My Order Bag is a software platform that allows direct sales consultants to grow their business faster through fundraising and easy online ordering.
Replacing an inefficient process
My Order Bag needed a system that would be powerful, easy to use, scalable, robust, easy to maintain, flexible enough to cope with future needs, and of course be secure and GDPR compliant.
Prior to My Order Bag, direct sales consultants were managing everything offline. Orders would be taken offline, credit card details would be passed to the consultant offline, and the shoppers would browse the catalog offline (or via images online) then write the item code down to give to the consultant. It was time-consuming for everybody involved, prone to errors (consultants would spend a lot of time chasing shoppers due to incorrect credit card details), and insecure.
It was definitely time for something new.
Online shopping, online payments
My Order Bag allows consultants to host an online event with pre-populated products, where users can shop online.
Payments are made directly from the shopper to the consultant via Stripe Connect.
Consultants get detailed reports about the event, including order summaries and aggregated product totals that are subsequently uploaded to the enterprise ordering system.
Fundraising
Another use case for My Order Bag is for fundraising events, where the consultant can host an event that raises money for a specific cause. The beneficiary of that cause would then send the link to their supporters, adding their marketing channels to help spread the word.
My Order Bag includes some features specific to fundraising such as a leaderboard of contributors, a progress bar if a fundraising goal has been set.
