About proxy orders
Proxy orders are gift card orders that a coordinator places on behalf of a participant. Participants request their gift cards orders to coordinators via an order form or another preferred method. Then, the coordinator inputs the participant order(s) and submits for processing and fulfillment.
How earnings on proxy orders work
Earnings for proxy orders are applied up front on the order total, meaning gift cards are purchased at a discount (total gift card order value – total earnings). The participant is responsible for paying the coordinator for the full order amount, and the organization keeps the difference as earnings. The coordinator is responsible for distributing the gift cards to the participant.
