The Problem

Boards are increasingly adopting cashless payments for their numerous benefits but the existing systems are incomplete. In-person events like school fairs, movie nights, and dance-a-thons often still rely on cash, unsafe workarounds like play money or require rigid pre-purchases, leading to challenges:

Inefficient Fundraising: Mandatory pre-purchases frustrate students and parents, limiting their ability to decide what and how much to buy during events, which can negatively impact fundraising.

Unsecured Payments: Cash and less secure alternatives like paper tickets or play money pose risks of theft, loss, and fraud, while adding a heavy administrative burden for volunteers and staff.

Parental Concerns: Parents face rigid pre-purchases and high-friction processes like pre-order validations during events, along with safety worries about kids carrying cash.
