Girls can earn extra rewards when they make sales through their digital cookie web site.
Check your email for an email from:
“Girl Scout Cookies email@email.girlscouts.org”
On January 4th.
Try searching your email for “digital cookies”.
If this doesn’t work, go to this link and request an email.
Digital Cookie Log In
Here you can set up your scout’s digital cookie page.
This link can be shared through email.
Digital Cookie Processing
You can also use this link to process in person orders with free credit card processing. During pre-orders, anything run through the app will need to be pre-paid as well. After cookies come in this shouldn’t be an issue because you will have cookies in hand. However, the link requires you to collect all the customer’s contact info.
Once your scout has run 100 boxes through the digital cookie link (including parcel shipped online orders) it’s probably simpler to use Square.
Square-up Processing
I will also be setting up free processing with Square processing links for every girl. With this you’ll be able to take a card with just the card info. You can use the Square app. Square also allows you to enter the order and select “invoice” instead of a payment method. This will allow you to text/email a link to the customer. They can enter their payment info themselves, on their own device, or at a later time if needed. The deposit will be tagged with your scout’s code and we’ll add that against the scout’s amount due.
For Square payments cards can be entered by hand OR I have several swipe readers that go in your headphone jack you may borrow.
Also, if a customer wants to pre pay a pre order you can send an invoice without having to collect sensitive card info jotted down somewhere else. Sometimes, just before delivery, I send out invoices and many pay at that time.

While we have not had major isues with accepting checks, most people have a debit card associated with their checking account. Thus, there’s little reason to accept a check and the associated risk. While we will accept a check, a card is preferred. Checks should be made out to “Girl Scouts Troop 5125”.
