Your fundraiser channel.
Minus the chaos.
The Order Buddy onboards your products, sets up your fundraising orgs, and supports them through a successful event. From there, you decide how much we handle — from clean order data, to collecting and settling your payments, to anywhere in between. You fulfill; we shape the rest around you.
No fees. No contracts. Ever.
We charge the fundraising organization — not you. Our fee comes from the transaction, not from your margin. The better your products sell, the better we both do. We built it that way on purpose.
Supplying youth fundraisers shouldn't feel like a second job.
Right now, working with fundraising orgs means juggling a dozen different contacts — each with their own process, their own timelines, and their own way of submitting orders. Payments trickle in weeks after an event. Reconciliation is a guessing game. And someone on your team absorbs all of it because the relationship is worth keeping.
The Order Buddy changes that. One platform, one contact, orders and payments handled the way you choose — with an itemized report your team can actually use.
How it works for suppliers
We set up your products
We load your catalog, configure each org's event, and support those teams directly as they run the fundraiser.
Families sell door-to-door
Motivated youth teams move your product while you watch sales come in across every active event in real time.
Settlement, your way
We settle to you at close, or proceeds go straight to the org — your choice, set by the agreement we reach.
Your partnership, your terms
You decide how involved we are. Each piece below is set by the partner agreement we reach — take what fits, leave the rest.
Want us to collect payments and settle what you're owed at event close, with a full itemized report? We can. Prefer proceeds go to the organization, which then settles with you directly? That works too.
We can support your orgs directly through the event — coordinator questions, order issues, and payment inquiries come to us, not your team.
You receive a structured vendor totals report, itemized by product — clean enough to hand straight to fulfillment, no reformatting.
Built to move product, not just process donations.
Most fundraising platforms are built around donation collection. The Order Buddy is built specifically for hands-on, sell-something-real fundraisers — and that distinction matters for suppliers.
No reconciliation guesswork
Every order comes in structured and itemized by product, with running totals you can watch mid-event and a clean vendor totals report at close. No more piecing payments together weeks after the event.
One relationship
We manage the org contacts. You manage fulfillment. Instead of fielding calls from a dozen different coordinators, you have one point of contact and one consistent process.
Built to sell more
Our platform is designed to maximize seller performance — real-time progress tracking, easy digital ordering, and supporter relationships that carry forward year after year. More engaged sellers mean more product moved per event.

What suppliers ask before saying yes.
Is there really no cost to us as a supplier?
Correct. The Order Buddy charges the fundraising organization — a flat $125 event fee plus a 4.5% transaction fee on card payments. Suppliers pay nothing. No listing fees, no platform fees, no revenue share.
How and when do we get paid?
It depends on your arrangement with us. Under a vendor partner agreement — with The Order Buddy as your system of record — we collect payments through the platform and settle what you're owed at event close, with a full itemized report. Otherwise, we process card payments and deposit the net proceeds to the organization, which then remits to you directly. Either way, you receive an itemized report detailing exactly what was ordered.
What format do we receive orders in?
A structured vendor totals report, itemized by product. It's clean enough to hand directly to your fulfillment team — no reformatting required.
Can we see order volume before the event closes?
Yes. Running order totals are visible in the platform as the event progresses, so you can plan production or fulfillment before the event closes — especially useful for perishable or made-to-order items.
How does inventory management work?
Our platform includes inventory management at the product level. If a product has limited availability, we update that quantity and every active event selling that product automatically reflects the limit — sellers cannot oversell. You stay in control of what gets committed without micromanaging individual events.
Who handles questions and issues from the fundraising orgs?
The Order Buddy is the single point of contact for all fundraising organizations. Coordinator questions, order issues, and payment inquiries come to us — not to you. That's one of the core things we take off your plate.
Do we have to commit to every organization on the platform?
No. You control which organizations you work with. Most suppliers start with a handful of events to see how the platform performs before expanding. There's no minimum commitment required.
Is there a contract or exclusivity requirement?
No contract, no exclusivity. You can continue your existing relationships with organizations directly while trialing The Order Buddy. We earn your continued partnership by performing — not by locking you in.
Try it your way — at your pace.
No all-or-nothing commitment. Start with a few events, see how the platform performs, and grow from there.
Start small
Run a handful of events with orgs you've selected.
See the results
Clean order data, view performance during events, and an itemized report at close.
Decide from there
Expand, adjust how we settle, or step away. No minimum, no exclusivity, no lock-in.
