Taking Orders

Using the Order Card
Girls or their caregivers write orders on the order card, double-checking sale details and contact information, especially the phone number. Share with the customer that you will call or text to arrange delivery.
If you use the Digital Cookie app to collect payment at time of order, be sure to note on your order card that payment has been collected through the app. You may want to share an approximate delivery date, so they know when to expect your call or text.
Selling Online
With the help of a trusted adult, girls can send emails to friends and family through Digital Cookie. With this link, they'll be able to choose girl delivery or direct shipping for their cookie order.
Girls may also use social media to market their sale. However, we ask that girls, troops, volunteers, and caregivers review our social media guidelines first.

Donating Cookies
Customers can purchase Gift of Caring packages through Digital Cookie, an individual Girl Scout, or at a Cookie Booth.
Through the Council Gift of Caring, the cookie packages will be ordered and delivered to the Utah Food Bank by Girl Scouts of Utah. TPMs do not need to purchase these cookie packages in their initial orders or from the cookie cupboards.
Troops can reach out to an organization in their community to collect orders for and deliver those donated cookies to through the Troop Gift of Caring program. The troop will decide who to partner with, collect the donations, and personally deliver the donated packages of cookies.
Gift of Caring patches can be purchased through our retail shops.
Delivering Cookies
Prior to beginning any deliveries, we suggest you separate orders by customer name into bags and mark each bag with the contents, customer name, and amount to be collected. Call or text the customer to arrange a time to deliver their cookies and discuss payment options.
Upon arrival at the customers location, call or text to alert them that you are there. Then, collect payment—more details are available below.
Thank the customer for their order. We suggest leaving your contact information to let them know how they can purchase additional Girl Scout Cookies.
Collecting Payments
Cash, check, and credit cards may be used to pay for cookies. Acceptance of checks is at the discretion of the Troop Leader. Credit card payments can be accepted through the Digital Cookie app. Please check your training materials for detailed instructions.
GSU is covering all credit card fees incurred through the Digital Cookie app this year. Other cash apps, such as Zelle or Square, can be used to collect payment. However, if using cash apps other than Digital Cookie, the user will be responsible to cover any fees incurred.
Note: Venmo is not an accepted form of payment.
