Keep more of your booster club funds.
On a $1,000 stadium banner sponsorship, a 20% platform keeps $200. UnitTally's fee caps at $20 — for athletic, band, drama, and academic booster clubs running sponsorships, spirit wear, and equipment sales.
What UnitTally does for booster club fundraising
Capped sponsorship fees
When a local business sponsors your stadium banner for $1,000, a 20% platform keeps $200 of it. UnitTally caps your platform fee at $20, so your club keeps about $150 more after Stripe processing.
Automatic seller credit
Tracking who sold which hoodie or wreath shouldn't require hours of VLOOKUPs. UnitTally generates a private attribution link for each student or athlete so sales are credited automatically.
Role-based access
Sharing a single login exposes your bank connection. UnitTally gives treasurers, presidents, and campaign coordinators their own role-based seats.
How a season runs on UnitTally
Set up the season's products
Build your spirit wear, equipment, and sponsorship products with the variants a season needs — hoodie sizes, colors, banner tiers. Give treasurers, presidents, and coordinators their own role-based seats so no one shares the bank connection.
Run the spirit wear drive
Each student or athlete gets a private attribution link. When their family and friends buy a hoodie or warm-up, the sale credits to that seller automatically — no end-of-drive VLOOKUPs to work out who sold what.
Sell sponsor banners
Sell stadium and field banner sponsorships to local businesses. When a sponsor pays by card, the platform fee caps at $20 per transaction, so a large sponsorship is not cut by a percentage; a sponsor who pays by check carries a $0 platform fee. Log the sponsorship and email an itemized confirmation for the business's records.
Reconcile and hand off
Record cash and check drop-offs at a $0 platform fee. Card and cash sit side by side in one ledger, so the athletic, band, and drama books reconcile in one place instead of across separate spreadsheets.
At season's end, every campaign — spirit wear, sponsorships, and equipment sales — sits in one ledger, backed by a full append-only audit trail you can export as a CSV for the board.
The sponsorship drive
Suppose your athletic booster club sells field banner sponsorships for $250.00 each. A take-rate platform charging 20% would take $50.00 from every sponsorship.
With UnitTally's capped per-transaction fee (on our Free plan), your group keeps $235.90 after Stripe's standard card processing. That is an extra $35.90 kept in your athletic fund on every banner sold.
| Platform | Fee | Your Org Keeps |
|---|---|---|
| 20% platform | $50.00 | $200.00 |
| UnitTally Free plan (card + Stripe) | $14.10* | $235.90 |
| UnitTally Free plan (cash/check) | $0.00 | $250.00 |
Frequently asked questions
Can we sell sponsorships and physical merchandise in the same cart?
Yes. Supporters can buy a $500 stadium banner sponsorship and a $25 spirit wear hoodie in a single checkout, saving them time and saving your club extra card transaction fees.
Do we need our own Stripe account to accept cards?
Yes. To keep fees as low as possible, card transactions go directly from the buyer to your booster club's own Stripe account. Setting one up takes 10 minutes, and we guide your board through the connection.
Does the platform fee cap apply to corporate donations?
Yes. UnitTally caps the platform fee at $20 on any single transaction. Whether a local company donates $1,000 or $5,000, your platform fee is capped, saving your club hundreds of dollars compared to percentage-based platforms.
