Store

Store is your club's ongoing merchandise shop. You list products (spirit wear, gear, concessions preorders — anything with a fixed price, optionally in sizes/colors), members and guests shop it and check out, and you fulfill and track orders here.

Where to find it: Finance & Events card → Store button, then choose the Products, Orders, or Reports tab.

Who can use this: Club Admins, and board members granted the Manage Store permission. Every action described below is available equally to both — there's no platform-admin-only functionality in Store.

What you can do here

Products tab

Create and edit a product

  1. Click New product.
  2. Fill in the fields (full list in Field reference below) — only Name and Price are required.
  3. Click Save. The button shows the live price you're about to save (e.g. "Save — $19.99") so you can double-check it before confirming.

To edit later, click the pencil icon on that product's row.

Variants vs. option groups

Store gives you two different tools for choices on a product — pick whichever fits:

Publish or hide a product

There's no separate "publish" step — a product is visible to members and the public storefront the moment it's saved with Active checked (the default for new products). To take a product off the storefront without deleting it, click its Eye/EyeOff icon in the Products table (or uncheck Active in the edit form) — it instantly disappears from the storefront and shows a "Hidden" badge in your list. Check Featured to promote a product into the storefront's Featured section at the top.

Delete a product

Click the trash icon on a product's row. If the product has never been ordered, it's deleted outright. If existing orders reference it, it's deactivated instead of deleted so past order history stays intact — the confirmation dialog tells you this before you commit.

Orders tab

Use the status filter at the top to narrow the list (each status shows its own live count). Click any row to open its details.

Order detail

You'll see the customer's contact info, any students tagged to the order, a shipping address if one was collected, and the full line-item breakdown (product, chosen options, quantity, price, total). A note field lets you attach a comment to whatever status change you make next — it's saved permanently in that order's status history.

Move an order through its lifecycle

Buttons appear based on the order's current status:

From status Button Moves to
Awaiting payment Mark paid Paid
Paid Mark fulfilled Fulfilled
Fulfilled Mark shipped Shipped
Fulfilled or Shipped Mark completed Completed

If the product needs shipping, fill in Tracking Number and Carrier before clicking Mark shipped — the app lets you proceed without one, but shows a reminder that a tracking number is recommended.

Cancel vs. refund

These are two different actions and it matters which one you use:

Both actions let you enter an optional reason, which is saved to the order's audit history.

Reports tab

Overview tiles

At the top: total Revenue, count of Paid orders (with a link to view them), Average order value, and counts of Products and refunded orders.

Status breakdown

Click any status tile (Paid, Shipped, etc.) to drill into just the orders in that status, shown in a table below. Click Clear drilldown to return to the full view.

Sales summary by item

The main reporting tool — a filterable, exportable table of sales grouped by product.

Note: If you see a banner saying the backend capped how many orders it scanned, narrow your date range or filters — the totals shown may be incomplete until you do.

Reconciliation exceptions

A table of mismatches the system found between orders and their payments (useful to review before closing your books for the month) — each row shows a severity, a code, and a description of what doesn't line up.

What members and the public see

Once a product is Active, it appears on the club's Storefront, grouped into Featured and category sections. Shoppers pick a variant and any required options, set a quantity, and add to cart. The cart drawer collects name and email (required), phone (optional), and a student selection if the product requires one — then Continue to payment sends them to checkout. After checkout, shoppers see their own recent orders with live status badges, and can resume payment on any order still awaiting payment.

Your admin actions show up for them immediately: hiding a product removes it from the storefront in real time, and updating an order's status (e.g. to Shipped) updates the badge the customer sees on their own order right away.

Common questions

Does clicking Refund send the customer's money back? No. It only marks the order as refunded here for your records — you must issue the actual refund in Stripe or Square yourself first.

How do I take a product off the store without losing its order history? Toggle it to Hidden (the Eye/EyeOff icon) instead of deleting it. Deleting is only for products with no order history; the app will deactivate instead of delete if orders reference it.

What's the difference between a variant and an option group? Variants affect price and/or stock (size, color). Option groups are choices that don't change price or stock (a preference, a monogram letter, etc.).

A shopper says checkout failed — what do I check? Confirm the product still has stock in the selected variant, and that every required option and student field (if the product requires one) was filled in — the storefront blocks checkout until those are satisfied.

Troubleshooting

If you see... It means... Do this
"Name is required" You tried to save a product with a blank name Enter a name
"Price must be a non-negative number" Price field is blank, negative, or not a number Enter a valid price of $0 or more
Delete confirmation mentions deactivation This product has existing order history Expected — it will be hidden, not erased
"Tracking number recommended for shipped status" You clicked Mark shipped with no tracking number entered Optional — you can proceed, or add a tracking number first
Order stuck on "Refunded" with the customer saying they got no money Refund only updates status here Process the actual refund in your Stripe/Square dashboard
Report totals look incomplete with a capped-scan banner Your date range/filters returned more orders than the backend will scan at once Narrow the date range or filters and re-run
