FAQ

Questions from group leaders.

Can't find your answer? We're happy to help — online, over the phone, via email or in person.

How do we get started?

Set up your fundraiser with us online, over the phone, via email or in person. The quickest way is our sign-up form — we will email you within 24 hours of your submission.

Can our supporters order online?

Yes. Each seller scans the QR code on the cover of their packet to create their own online store link, then shares it with family and friends to shop or donate.

For ZBest, supporters scan the QR code on the parent letter to go straight to the online store. Please note all ZBest online orders are delivered to the school for the student to distribute — so remember to add the organization and participant's name when ordering online.

How do I log in to our catalog fundraiser?

Log in at shop.schoolshopping.org. The online website is available 5 days before your fundraiser begins.

  • Your login School ID is on your cover/parent letter (example: SS7105).
  • The default password is the group leader's last name, in lower case.
What do we do with paper order forms when the sale ends?

Collect all order forms. If you want the teacher's name on the boxes, separate the forms and clip them together by teacher.

  • Butter Braid & Wooden Spoon: enter the paper orders into your online store spreadsheet.
  • Catalog fundraisers: mail the top white copy of the order form immediately — mailing it late may delay delivery — to:
Gateway Fundraising
Attn: Michelle St. Martin
398 W Channel Road
Benicia, CA 94510

Keep the pink copy for your records.

What happens on delivery day?

Orders are labeled alphabetically by seller’s last name for an easy, simple pick-up. For catalog fundraisers, alphabetize the yellow copies by last name to give to each seller on delivery day.

Please have 2–3 people to help unload pallets — it takes approximately 15 minutes to unload one pallet.

How does our group pay BB West?

Your group reconciles the money and deposits it into the group's bank account. BB West provides a sales report of the fundraiser and emails an invoice to your organization's contact. Make your check payable to BB West and mail it to:

BB West
10300 Pleasant Grove School Rd
Elk Grove, CA 95624
Do you offer prizes or incentives for sellers?

Yes — prize programs and incentives are available. Our Incentive Ideas sheet has no-cost and little-cost ideas, from a pizza or popcorn party to letting top sellers be principal for a day.
