Buy upfront. Keep every dollar you sell.
An activation turns on one supporter card, digital or printed. Buy them ahead of time and pay less per card, then keep everything your members bring in. We ship printed cards to match your pack, and unused activations carry over to next season.

Can we set our own price?
Yes. With a pack you've already paid our share, so sell at $25 or whatever fits your community.
What if we don't use them all?
Unused activations carry over to next season as credit. Packs aren't refunded, but they don't expire.

Pricing questions
Is there any cost to get started?
Not with pay as you sell. We cover everything to get you live. You only pay if you sell fewer than 200 cards in your first 30 days, and only our half on the cards that didn't sell.
How do activation packs work?
Buy activations upfront at a lower price per card, from $12.50 for 100 down to $8.50 at 1,000 and up, and keep everything you sell. Unused activations carry over to next season. See the tiers above.
Can we keep selling after we hit our goal?
Yes. Digital cards never run out, and you keep earning $12.50 on every card for as long as you sell.
When and how do we get paid?
Payouts go out monthly by direct deposit to your group's bank account. Every sale shows on your dashboard in real time.
