Digital Cookie 1.0
• Also called DOC (Digital Order Card), this is
an OPTIONAL online sales program each
girl can choose to participate in or NOT
participate in on her own. It is not a troop
activity.
• At the start of the sale each girl should
receive an email from “Girl Scout Cookies”
inviting her to set up a website through
eBudde. She can then send out emails asking
people to order cookies online.
• *Girls under age 13 need to have an adult
work with them.
What are the advantages?
• Customers who live too far away for you to visit
can order cookies from you and have them
shipped directly to them. They will receive their
orders in a few days rather than at the end of the
sale. (Including AK and HI, NOT PR.)
• Orders received will be fed automatically into
eBudde – no reports to print out and hand in.
• Cookies sold this way will not have to be picked
up and delivered – less work for you!
• Profit will remain the same and count toward your
goal. There is a patch for 6 or more boxes.
• Toffee-tastics will be available for purchase online
while supplies last.
What else should I know?
• Customers who order online will be required to
pay by credit card.
• There will be a shipping fee for all purchases.
There will not be a credit card fee.
• Customers may order donations for Gift of Caring.
There will be no shipping fee but there will be a
fee for processing the credit card.
• There will be an additional charge for shipments
to APO addresses.
• These orders will NOT count toward the troop’s
additional profit for exceeding last year’s sales.

Gift of Caring
vs
Operation Cookie Drop
OR…
Can I use Operation Cookie Drop to round
up my cases?
Answer: NO!!!!
Only Gift of Caring can be
used to round up cases.
WHY?????
Because orders placed in Operation Cookie Drop will be
VIRTUAL ORDERS You will NOT receive them BUT you will have to pay for
them.
Orders placed in Gift of Caring will be delivered with your
order.
eBudde will AUTOMATICALLY round up your cases. Use
this for Gift of caring orders.
If you do not have GOC orders eBudde will round up cases
and you will receive extra cookies.
If your cases are full and you still have Gift of Caring orders
place them in Operation Cookie Drop if you prefer not to
have extra cookies.
OR
order anything less than a case from the Cookie Cupboard!
Use GOC to round up cases!!!!!
After you see all your cases are full you could move
any extra GOC boxes to Op Drop. Or, you could
order them from the Cookie Cupboard
How Does the Troop Pay for
Cookies?
• Cookie proceeds owed to the Council will be
withdrawn automatically from the troop bank
account by ACH.
• Any funds owed to the troop will be deposited by
ACH to the troop’s bank account.
• It is important that all troops have on file an ACH
authorization form. If you gave one last year and
nothing has changed you do not need to update it.
• Be sure all troop leaders, treasurers, etc. are aware
of these dates and funds are deposited timely.
• Use eBudde to keep track of girls’ payments to you
and your deposits.
Go to the “Girl Orders” Tab to keep
track of payments you collected
Go to “Deposits” tab to record your
deposits
What if there isn’t enough money
in the account?
• Do NOT lose the Troop Guide booklet. In it
are the dates and contacts for any problems
you may have meeting the payment dates.
• There are extensions available for the first
two sweeps.
• There are NO extensions for the final sweep.
• Follow all dates and procedures for filing an
extension. Be sure you are using the correct
email address when contacting finance.
