Cheddar Up

Pros: I believe that Cheddar Up has been very helpful in the way that my Girl Scout troop conducts business. We use the upgraded feature and are able to accept money for troop dues for outings that we go on for basic necessities and it has been very easy to use for parents and Troop Leader leaders. Payment processing is not an issue with Cheddar Up. There is a slight fee that our parents pay or we pay for them to use the services but we don’t have to take cash payments anymore and it seems like it’s more convenient for our families. Of course there are many features that Cheddar Up offers so it is a learning curve to get started, but once you get the hang of it, you’re moving very swiftly through the system.

Cons: There isn’t anything that I don’t like about Cheddar Up services it’s more of you having to learn how to use it to the best of your ability and for what you’re looking for.

Pros: The ease of using it. Cheddar Up makes it easy to do everything from volunteer sign up to actually collecting money for our events we hold. Being able to add all your information, including flyers, onto the event is wonderful. I don't have to use multiple pages to do this, it's all in one place. Being able to ask all the questions needed for the members that are registering for an event is great also. You can ask as many different questions and even multiple choice questions with answers and everything is altogether. Printing our different reports that are needed for our events or volunteer list is easy to do and and they are easy to read. The cost of using cheddar up is minimal and our organization finds it perfect. Payments are easy to be make whether with credit card or cash or an e check. Everything is processed and cleared quickly and then deposited into our bank account just as quickly.

Cons: I wish there was an area to save a list of frequently asked questions on my registration links. It would make it easier when I have to ask the questions on our events. We often ask the same questions on all our events, So having a preset set of questions saved would make it easier and quicker.

Pros: Clean appearance, easy to set up and easy for our families to use. The value for the cost of our membership is fantastic since it is bundled with our MoneyMinder subscription.

Cons: Sometimes it’s hard to have to click through so many pages. Example we have a sign up to donate money or items and the first page only shows the option to donate money and you don’t see the option to donate food items until you move on the next page.

Pros: The ease of setting up collections and sales. We love the ability to send out links for our sales as well as collect payments in person

Cons: We haven't found a downside yet. I guess is there was something I would improve would be the ability to add at least one more user to the account instead of having to upgrade to the teams account

Pros: It is so user-friendly and easy to accept credit cards for our PTA. We love that the fees are paid by the customer and they are cheaper than other credit card platforms. There are so many great templates and different things you can create with your fundraisers and donation drives. We also love the point-of-sale features and how easy it is too transfer the money to our bank account.

Cons: Some times the credit card reader and point of sale give us trouble in the moment of collecting money. This could be a wifi issue or software issue, but I don't think it is a platform issue. Everything else is great.

Pros: Our organization has been able to streamline all of our sign-ups, volunteers, sponsorships, and merchandise sales in one location. We love that we can assign different collections to different members. The customer support we have received has been incredible! Always fast & they fix our issues right away.

Cons: The hardest part for a non-profit is getting our sponsors & families to help with covering the convenience fees. Everyone is starting to understand the costs associated with the convenience of using a credit card, so that is getting easier.

Pros: Cheddar Up is incredibly easy to quickly setup payment links for team collections, events or other activities we need for our school booster club. Linking to our bank is easy and money transfers are generally 1-2 days. Having the option for donors and payers to cover fees makes sure we raise as much money has possible and is much more affordable than other credit card payment solutions.

Cons: I've had no bad experiences, but if I had to nitpick, sometimes updated URLs to payment links can be tricky if you're duplicating a collection for a new team or year.

Pros: Super easy to use for our PTO. User friendly and more affordable than the clunkier software we used last year. Very happy that our team can work together to build a site that works great for our school needs.

Cons: We are still waiting on a payment transfer but hopefully that will be smooth. I don't foresee any issues though.

Pros: Makes business operations accessible and less chaotic. They have a somewhat affordable plan range and convenient design.

Cons: There were issues on the customers end, although to be fair, it could be because of issues on their end, instead of Cheddar-Up's end. Overall, I really don't have any complaints.

Pros: Cheddar Up makes fundraising and organizing so much easier. I use it for team fundraisers and for my small business. It’s clean, secure, and easy for families to use. No more chasing checks or juggling spreadsheets!

Cons: I wish Cheddar Up had a built-in live auction feature. It would make it even more useful for fundraisers and events where bidding and real-time engagement are key.

Pros: I setup our Makers Market, and I must say—setup was a breeze! Everything was well-organized and easy to create.

Cons: The cons included self teaching myself how to setup the site. However, after the first time of setting this up- you are ready to take on the world!

Pros: It’s easy to set up and eliminates the need for us to manually collect money for fundraisers or events.

Cons: I wish I could have at least 2 collections running at a time without having to buy a membership or having a non-profit account. It would also be nice to be able to have users different options to make payments without having to purchase a membership.

Pros: The platform was easy to set up. The fees were transparent, and the data collection is simple.

Cons: Paying for templates. I originally set up a template and didn't realize I was in a paid template, so I lost all the information.

Pros: Easy instructions, excellent presentation, and easy to use. User friendly.

Cons: The cost of pre-transaction is too high.

Pros: It's integrations with Zapier and MoneyMinder are really helpful for a small club.

Cons: I wish we could create QR codes for Items in a collection rather than just the entire collection. That would make it easier to promote specific items without having to create a unique collection.

Pros: Easy to set up and easy for people to use!

Cons: Nothing/ from start to finish it was easy and convenient.

Pros: early allows us to get payments from our fundrasing eff

Cons: simple to use - nothing comes to mind - -

Pros: That I did not have to handle cash with young children and their parent could easily pay online.

Cons: That I had to view the form selections via email and not in the app.

Pros: Cheddar Up is intuitive and User Friendly

Cons: I have no complaints. Cheddar Up fully meets my expectations.

Pros: The efficiency and ability to create exactly what is needed for your specific event.

Cons: The wait for funds to clear is the only thing I guess I can say is a con. It would be nice to have instant access.

Pros: We love using this for volunteer opportunities as well as tickets for non-profit events. It has been an incredible resource for our group!

Cons: nothing. It truly is so user friendly and customizable!

Pros: It’s an easy platform to maneuver and it ABSOLUTELY gets the job done.

Cons: I can’t say there is anything I don’t like. For me using it as a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), it gives me exactly what I need to engage with my parents.

Pros: Easy to use for our group to collect annual donations to cover group expenses.

Cons: Cheddar Up did everything our group needed.
