Cookie Question of the Week

Q: How do I process payments for the troop's cookies?

A: Follow these simple steps to process cookie payments:
  • Collect payments from parents/guardians frequently.
  • Provide the parent/guardian with a signed receipt.
  • Enter girl payments into eBudde.
  • Deposit payments into the troop and Council banks as often as possible. The safest place for the money is in the bank!
  • Complete all fields on the deposit slip (date, troop, name, phone number, total).
  • List the last name of the person on the deposit slip, not the check number.
  • If you have multiple checks with the same last name include the first letter of their first name.
  • One deposit slip equals one deposit.
    • Each deposit should be individually entered into eBudde. Do not total multiple deposits made on the same day in eBudde.
    • A validation stamp is required on all deposit slips. You should receive two validated deposit receipts for each deposit. One deposit slip will be turned in with final paperwork, the other is for your records.
    • Council will receive “bank corrections” direct from our Council banks. The troop leader and troop cookie coordinator will be notified immediately by the product sales team of the correction. 
  • Enter deposits made to a Council bank into eBudde.
