Your 1:1 Shop
eCommerce Solutions for 1:1 Programs
Most 1:1 programs include some parent/student responsibility. Family participation can include Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) for certain grades, family device purchases, or add-ons like insurance and accessory options. Leaving the purchases to families leaves the district with almost no control and little influence over buying decisions.
Your 1:1 Shop is a customized service that lets school districts guide purchases while raising funds.
We manage:
- The secure shopping site
- Collecting payment and sales tax
- Paying vendors and suppliers
- Shipping and delivery
- Optional white-glove services
We offer to operating modes: school store and fundraising sale. Both provide a revenue share for your school or an affiliated non-profit.
School Store Mode
When setup as a school store, Your 1:1 Shop is open year-round. The product selection is authorized by you and can include preferred devices and device configurations, tech-safe backpacks and cases, assistive devices, extended warranty and insurance plans, and accessories.
- We provide you with template marketing and communication materials
- Parents purchase directly from Your 1:1 Shop
- We ship directly to the family (or to the school for pickup, as an option)
- We collect payment, manage sales taxes, and pay the vendors
- We pay a percentage of gross sales margin to the school, district, related non-profit, or foundation
Fundraising Mode
We setup Your 1:1 Shop as a fundraising sales site with a fixed window for placing orders. You select and approve all products in the store.
- We provide you with template marketing and communication materials
- Parents order and pay for devices, accessories, and services during a fixed duration shopping window (usually 4 to 6 weeks)
- We collect payment, manage sales taxes, and pay the vendors
- We pay a percentage of gross sales margin to the school, district, related non-profit, or foundation
- At the end of the shopping window, we order from vendors in bulk
- We ship all purchased delivered to the school, usually at no cost
- You have the option to pre-configure devices
- You have the option for white glove setup and configuration services before we ship to you
- You (or volunteers from the parents’ group or foundation) match the items to the orders and distribute them to students
