How does it work?

1. 1. 1. 1. Complete the online questionnaire or the contact form on this website and we will be in contact with you to take you through the process.
         2. We will set up a website for your online fund raising activities similar to this site. You will have your own website address eg. yourschool.ezyfundraising.com It can be set up on your existing website’s server if certain pre-requisites are satisfied.
         3. You can customise your site with your own colours and images. You can include logos and links for sponsors and donors of prizes and add other events if you wish such as if the raffle is being drawn at a fund raising event.
         4. If you want to take payments by Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit and debit cards you will need to set up an account with Stripe, www.stripe.com/au , The standard transaction fees as at June 2016 are 1.75%  + 30¢ per transaction. There are reduced rates for registered charities. The process is streamlined if your organisation already has an Australian Business Number (ABN). You can apply for an ABN at The Australian Business Register.   This will transfer the funds collected from credit card purchases to your bank account after a short period. This is 7 days after the transaction. This is to allow for the possibility of refund claims.
         5. You will need to have an SSL certificate for your domain. This is required for processing credit cards even though your website does retain any credit card information using Stripe. This costs AUD32.99 including GST for one year.  We will arrange and install the SSL certificate for you. You can recover the GST if registered for GST.
         6. We will teach you and provide written and video instructions with screen shots on how to easily set up new fund raising activities. These can be run in conjunction with traditional fund raising methods. We will also provide support to your committee’s successors. Our documentation should provide an easy transition.
         7. There is a function by which all the order details including order numbers and purchasers can viewed by authorised organisers and can also be exported into an excel spreadsheet for accounting purposes and, in the case raffles, manual draws.
         8. Purchasers emails are automatically integrated with your MailChimp account  (MailChimp is free for less than 2,000 email addresses). MailChimp can be used to notify ticket holders of the results of the raffle draw and about future raffles and fund raising activities.
         9. You can have different prices for multiple purchases (eg. in the case of raffles, 10 tickets for the price of 9)
         10. It is your responsibility to comply with government requirements regarding fund raising. Check out our Resources Page  as a starting point.
         11. Subject to the laws of your State you may fund raise (such as run a raffle) on behalf of a not-for-profit organisation but you will need their written authority. If you don’t have an ABN you can use the direct deposit / EFT option, Paypal.me , or both.
         12. You have control of the funds. Payments are made directly into bank account, Stripe account, Paypal account, or a combination of your accounts.
         13. Continuing email and telephone support at no extra cost to your committee, staff  and volunteers and their successors;
         14. Integrate with your organisation’s Facebook page and sell  directly from that page as well;
         15. You can include a donation option if you wish;
         16. Sponsor / donor banners can be displayed with links back to their website or Facebook page.
         17. We invoice you after the first raffle.
