ClassCrate — Buy the class list together, not the box

Buy the class list together, not the box

ClassCrate turns your PTO's supply list into one bulk order. Families each order on their own time, and the whole school pays warehouse prices instead of prepackaged-kit markup, with a price alert on every item.

How ordering works

No new app for families to learn, and no inventory for your organizers to store in a garage.

01

Set your class list once

An organizer builds the supply list for the year, by grade or by teacher, the same way it's always been written.

02

Families order their own way

Each family chooses generic or name-brand versions of every item and pays for their own order directly.

03

The school buys at bulk rates

ClassCrate combines every family's order into one purchase, so the whole school gets warehouse pricing and one delivery, packed by kid.

Set a price alert, we watch it for you
