One engine, local identity

A fundraising storefront people will want to revisit.

The platform handles the repeatable commerce pattern. Each council keeps the part customers see and remember: its own name, story, imagery, roast collection, and unit community.

01

Distinct council brand

Local enough to feel owned.

Every council receives a hosted storefront and coffee presentation shaped around its geography, program, and visual identity.

02

Subscription first

Build dependable support, one delivery at a time.

Customers can mix roasts and bag quantities, then manage payment and subscription status online.

03

Troop attribution

Let customers name the unit they support.

Credited unitTroop 36

The association is captured with the paid order and included in council reporting. The council decides how commissions are shared.

04

No coffee inventory

Leave roasting and shipping to the supplier.

Paid orders flow to the drop-shipping partner, while customer and council views stay under the Scouting Coffee experience.

Straightforward economics

Every paid bag creates a clear council record.

A bag sells for $20.00 before shipping and tax. $6.00 is recorded as council commission. Refunds and disputes are reconciled before a period is finalized.

Shipping and applicable tax are separate. The council remains responsible for any internal distribution based on troop attribution.

From roast to report

Designed to stay simple for the customer—and useful for the council.

The same controlled path supports a first purchase, a recurring household order, and the council’s month-end handoff.
