The SuccessFund app is the free point-of-sale app for schools that enables you to transact anywhere, with optional hardware that lets your supporters pay any way they want. Use SuccessFund to sell concessions, tickets, apparel, potatoes, or any other products. Use it to run a car wash, host a tournament, sell sponsorships, or run a camp or clinic. Use it to sell memberships and t-shirts, or manage your fun run for your parent organization (PTA, PTO, Community Council, Booster Club, etc.) Use it to host a gala, a golf tournament, a race, a silent auction, or any other charitable event. SuccessFund is how school organizations process payments. Use the SuccessFund app with a card reader for contactless and chip payments to allow customers to pay touch free using payment links, QR codes, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and EMV chip cards. Allow them to pay using their watch, phone, or any other NFC enabled device. Plus accept payments from 450 million Venmo and Paypal users on SuccessFund. That's right, your patrons can finally use Venmo to pay at your school either online or in person with the SuccessFund app. This is not an app for parents, patrons, or students - they don't need to install any sort of app, and they don't need to sign up, or login - ever. Do it all within school and district policy. Sign in to the SuccessFund app to access your free online campaigns. From there, start accepting payments and managing order fulfillment for pickup, delivery, or admission. Pre-sell admission in advance and redeem those purchases at the door, look up orders by name, or take payments all through the app in seconds. No. More. Lines.
