Families can go cash-free and worry-free with eWallet, the digital payment option that makes hosting easier and empowers students to shop independently.
Book Fair eWallet
How does eWallet work?
The eWallet experience has been upgraded! Once a child’s eWallet is created, it carries over each year and stays in their Scholastic account, so they can use the same eWallet at future Fairs.
Families start from your school’s Book Fair homepage—available three weeks before your Fair begins—to set up an eWallet for each child. If their child already has an eWallet from a previous Fair, they can simply sign in to their Scholastic account to view their balance and manage funds.
Funds are available immediately. Families can add funds, create an eWallet for another child, invite friends and family to contribute, and more—all from their account.

Using eWallets at the Fair
All eWallets are pre-loaded on the register, making checkout quick and easy. Follow these best practices to keep the lines moving:
o
Connect all registers to the Internet—this will ensure eWallet balances stay up-to-date throughout the Fair.
o
Use the SEARCH feature to find an eWallet by student name, grade, or teacher.
o
If your register loses connectivity, print your school’s Scan Sheet, which includes a unique barcode for each eWallet, keeping all balances updated.
Since funds can be added anytime, check eWallet activity in the Host Hub daily. Near the end of the Fair, encourage teachers to remind students with unspent funds to shop.
Smarter, simpler eWallet management for families
Simpler eWallet management for families
After the Fair ends and all registers are closed out, any unspent eWallet funds stay in the family’s Scholastic account, so their child can use the same eWallet at future Fairs to:
Transfer an eWallet balance between children
Shop online with Scholastic, including Book Clubs
Contribute any portion to Share the Fair™
Account holders will also receive an email reminder with their remaining balance after the Fair.
