Note: The Shop feature only applies to In-Person Event or P2P In-Person Event campaign types.
You can raise additional funds for your campaign by offering items for sale through your campaign's Shop. Your Shop allows you to highlight your products throughout your campaign, easily organize them, keep an eye on inventory, and manage sales.
Products you add to your Shop can be purchased in two ways:
During registration - Participants registering for your campaign will see available Shop items they can add to their order before checking out.
Directly from your campaign page - If you choose to enable the Shop widget, you can showcase your available items with a special content block that you place on your campaign page, allowing anyone (donors or participants alike) to make a purchase.
Funds raised from Shop purchases will be tracked separately in your dashboard and you’ll be able to instantly download a record of purchases to help you plan your ordering.
Note: Your organization is responsible for distributing items. Pledge It allows you to internally record when you've fulfilled orders and distributed items for your records, but we do not ship items to customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sort of receipt do buyers receive?
Anyone that purchases a Shop item, whether during registration or directly from your campaign, will receive the Order Receipt, which you can customize with a message for your Shop orders. The Order Receipt is a multi-purpose receipt that may include documentation of registrations, donations, Shop purchases, or raffle entry purchases.
If someone purchases a Shop item alongside their registration, their Order Receipt will show sections for both types of purchases. If someone has just purchased a Shop item directly, their registration will only include information about their Shop purchase.
How do I export Shop sales?
From your campaign's Dashboard, navigate to Reporting on the left side menu. Download the Shop Products report to get a .csv of all products sold, including buyer information, order date, item details, and fulfillment status. This same report can be downloaded from your Shop's dashboard when viewing the Sales tab.
Are Shop purchases tax deductible?
No. Shop products are not considered tax deductible because goods or services are being received by the buyer in exchange for their purchase. When participants receive their Order Receipt, the amount displayed as tax deductible will not include the price of their items purchased. Any fees they cover on the item purchase will be tax deductible, however, as they are donating an additional amount to cover transaction fees.
