Add products and services to your store

Create a Goods and Services campaign to sell merchandise or services through your store.

Your organization or vendor handles inventory, fulfillment, delivery, product support, and purchaser questions. SimpleRaise may make the final purchaser-facing refund or payment-dispute decision when necessary.

Start a product campaign

Open Campaigns > Add Campaign, then choose Goods and Services.

Add the basics

Enter a product name using letters and numbers, without special characters. Add a description of at least 154 characters. You can also enter a SKU, which appears on the receipt.

Set the price and photos

Enter the Selling Price. If you want to track the product's cost to your organization, enter Additional Cost; otherwise, leave it blank. Include shipping, handling, and storage costs when calculating your return.

Use the optional expiration date for products available only for a limited time.

Upload JPG, JPEG, or PNG images up to 10 MB. PDFs aren't supported. Square images of at least 500 × 500 pixels are recommended. The first image becomes the main storefront photo.

Set a per-order purchase limit if you need to restrict how many items a customer can buy.

Add checkout questions

Use custom checkout fields for details such as the name to print on a shirt. Mark a field required if shoppers must answer it to complete their purchase.

Once a question has answers, hide it rather than removing it.

Set a fundraising goal

Goals are optional. If you enable one, enter the dollar amount without commas or spaces and choose:

• Collective Goal: One shared target for all participants.

• Individual Goal: A separate target for each participant, with an optional split between the participant and the organization's Angel Fund.

Participants can join either type, but individual credit requires an individual goal.

Add product options

Use a single-option product when every item is the same. Add variants for choices such as size, color, or material.

On Variant Options, add the choices customers need. You can use an existing attribute or create your own.

On the next step, add an image and any additional cost for each variant.

Choose categories

Select one or more categories, or leave them unselected. Categories such as Spirit Wear or Fundraisers help shoppers find related items.

Add or reorder categories in Organization Settings > Product Categories. Categories with no assigned products won't appear in the store.

Set inventory and publish

Enter the available quantity for the product and each variant. Leave quantities blank if you aren't limiting inventory—for example, when collecting orders before a bulk purchase.

SimpleRaise doesn't hold inventory or fulfill orders for your organization.

Review the details and select Finish to publish.

Invite participants

If you're tracking individual goals, open the campaign's Participants tab and add participants.
