How do Online Sales work?

This article explains how online sales work

Updated this week

Online sales allow Scouts to sell Trail’s End products through a personal online store. Supporters place orders directly through the Scout’s link, and products are shipped straight to the supporter’s home - no inventory or cash handling required.

How online sales work: step by step

Step 1: Customize your online store

Scouts can personalize their online store by adding photos and updating their Scout story. A customized page helps supporters feel more connected and can increase sales.

Step 2: Share your store link

Share your online store link with supporters by:

  • Text message

  • Email

  • Social media

  • QR code

The more you share, the more opportunities for supporters to shop.

Step 3: Supporters shop and checkout

Supporters browse products on your online store and complete their purchase directly on the website using their preferred payment method.

Step 4: Orders ship directly to supporters

Trail’s End handles all fulfillment and shipping.

Important note about pre-orders:
Items marked as “Pre-Order” will ship once the weather cools, typically in October, to prevent heat-related product issues.


Why sell online?

Online sales offer several benefits for Scouts and families:

  • 1.25 Reward Points per $1 sold

  • Bonus 0.5 Reward Points per $1 on Heroes & Helpers™ items

  • $5.99 flat-rate shipping per order

  • No inventory or cash handling

  • Additional products available online

  • Orders ship directly to supporters


What is the deadline for online orders?

The deadline for online orders for the current selling season is:

December 31 at midnight UTC (7:00 PM Eastern Time)

Orders placed after this deadline will be credited to the next selling season.
