Everything a school event needs. Nothing it doesn't.
CoreMobile was built for exactly this: fast, simple, volunteer-operated payments at any school event.
Tap on Glass
Customers tap their card, phone, or watch directly on your volunteer's phone screen. No extra devices. No pairing required. Just tap and go, even faster than cash.
Real-Time Reporting
Track every transaction as it happens. See totals by event, date, or volunteer, all in the CoreMobile dashboard. Easy reconciliation after every game day or fundraiser.
Volunteer Ready
Any volunteer with the app can accept payments immediately. Works on their personal iPhone or Android. No special phones to buy, no hardware to check out and return.
Surcharging Option
Optionally pass card processing fees to the payer so 100% of every dollar goes to your school or booster club. Compliant, transparent, and shown clearly at checkout.
One app. Every school payment scenario.
From Friday night football to the spring fundraiser, CoreMobile handles every payment situation your school faces throughout the year.
Built for the people actually running the stand
Our concession stand is staffed by a rotating group of volunteers each weekend. Many with no prior point of sale experience. CoreMobile made onboarding effortless, eliminating confusion from the start.
Even better, with Tap on Glass capabilities, we didn't need to invest in external card readers, which was a huge win for our small budget.
