Popup Shops with People's Fundraising

Fundraise through products without running a traditional shop

Many organisations would like to generate income from product sales but do not want the cost and complexity of holding stock, arranging fulfilment and managing a separate ecommerce operation.

Popup Shops provide a different model: participating suppliers make products available, supporters buy through the fundraising experience and the good cause can share in the resulting commission.

This makes product-based fundraising easier to add to seasonal campaigns, supporter communications and wider fundraising activity.

Popup Shop fundraising features

  • Offer supplier products — give supporters access to products from participating suppliers without sourcing your own stock.
  • Share in commission — generate fundraising income from qualifying purchases made through your Popup Shop activity.
  • Avoid upfront stock costs — add product-based fundraising without buying inventory in advance.
  • Reduce operational complexity — use a supplier-fulfilled model rather than running every part of a traditional online shop yourself.
  • Support seasonal campaigns — use Popup Shops for Christmas, gifts, events and other timely fundraising opportunities.
  • Connect with wider fundraising — combine supplier products with donations, events, raffles, shops and other People's Fundraising tools.

More than product commission fundraising

Popup Shops are most powerful when they complement your existing supporter relationship rather than standing alone.
