About the demo
Do I need an account to try the PagePledge demo?
No. Pick a view (campaign organizer, teacher, or parent) and you're signed straight in to the demo school. There's no email, password, or sign-up form.
Is Maple Grove Elementary a real school?
No. It's a made-up school with made-up students, families, and donors, set up to look like a real read-a-thon halfway through.
Can I change things in the demo?
You can open every page and try every form, but nothing you change is saved. The demo school is rebuilt every night, so it's always mid-campaign.
Will the demo donation form charge my card?
No. The demo school's donation form uses a pretend card and goes straight to a sample receipt. No payment is taken and no email is sent.
How do I run a real read-a-thon for my school?
Sign up your school. Once you're approved, the setup guide walks you through campaign dates, classrooms, payments through Square or Stripe, and take-home sheets.
Ready to run your own read-a-thon?
The setup guide walks you through campaign dates, classrooms, payments, and take-home sheets. A flat campaign fee, with no PagePledge transaction fees.
