Name of the sale * What it is for

Shown to members when they donate, and to buyers when they browse. One or two sentences.

Your logo

Sits beside the name at the top of the marketplace and in the footer. A square image works best.

Banner image

Optional. Sits above the headline on the marketplace, full width. Without one the top of the page is a clean gradient.

Accent colour

Locations are set up once for your organization and reused by every fundraiser. Each one keeps its own total.

Add a location

It gets its own ledger, its own join link and its own total.

Joining Approve each member before they can donate

Off means anybody who follows a location's link can start donating. On means somebody at that location lets them in first.

Photographs

At least

At most

One is the floor, because a listing with no picture does not sell. Three is worth encouraging and ten is as many as anybody scrolls.

Categories

Members pick from these. Turn off anything you will not take — a hall with no room for furniture should not be offered it.

Limits Most items one member may have waiting

Counts everything not yet sold or turned down. Leave it empty for no limit.

How to bring things in

Shown to a member the moment their donation is approved, which is when they need it.

Final price set by

Volunteers never price anything either way. It is the one decision that moves money, so it stays with an admin.

Ask members what they think it is worth

A suggestion, kept beside the final price rather than replacing it — so a member who suggested two hundred can see it went for one seventy-five, and who decided that.

Show the member's suggestion to buyers

Usually off. A buyer who sees "worth $200" beside a $175 price reads it as a discount you did not offer.

Everything is collected from, or delivered from, the location that received it — never from the member's home. That is not a setting.

When things can be collected

A location can override this with its own hours.

Offer delivery as well as collection

Ask members whether an item is large or heavy

A wardrobe and a toaster are not the same delivery. Asking at donation is cheaper than finding out on the day.

Not everything comes from a member. Anything you already have goes straight in as received — you are standing next to it. Photograph it and price it here, and it goes on the marketplace with everything else.
