Creating your Kindo Community Shop
We appreciate schools often have events and items, such as school productions, fundraising quiz nights and calendar art, that the wider community may want to support. Kindo Community Shop allows those without a student at the school to shop for items, make donations and take part in fundraisers, opening up the opportunity for more people to support your school, and simplifying administration.
The Kindo Community Shop will automatically be available and looks like this. The school name, logo and image will be copied across from your existing Kindo School Shop - so all you need to do is add items and send out the link to your community.
Kindo also takes care of the donation receipts for all donation items, for both your school shop, and now your Community Shop! Read about how to ensure this is set up correctly here.
Adding Items to your Community Shop
When you are setting up a service for your Kindo School Shop, simply tick 'show in community shop' to include this on the Community Shop in addition to ticking 'show in shop' to show on your school shop. The service will contain all of the items that you set up for your school shop.
We understand there may be times that you wish to show just on your community shop, such as a wider alumni event that you don't need open open for the current caregivers. In this case you would just tick the 'show in community shop' but leave the 'show in shop' unticked.
Sharing the link
Your community shop is automatically created, however you will need to let your wider community know that it's there!
It will have a different link, that you can add to external notices and posters as a URL, or turn it into a short URL or QR code using one of the widely available online tools.
To find the link for your Community Shop, on the Service Editor click 'Generate shareable link' and copy the Community Shop link.
