Are Online Stores Worth It for Small Teams or Fundraisers?

🎯 The Short Answer: Absolutely—If You’re Using the Right Platform

For many dealers and decorators, small team or fundraising accounts 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.
