E-COMMERCE: Online store for schools

The MobileArq eCommerce platform is a ready-to-go and easy-to-use online system; there is no set up required for the PTA. You can sell items such as school wear, pancake breakfasts or distribute lunch tickets and collect PTA dues all from one single site and in 3 easy steps.
Step 1: Setup an online storefront. Admin → eCommerce → Add Store.
For example, you can create or name your store as ‘Fall Fundraiser’.
Step 2: Add a product or an item for sale on this online storefront Admin → eCommerce → Add Product.
For example, you can set up a ‘Pancake Breakfast’, the purchase price of a ticket to attend this event and the number of tickets available.
Step 3: Assign this ‘Pancake Breakfast’ event (your fundraising product) to the ‘Fall Fundraiser’, the storefront you had created in Step 1. Admin → eCommerce → Assign Products to Store.
Set the dates when both the ‘product’ and ‘storefront’ are to be visible to your parent community. Upon their ‘activation’ the ‘pancake breakfast’ be seen and purchased online by the school community.

In three easy steps and within minutes, a PTA administrator can complete the task of putting up an item for sale online to its school community as part of the PTA fundraiser.
Just like the tickets for the ‘Pancake breakfast’, any other item can be placed on the online storefront in minutes and the parents can readily purchase these items from their mobile phones or desktops.
Items sold and money received is stored and tabulated and can be printed in form of reports to the administrator for accounting purposes.
