Benefits Of Starting An Online School Shop

Increased revenues
Parents convenience and experience
Less Administration
Based on regular communication with decision makers at international schools in Thailand and their feedback, we know that it might be time-consuming and take some resources to manage a physical school shop. By digitizing the school shop (or a part of it) you will be able to free up time and resources and focus on your core school activities. Below we explain some examples of how you can achieve this:
Simplified Online Payments
Secure online Payments. Parents can either make the school payments directly to the school when they pick up the goods or pay by credit card. We have partnered up with the largest payment providers who are approved in your country. After a purchase by credit card, the amount will be directly paid out to the school without delay
Flexible School Activity Payments
Handle your temporary items such as excursions with our solution. We can limit the accessibility of this service to a specific group (parents) and/or classes and also during a specific period. The benefits are less cash handling and more structure in your process, it its done through your school website. With our integration with Dynatex, it is also possible to add reminders in newsletters to parents that have not paid

It is easy to promote shop items or remind parents of new gear for the upcoming season. This is possible through our integration with Dynatex
Increased Revenues
By helping the parents finding the right items quickly and easily, it will be easier for them to buy them online directly without having to visit the school shop. Our school shop system is also helping to find relevant items and promote those through our cross-selling feature. The items where you can see increased sales in, could be products that are not top of mind of the parents. These could still be of importance for the students.
