The Order Buddy — Board Summary

A better fundraiser, worth one trial event.

The problem: Manual fundraising is error-prone, hard to reconcile, and stressful for volunteers. The Order Buddy is fundraising software built for hands-on fundraising — payments, order tracking, and reporting in one place, minus the chaos.

Anticipated questions
What does this cost our organization?

A flat $125 event fee covering setup through final reporting, plus a 4.5% transaction fee on card payments (in addition to standard Stripe processing). No subscriptions or surprise fees.

What if a family doesn't want to use a phone or app?

There's no app to install — The Order Buddy runs in any phone browser. Cash and check orders are tracked in the system alongside digital orders, so no one gets left out.

Who handles issues or disputes?

The Order Buddy is your point of contact for the platform, coordinators, and order questions. Card payment disputes and refunds are handled by your organization through Stripe — since funds are deposited directly to you — and we'll walk you through it.
