| Decide what payment method you will use for your school fundraisers. There are three options. Prepayment means the customer pays the student and the student pays the PTO before the merchandise is ordered. With a pay on pickup plan, the student pays you when he picks up the merchandise. Post pay means the customer pays the student when the customer receives the school fundraisers order, and then you collect from the student. If you require payment up front, your PTO will have the cash in hand early, and the project is essentially over when the merchandise is distributed. Generally, total sales are higher, often substantially higher, when payment is deferred for your school fundraisers.
