For stores School voucher fundraisers
Be your school's voucher partner.
Families buy vouchers for your store in the PACmeFUNd app, and use them at your counter with a swipe. No paper to print or collect, no card fees on these sales, and a new reason for school families to come in.
How it works
Four steps, and only one at your counter.
-
You and the PAC
Agree the details
What each voucher gets, its price with GST included, how many can be sold and when they're valid.
-
Families
Buy in the app
The voucher waits on their phone, with your name, address and the dates it's valid.
-
Your staff
Watch the swipe
At the counter, the family opens the voucher and swipes it while staff watch. It's stamped Redeemed with the time.
-
Get the report, and get paid
The morning after vouchers are redeemed, you get an email listing them. Once the number sold is settled, the PAC pays you directly, in one payment.
At the counter
What your staff check.
There's nothing to install. Staff just look at the family's phone.
Do we need an app or an account?
No. Your staff look at the family's phone, and the redemption report arrives by email.
How do we get paid?
The school's PAC pays you directly, in one payment by cheque or e-Transfer, once the number of vouchers sold is settled: usually when they sell out or the event ends. PACmeFUNd doesn't pay stores.
Do we charge GST?
Yes. Vouchers aren't like school hot lunch orders, which are often billed without GST. A voucher is a sale from your store to the family, so GST applies. Agree a price per voucher with the PAC that includes GST.
What if someone shows a screenshot?
Ask them to swipe the voucher while you watch. Once it's swiped, it's stamped Redeemed with the time, so a used voucher can't be shown again as new.
Can we limit how many are sold?
Yes. The PAC sets a limit for each voucher, and sales stop when it's reached.
What's in the redemption report?
It arrives the morning after vouchers are redeemed. It lists each one with its number, the item and the time, plus how many of each voucher have been redeemed and issued so far. It's for reconciliation.
Interested?
Talk to your local school's PAC, or tell us about your store and we'll put you in touch.
