Yes. You can add your own products to a Raised product fundraiser, including products from a supplier you already know. Agree supply terms directly, enter the products and selling prices, then collect orders online. Your group remains responsible for paying the supplier and arranging delivery or collection.

## What needs agreeing with the supplier?

Ask for the wholesale price, available options, minimum quantities and order deadline. Confirm who will accept the bulk order, when it must be paid and whether freight is included.

For food, obtain the supplier's current product and allergen information. Do not infer ingredients from a similar item or promise a dietary option the supplier has not confirmed.



## How do you build the online catalogue?

Use names families can distinguish at a glance, such as the flavour and pack size. Check the prices against your budget before opening orders.

1. Create a product campaign and add your own products.
2. Enter options, descriptions and selling prices.
3. Set the campaign deadline early enough to submit the supplier order.
4. Add collection or delivery instructions.
5. Review the supporter page and place a controlled test order if appropriate.

## What does a real own-supplier campaign look like?

Hokitika Gymnastics Club used its own Marlow Pies catalogue on Raised in May 2026. Its published case study records NZ$16,098 in orders from 217 orders, not net profit.

That example shows the ordering approach, not a promised result. Your retained amount depends on your supplier bill, fees and other costs. Keep invoices and reconcile the final figures.
