[Team Chipply](https://chipply.com/blog/author/team-chipply) 11/13/2025 [Online Stores](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/online-stores), [Pop Up Stores](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/pop-up-stores), [eCommerce](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/ecommerce), [Best Practices](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/best-practices) [0 Comments](https://chipply.com/blog/are-online-stores-worth-it-for-small-teams-or-fundraisers#postComment) 2 Minutes ### **🎯 The Short Answer: Absolutely—If You’re Using the Right Platform** For many dealers and decorators, [small team](https://chipply.com/team-stores) or [fundraising accounts](https://chipply.com/fundraiser-stores) can feel like a lot of work for a small return. But with **Chipply**, offering online stores becomes simple, scalable, and cost-efficient. The right platform doesn’t just streamline orders for your customers — it saves *you* hours of admin time, reduces mistakes, and makes your clients look great while helping them raise more money. --- ### **⏱️ Save Time and Eliminate Order Errors** If you’ve ever handled paper order forms or collected sizes manually, you know how quickly things can get messy. With **Chipply**, every order flows through a single, automated system: - **Orders come in clean and complete,** directly from each buyer — no back-and-forth emails. - **Payments process instantly,** so you’re never chasing balances or correcting totals. - **Sizes and decoration details stay organized,** eliminating manual errors and rework. Chipply users save hours (sometimes *days*) of admin time per store. The result: smoother customer experiences, fewer mistakes, and more bandwidth for higher-volume opportunities. --- ### **💸 Low Fees, No Hidden Charges, No Limits** Many store platforms eat away at your margin with hidden charges or complicated pricing. That’s not how **Chipply** works. - **Just a simple 3.5% Chipply fee** on products and decoration. There are **no fees on cart peripherals** like fundraising, taxes, or sizing upcharges.  - **A one-time onboarding fee** with no contracts or commitments.  - **Everything you need to get started** — no paywalls, no tiered pricing. Build as many stores as you need — pop-ups, year-round, and everything in between.  You stay in control of your margins, while offering your clients a professional, affordable solution that feels premium. --- ### **❤️ Fundraising Made Simple (and Motivating)** Your customers want to fundraise, but they don’t want the headache. **Chipply** makes it easy for dealers and distributors to offer flexible fundraising options that are built right into the store experience. - Add **either a flat dollar amount or a percentage** to each item for instant fundraising profit. - **Track goals and progress in real time** with the **Chipply Fundraiser Tracker** — a built-in visual progress tool that keeps teams motivated and supporters engaged. - And because **Chipply doesn’t take a fee on fundraising**, every dollar raised goes straight to your customer’s organization. It’s a simple, transparent system that helps you deliver extra value without extra work. --- ### **🧩 Bottom Line** Online stores aren’t just for large contracts. With Chipply, they’re an *affordable, scalable, and efficient* way for dealers, decorators, and distributors to serve small teams, schools, and fundraisers — all while protecting your margins and saving time. **Chipply makes it easy:** Low fees, no hidden costs, and all the tools you need to deliver a winning online store experience for every customer.  👉 **Get inspired by exploring our** [**sample stores**](https://chipply.com/sample-stores) to see what’s possible — and imagine how easily you can create the same polished, professional experience for your own clients.   --- #### Tag: [Online Stores](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/online-stores) [Pop Up Stores](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/pop-up-stores) [eCommerce](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/ecommerce) [Best Practices](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/best-practices) #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://chipply.com/blog/are-online-stores-worth-it-for-small-teams-or-fundraisers) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://chipply.com/blog/are-online-stores-worth-it-for-small-teams-or-fundraisers&text=Are%20Online%20Stores%20Worth%20It%20for%20Small%20Teams%20or%20Fundraisers) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://chipply.com/blog/are-online-stores-worth-it-for-small-teams-or-fundraisers) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://chipply.com/blog/are-online-stores-worth-it-for-small-teams-or-fundraisers&text=Are%20Online%20Stores%20Worth%20It%20for%20Small%20Teams%20or%20Fundraisers?description=🎯%20The%20Short%20Answer:%20Absolutely—If%20You’re%20Using%20the%20Right%20Platform%20For%20many%20dealers%20and%20decorators,%20small%20team%20or%20fundraising%20accounts%20can%20feel%20like%20a%20lot%20of[...]&media=https://44059364.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/44059364/Worth%20it%20for%20small%20teams%20and%20fundraisers%20.png) --- #### [The Bottom Line: Chipply is a Platform that Puts People First Previous Post](https://chipply.com/blog/the-bottom-line-chipply-is-a-platform-that-puts-people-first) #### [Chipply’s Unified Platform Outpaces Fragmented Suites Next Post](https://chipply.com/blog/built-as-one-chipplys-unified-platform-outpaces-fragmented-suites) --- ## Related Posts [Online Stores](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/online-stores), [Pop Up Stores](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/pop-up-stores), [eCommerce](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/ecommerce), [Best Practices](https://chipply.com/blog/tag/best-practices) [Team Chipply](https://chipply.com/blog/author/team-chipply) 24 September, 2026 #### [How to Scale Your Team Store Business](https://chipply.com/blog/how-to-scale-your-team-store-business) Running one successful team store is one thing.
