I am just now setting up my online fundraiser, this is my first fundraiser and it is going to be all online, how do they get to the fundraiser? does it give a direct link to it...or do they have to go to the website, click on order products. I cant find anything on my site that would give them a direct link there
 
Re: Setting up my first online fundraiser...Please help...need it set up today if poswhen you set it up on your pws - enter it like a normal show except click fundraiser instead of cooking show in the pull down menu. then put the host name or the group/company name in. they will have to go to your website & click on order products and then select 'option 1' and enter in the host name in order for it to be credited to the fundraiser.
 
Re: Setting up my first online fundraiser...Please help...need it set up today if posUnfortunately, if it's only an online fundraiser, the FR option through our PWS is for a cooking show FR (I wish they would add an online FR option!). So, it may confuse people going to your website to order, just FYI. They'll see a date of a FR show and you have to enter a time. Maybe put a disclaimer or something on the homepage of your website. That's why I've listed mine as a catalog show just to avoid confusion.

also, have the organizer of the FR set up a guest list on your website and send out "evites" notifying them. He/She can customize it to explain it's only an online fundraiser and can give instructions on how to place an order.

Hope that helps!:)
