What types of organizations participate in scrip?
Just about any non-profit group including churches, schools, cub scouts and girl scouts, sports and music booster groups, child care centers and more.
Why do I have to be a non-profit organization to be a Script customer?
In order for the scrip concept to work, a participating retailer agrees to give a discount to Script. This discount is passed along to the non-profit, and when the certificate is sold by the non-profit for full face value, this discount becomes revenue for the organization. Since the retailer is giving up potential revenue, many of them want to be sure that a non-profit organization is benefiting - not another company. That's why Scripts requires all customers to verify their non-profit status.
Where do the scrip certificates come from?
Scripts purchases the certificates directly from the retailers. The certificates we provide to our customers are the same gift certificates you would buy if you went to the participating retailer and purchased them yourself
Can I use the scrip certificates anywhere?

Is there a minimum amount of certificates that I have to order?
Script has no minimum order amount. However, there is a modest shipping charge which applies to each order, so it may be impractical for you to order just one or two certificates.
Do I have to order every week? How often can I order?
There are no requirements for ordering. You can order as frequently or infrequently as you wish. Most Script customers schedule their scrip orders once a week.
Does Script ever run out of certificates? What happens then?
Occasionally, Scriptsr may temporarily run out of a particular certificate. When that happens, we will place the item on backorder and ship it with your next order. If you do not place your next order within 10 business days, Scripts will ship your backorder at that time. Unusually large or urgent backorders may be shipped earlier at our discretion.
Does it cost a family anything to participate? Do they have to sell anything?
There are no membership fees or application fees. Your organization families simply pay your organization face value for the certificates they order. The beauty of the scrip concept lies in the fact that your organization members raise money for your organization by using their existing household shopping budget. Some families may enlist relatives, friends and neighbors to buy scrip. But unlike other fundraising programs, scrip families do not have to "sell" anything to raise money for their organization.
Can I use scrip to pay department store charge account balances?
A few retailers allow you to pay charge account balances with scrip, but generally speaking, most do not. Script customers can search our online participating retailers list for specific information on which retailers do and do not accept scrip for charge account balances.
Can I pay by check?

Oops! I forgot a to order a few things. Can I add on to my order?
That's a question we hear often at Scripts. Unfortunately, once your order is in process, it's very difficult to locate and modify. What's more, taking the order out of the normal processing flow greatly increases the chances for a billing or handling error. In order to process every order as quickly and accurately as possible, we cannot always "add on" to your order. If you need to get additional certificates after you've placed your order, we will be happy to take an additional order which will be processed and billed separately..
