Digital Cookie Mobile App

Girl Scouts

About this app

The Girl Scout Digital Cookie App is the official GSUSA authorized free mobile app designed for Girl Scout cookie entrepreneurs to bring their cookie business on the go as they take customer orders and grow their digital marketing skills. The mobile app is free to use and is designed for Girl Scouts participating in Digital Cookie. You'll need a secure internet connection when using the app and data transfer charges might apply.

Girl Scouts can use the mobile app to sell cookies to customers at a cookie booth or accept payment for orders from their customers. It’s easy to ring up an order for a customer and allow that customer to pay by credit card, Venmo, or PayPal when you are handing the cookies to them.

Girl Scouts – Check your goal progress, place a new cookie order for a customer, and share your cookie site URL via your personalized QR code.

Parents – With quick access to order details, you can manage cookie orders no matter where you are. See the latest cookie sales and approve orders on-the-spot.

Volunteers – Use the app for convenient Cookie Booth sales payment processing and tracking, as well as viewing all orders for the troop.

The app is for Girl Scouts and Troops that are registered to use Digital Cookie and have set up their sites on the website. Don't have an account yet? No problem! If your council is participating in Digital Cookie, go to https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/ to get started.

Ratings and reviews

Glitchy at first, but once cookie season started, it was great. I did not have the issues everyone else has reported. The only change I would like to see made is when we scan credit cards, I wish it would bring in the name as well. If we could lose the required email field, that would also be helpful. I normally just put a made up one, but it still takes time. I do love that we have this option for free though.

It's an okay app. Could definitely use improvements: A way to see the site address, not just a QR code..not everyone can use those; A way to send the site to a mobile phone as a text message, not just an email.. Not everyone uses their email often enough to remember the login information; It'd be more efficient to have the customer (optionally) enter their payment information from their own device after the girl submits the order.. Like a text message or email, with a link to complete the order.

Awful. Info doesn't update, is not accurate, and is near impossible figure out how many boxes of cookies actually sold. I have to keep manual records because this app is so bad. Also, no push notifications. Are you serious? So we have to manually check for any pending deliveries. This is a nightmare for a brand new parent doing g cookies if it's this much of a nightmare for an experienced one. Do better.

What’s new

• We’ve improved the card scanning experience for a smoother and more accurate process.
• Users can now accept Venmo & PayPal as a payment options when processing “Give cookies to customer now” (cookies in-hand) orders via the mobile app! (This does not require any additional setup for users and all the financial reconciliation will be handled by Digital Cookie similarly to a credit card order.)
