Frequently Asked Questions

How do we let our parents know about eWallet?

The eWallet form will be sent home with every child. The form has directions and information on how to upload funds for their child to shop. The form must be brought back and presented at checkout. If the child does misplace their form. No worries! The volunteers can look it up on the back end of our online cash register to verify.

How do parents/guardians upload funds to their child eWallet account?

Creating an eWallet is SUPER EASY & FAST!

Parents and guardians can visit https://app.nataliesholidayshop.com/login to create an account and upload funds for their child.

Have more than one child? No problem! Whether your children attend the same school or even different schools, you can manage all of their eWallets from one parent account.

eWallet Balance & Refund Policy

eWallet Remaining Balance & Refund Policy

Any eWallet balance remaining at the end of the shop will be donated back to the school at 100% of the remaining balance.

Our school volunteers work very hard to help students spend all of the funds available in their eWallet. However, occasionally a small balance—typically around $0.50 to $1.00—may remain after a student finishes shopping. Any remaining funds will be donated directly back to the school.

We ask families to encourage each child to spend their entire eWallet balance while shopping. This policy will also be communicated to each school before their Natalie’s Holiday Shop opens.

Our online cash register allows us to see which students still have an available eWallet balance. We ask school volunteers to help students use their remaining funds whenever possible before the shop closes.

Refunds

We understand that there may be circumstances when a refund is needed. Parents or guardians may request a refund if:

  • Their child was sick or absent and did not have the opportunity to shop, or
  • They are dissatisfied with an item purchased.

To request a refund only if your child was sick or absent for the entire week and did not have the opportunity to participate in the shop, please email support@nataliesholidayshop.com.

Please include the following information in your email:

  • Child’s full name
  • School name
  • Cardholder’s name
  • Reason for requesting the refund

Once we receive your request, our team will be happy to review it and assist you.

Please remember: Natalie’s Holiday Shop is a seasonal program that visits each school only once per year. Because of this, refunds are limited to the circumstances listed above.

Our goal is to make sure students have the opportunity to enjoy the full holiday shopping experience while also ensuring that any small unused balances go right back to supporting their school. ❤️

Does the parents get a receipt after they upload funds with eWallet?

Yes! They will get a receipt emailed to them immediately.

Do parents have their own eWallet portal?

Yes! When parents/guardians create an eWallet account, they will have access to their own parent portal. From there, they can add funds, manage their account, and make any necessary updates or edits.

Parents will also be able to see how much their child spent. However, we intentionally do not show the specific items purchased. Since the children are shopping for gifts for their family members, we want to help keep those purchases a special surprise for everyone to open during the holidays! 🎁

Is the eWallet free to the school?

The eWallet program is free to the school but there is a small   transaction fee to the parents/guardians. We charge a flat processing fee of $1.50 for $0-$25 transactions and 6% processing fee for $25 and up transactions.

Share the Joy Fund

What is the Share the Joy Fund?

The Share the Joy Fund allows families to make an optional donation when adding eWallet funds for their child. These donations are combined into a dedicated fund that helps provide shopping opportunities for students who may not otherwise be able to participate. 

How It Works

  1. Parents add funds to their child's eWallet.
  2. During checkout, parents can choose to contribute any amount to the Share the Joy Fund. (of course they do not have to-- this is only an option)
  3. All donations are collected in a separate fund designated specifically for the school.
  4. School administrators can view the current Share the Joy Fund balance at any time from their Register Dashboard.
  5. Schools can promote the Share the Joy Fund through social media, newsletters, and other communications to encourage community participation.

Supporting Students

Schools may use Share the Joy Fund donations to provide shopping funds for students who need financial assistance, helping ensure every child can enjoy the holiday shopping experience.

What Happens to Unused Funds?

Any funds remaining in the Share the Joy Fund after the event will be donated back to the school. These funds will never be retained by Natalie's Holiday Shop and will continue to benefit the school's students and program.

Together, we can share the joy and help make the holiday season special for every child. 🎁✨
