I really appreciate the ease of use and that the platform is so flexible. I can use it to collect at an event or for a donation—even to set up an online store. Cheddar Up’s ability to track item inventory so we avoid overselling is just what we need.

Cheddar Up has simplified our school district’s money collecting—from club dues to t-shirt purchases—and saves me HOURS. Having an easy way for our community to pay is a priority for our district. Cheddar Up meets that need beautifully.

Cheddar Up allowed us to increase our troop sales by taking payments for our cookie booth sales. It’s also been great for troop activities that allow us to empower our young girls to achieve great things. We love Cheddar Up!
