P2P / Teams Mode

P2P / Teams Mode (peer-to-peer fundraising) turns a single fundraiser into a campaign where members raise money on your behalf. Instead of one shared page, each member gets their own public fundraising page, shareable link, QR code, leaderboard position, and dashboard. The people who care about your cause spread the word for you.

It works for both product fundraisers (catalogue sales) and donation or crowdfund campaigns.

How it works at a glance

1. You enable P2P / Teams Mode on your fundraiser.
2. You add members, and optionally group them into teams.
3. Each member shares their personal fundraising page with friends and family.
4. When someone buys or donates, the sale is credited to that member and their team.
5. Leaderboards and dashboards track progress throughout the campaign.

You configure everything from Manage → P2P / Teams after your campaign is created.

Individual Mode or Team Mode

When you open P2P / Teams, you choose one of three options: Disabled (your fundraiser runs as a single page), Individual Mode, or Team Mode.

Individual Mode

Best when members are not grouped, for example a sports club where each player raises money on their own.

• A single flat list of members
• Everyone competes on one leaderboard
• Each member has their own page and shareable link
• You share one join link with the whole group
• You manage all members from your dashboard

Team Mode

Best when you want friendly competition between groups, for example a school where each class competes against the others.

• Members are grouped into named teams (classes, year groups, houses)
• Each team can have one or more team owners who manage their members
• Both team and member leaderboards are available
• Each team has its own join link
• Team owners can approve join requests and manage their team

Before you invite anyone: if you already have teams, members, or orders and you switch between Disabled, Individual Mode, and Team Mode, existing team and member data is removed. Member dashboards and public member pages stop working. Choose your mode before inviting members.

Setting up

1. Go to Manage → P2P / Teams on your fundraiser.
2. Choose Individual Mode or Team Mode.
3. Configure your settings (see below).
4. Add members: individually, in bulk by CSV, or by sharing a join link for self-registration.

Team Mode setup

For each team you create, you can set:

• Team name (for example "Room 12" or "Year 9 Blue")
• Team owners who manage that team's members. They receive a welcome email and access to a team dashboard.
• Access code (optional) to require a code before someone can join
• Team photo (optional)

Individual Mode setup

All members sit under a single list. You share one join link with your group, and you can set an access code to control who signs up.

Settings you can customise

| Setting | What it does | | --- | --- | | Member joining requires accepting | Team owners must approve join requests before someone becomes a member. On by default. | | Privacy mode | Hides teams and members from the public fundraiser page. Supporters must use a direct member link to buy or donate. | | Public leaderboard | Shows team and member rankings on the fundraiser page. On by default. | | Team/member selection required | Supporters must pick who they are supporting before checkout, unless they arrive through a member's personal link. On by default. | | Default member goal | The starting fundraising target for new members. They can change it from their own dashboard. | | Onboarding emails | Sends automated emails to help new members set goals, share their page, and stay motivated. On by default. | | Target to display | Whether the public progress bar shows the overall fundraiser target or team targets. | | Team Owners are members too | (Team Mode only) Whether team owners appear on the member leaderboard. |

Managing members

You can add, edit, and remove members across all teams. Team owners can manage members within their own team, including approving or rejecting join requests.

There are three ways to add members:

• Individually, by entering their details.
• In bulk, by importing a CSV of names and emails.
• By join link, so people sign themselves up.

Members without an email address can still be added, which helps for younger participants.

Join links

• Individual Mode: one join link for the whole fundraiser.
• Team Mode: a separate join link for each team.

When someone joins through a link, they enter their name and email, confirm their age (16 or older, or with a parent or guardian's consent), and enter an access code if you have required one. If approval is on, the team owner receives the request and can approve or reject it.

How sales and donations are credited

Every order or donation can be linked to a specific member and team. This happens in three ways:

1. Personal link (simplest): a supporter visits a member's page and checks out from there. The sale is credited automatically.
2. Checkout selection: if "Team/member selection required" is on, supporters choose who they are supporting before checkout.
3. Privacy mode + member link: when privacy mode is on, supporters must arrive through a direct member link. There is no public picker.

You can filter your order list by member to see who raised what. Raised amounts are based on completed, non-cancelled orders, and reflect your organisation's earning on each order.

Leaderboards

When the public leaderboard is on:

• Team Mode: teams are ranked by total raised, and members are ranked within each team.
• Individual Mode: all members appear on a single leaderboard.

The top few entries appear on your public fundraiser page, and members can see their own rank in their dashboard once they have their first order. Leaderboards are hidden when privacy mode is on or when the public leaderboard is turned off.

Onboarding emails

When onboarding emails are on, new members receive a short series of emails through the campaign:

• Set your goal, shortly after they join if they have not set one.
• Share your page, once they are set up.
• Mid-campaign nudge, at the halfway point if they have raised less than a quarter of their goal.
• Closing soon, in the final week before the fundraiser ends.

When to use P2P / Teams Mode

Good fit:

• Schools running class-vs-class competitions
• Sports clubs where each player raises money on their own
• Community groups with volunteers each reaching their own network
• Any campaign where personal connections drive more sales than a single shared page

May not be needed:

• Small campaigns with a single organiser and a fixed supporter list
• Campaigns where you do not want individual attribution or leaderboards
