This Guide will help you set-up and use your team s new fundraising website! Please let us know if you need any assistance or have any questions. This document will be updated regularly as we receive your valuable feedback and add new features over the next few months. Last updated: October 19, 2015 Logging In: After your email address has been registered to the team account you can login anytime. Enter the team s fundraising website URL into the top search bar of any web page. This URL has been set by Growing Smiles and is emailed to the site admin. Example: teamname.growingsmilesfundraising.com On the Home page you need to login by selecting the Login tab on the right-hand side of the menu bar. Enter in your email address and the password that you had created upon registration. To confirm you are logged in as a team admin you will be able to see a Team tab on the menu bar now. IMPORTANT: Upon creation of a team fundraising website by Growing Smiles the team coordinator will receive an email with the website details and link to login for the first time. This registration link is valid for one-time use only so please register your email address with your account immediately. If you cannot see the Team tab then this indicates that you are not logged in as an admin for the page. We recommend using Google Chrome when possible. Updating Products & Pricing: View the team s cost on all products View / Change the retail pricing on each item (we recommend using the default pricing suggested) View the estimated profit for each item auto-calculated from the retail pricing that has been set Enable and disable items the team would like to sell (we recommend selling all items) After you have logged in as an admin, select Products under the Team tab of the menu bar. Review the cost and suggested retail if you would like to change the retail cost update the Sell column. This should automatically update the estimated profit. When you are satisfied with the retail value of an item please Enable it by selecting Yes in the last column so that it will appear on the website for your customers to purchase. To check if an item is enabled for sale this column will be green for yes or red for no. Please remember to SAVE your changes with the save button at the bottom before leaving this page. The first time an admin logs into the team page the pricing should be set-up for each item BEFORE the URL is distributed to customers. We recommend keeping the suggested items and retail prices for optimal sales.
