Times are tough. Just last week, Australia officially entered a recession. Lockdowns are continuing to put pressure on many traditional forms of fundraising.
At the same time, more than ever before, your beneficiaries depend on you finding new sources of income.
Selling products or merchandise to your supporters is a great way to raise more funds. With everyone stuck at home, online shopping is booming (just ask Jeff Bezos).
However, if you’re not a retail or IT expert, running an online store can be challenging.
Fulfilling orders and managing stock can take a lot of time and effort. Setting up an online shopping platform and the complex IT systems to support it can be a tech nightmare..
Thankfully, there’s an easy solution to all these problems. The PFS Webstore platform will help you raise more funds, without all the headaches that can come with e-commerce.
One platform for total online delivery
The Webstore platform makes it easy to outsource all aspects of distributing your products – from picking them, packing them, posting them and banking the money.
This automated online delivery platform will streamline your workflows and cut your distribution costs. Yet it still gives you visibility and control.
The heart of Webstore is a secure merchandise and campaign management system. This secure back-end solution looks after all your merchandise, online ordering, reporting, distribution and order management needs. It makes distributing your products and connecting with your supporters effortless.
