Who is this built for?
Clubs selling their own gear, tournament directors selling event merchandise, event companies with ticketed events, and assignors outfitting their officials. A company switches the Store on and gives it to the people who run its merchandise.
What does the Online Store cost?
Nothing, for a company that sells its event tickets through iPLEXsports: your store, an event shop for every event and the point of sale at the door. Tickets are 50¢ each, the only thing the platform charges an organiser for. Card payments run through your own Stripe or Square account, at your own processing rate.
Can I sell clothing in sizes and colours?
Yes. A product can have up to two options, such as size and colour, and every combination has its own SKU, its own stock and, if you want, its own price. Presets fill in adult, youth and women’s sizes, socks and hats. A product with no sizes, like a cap or a bottle, is just as easy.
What is an event shop?
A mini-store for one of your tournaments or ticketed events. You tick which products it sells, give any of them its own price, set pickup at the venue, shipping or both, and when it opens and closes. It has its own link and sells from the same stock as your store.
Where does the money go?
Into your company’s own Stripe or Square account, the one on its Business Profile. Every payment is checked with Stripe or Square before an order is marked paid, and a refund goes back to the buyer’s card through the same account.
How does shipping work?
You choose: pickup, a flat shipping charge with free shipping over an amount you set, or live rates from your own EasyPost, Shippo, USPS, UPS or FedEx account. With live rates the buyer picks the service at checkout, and you buy the label from the order.
Can I sell at the event too?
Yes. Each event shop has a point of sale: open its counter on a tablet or phone at each table and sell the event’s passes and the shop’s merchandise in one sale — paid in cash, by a card typed in, by a card tapped on your own Stripe card reader or Square Terminal, by card on another terminal, or as a comp. Your staff use a counter link with no sign-in. The stock comes off at once, and passes are shown, printed or emailed.
What card readers work at the counter?
A Stripe card reader — the BBPOS WisePOS E or the Stripe Reader S700 or S710 — on a Stripe account, or a Square Terminal on a Square account. You pair it yourself under Business Profile, with no app to install: the counter sends the amount to the reader, and the buyer taps, inserts or swipes.
Do buyers need an account?
No. Parents and fans open the link, choose sizes, and pay by card. The only exception is a members-only store, which is for an assignor’s officials, signed in.
Can an assignor sell uniforms to their officials only?
Yes. A members-only store is open to the officials on that assignor’s roster. They find it on their officials dashboard and their phone’s Game Day view, and nobody else can see what it sells.
