Can I Keep an Online Fundraiser Open Until a Specific Event Date?

[aborchardt]

I have set up an online fundraiser for a friend whose daughter is battling leukemia, we are hosting a benefit in September and I am wondering if I can keep this fundraiser open until then? If so how do I go about getting the people their orders shortly after they order online? Or is there a better way to go about this? Any help would be appreciated since I have not done a fundraiser before.

Thanks all

I would submit the orders at least once a month--or after you reach the $600 total to get the higher % each time. You'll want to do this for guest specials, anyway.

Unfortunately products won't ship until the show/fundraiser closes, so you wouldn't want to leave one show open that long..and as Gail mentioned, guest specials for the month you open it would only work by having to close the show by the mid of the next month.

PC will have no problem issuing multiple checks for the same fundraiser. Guests would not be happy to have given you a check or their charge card, only to have it submitted 3 months later--too difficult for their financial planning, I'd think.

Guests don't have to know they are separate fundraisers, only that orders are sent in monthly.

Thanks for the help, that was what I was thinking I would need to do
