for a platform which will allow us to build a online buying option for our school fundraiser. Example: We are selling fruit. There are 7 items we are selling, all with a different price. Will Square allow us to build a form/store, take payment and compile a complete tally of what has been sold for ordering?
If not, does anyone know of a platform which will do this?

Hi Boosterparent,

If your school organization is setup as a registered nonprofit, you could easily do what you have in mind. There is some info here to get started and some FAQs here. It would be a bit more of a challenge if you just planned to do this on your own - basically, you would setting yourself up as a business under your name (DBA) - don't think you would want to go that way as you may end up dealing with taxes, bank accounts, etc. Note, regardless of the platform, you may run into the same concerns.
