Sell to every parent at the bake sale, not just the ones with cash.
Most parents walk up with a phone and no singles. eventCNX turns each volunteer’s phone into a checkout: tap what’s being bought, the parent scans and pays with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card, and the sale is counted. The money goes straight to your organization’s Stripe account.
Small items, quick lines.
Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, pies. The volunteer taps the item and sets how many: six cookies is one payment.
For two cookies and a brownie, the volunteer adds it up and enters the total as a mixed plate.
Each volunteer’s phone is its own checkout, so a busy table can take several payments at once.
“Keep the change” becomes a donation of any amount, counted on its own line.
- Week before
Start from the bake sale template.
Change the items and prices to what’s being baked, add your logo and set a volunteer PIN. Run a short practice with pretend payments.
- Setting up the table
Volunteers open a link and type the PIN.
No app and no account. A volunteer who joins mid-sale does the same thing in ten seconds.
- During the sale
Tap, scan, paid.
The volunteer taps the item and the quantity, the parent scans, and the screen says what to hand over. You see totals by item on the admin screen as they come in.
- After
Close the sale. The count is done.
Closing stops new sales and signs volunteers out. Totals by item and volunteer are ready, with a CSV of every sale.
Plan for small sales.
Card fees
- Stripe charges a fee on every payment, so it takes a bigger share of a $1 sale
- Sell by the plate, the bag or the dozen when you can
Mixed plates
- One payment covers one item and its quantity
- For a mix, add it up and enter the total as a mixed plate
Cash still works
- Keep a cash box if you like
- eventCNX counts the phone payments; cash stays in your box

Questions bake sale organizers ask
Do parents need to download anything?
No. They scan the volunteer’s QR with their phone camera and pay on Stripe’s checkout page.
Can someone buy different items in one payment?
One payment covers one item and its quantity. For a mixed plate, the volunteer adds it up and enters the total.
Are card fees worth it on a $1 cookie?
Stripe’s fee is charged on every payment, so small sales lose a bigger share. Selling by the plate or the bag keeps the fee down, and you still sell to parents with no cash.
Can we still take cash?
Yes. Keep a cash box if you like. eventCNX counts the phone payments; cash stays in your box.
The parents at your table have their phones out.
