How do Scouts typically make online sales?
Most online sales happen when a Scout shares their online selling page with supporters.
Supporters:
Shop directly from the Scout’s page
Complete checkout themselves
Receive products shipped directly to their home

Can Scouts make online sales through the Trail’s End App®?
Yes. Online sales are completed through the Scout’s online store page, and there are two ways to do this using the app.
Option 1: Share your online store (recommended)
Scouts can quickly share their online store link from the Trail’s End App® so customers can place their own orders.
This option:
Is fastest and simplest
Reduces errors
Allows customers to enter their own payment and shipping details
See How to Share Your Scout’s Online Selling Page for step-by-step instructions.
Option 2: Help a customer place an online order
If needed, Scouts can help a customer start an online order through the app and send it to them to complete.
To do this:
Open the Trail’s End App®
Tap 'Online Sales' on the dashboard
In the My Page section, tap 'Visit Page'
Add the products the customer wants to the cart
Tap the Cart icon in the upper-right corner to begin checkout
Tap 'Share' to send the cart to the customer
The customer completes checkout using their own device and payment method
How do I view my Scout’s online orders?
Scouts can view their online orders and sales totals by logging into their account.

How do I view my Scout’s online orders from a previous year?
The Trail's End App® shows the current year only. If you need information from a previous year, please reach out to your leader who can access reports with the previous year information.
What is the deadline for online orders?
From a Trail's End System perspective, 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.
Note: In some cases, Councils set specific deadlines for sales to count for Council incentives.
