All items for purchase within the SchoolCash Online store are created via the Catalog. Users can create event items such as field trips or fundraisers, or physical items such as team sweatshirts or keychains. Learning to create and manage items in the catalog involve various tasks including creating items, using item templates, generating reports, handling online payments and collecting group payments.
Learn how to Create Items
Creating new items takes place in the SchoolCash Catalog section of the School Store. To begin the process, the user simply chooses ITEMS > Create A New Item. Basic fields include naming and describing the item and providing a picture if necessary. Additional sections include Financials, Availability, and Extra Options or Choices.
Create Items Using Templates
Items can be created using Templates provided by KEV. Using template can save Users a significant amount of time as key information based on the item type is already identified. Sample templates provided include Event Tickets, Field Trips and Fundraisers.
Reports are used help consolidate and understand the information stored in the Catalog. Sample reports include Item Order Report, Item Option Report, and Item Attachment Report.
Issue Refunds for Online Payments
Refunds for online payments can be done for both the Individual Student (via the STUDENT ATTACHMENTS tab) and a group of students (via the ITEMS tab). An example for an Individual Student refund would be if a student returns a team shirt that was the wrong size. An example for a group of students refund would be if a trip to the zoo was cancelled for all students.
Create Groups using Group Management
Create and manage student groups in SchoolCash, including importing group files and creating groups on the fly, making it easier to attach items to a group a students. Common examples include sports teams and clubs.
