Please be reminded that you cannot move forward with your product/service until you receive approval confirmation from JA.
Shopify

JA Canada is pleased to partner with Shopify's Open Learning Program this year to offer students across Canada the opportunity to use a Shopify account for Company Program if they choose. More information can be found on the JA Campus.

The account that students will have access to will cost $30/per month which will be covered by JA Canada for this fiscal year. Any costs outside of this basic platform will be the responsibility of each individual Company Program team (e.g. custom store themes, apps outside of the free ones provided, etc.)

Any account created under the Open Learning Program will be set up and overseen by the charter (i.e. JA Central Ontario). Once it is set up, up to 15 advisors/students can be added as staff to manage.

A few things to note:
  • This provides the e-commerce platform only - students are still required to source out their own products/services to drop ship. Shopify recommends the "Print On Demand" option for teams who are considering the drop shipping method. Please note that a credit card may be needed for drop shipping. If this is a concern for students who do not have access to a credit card they are comfortable using, please let us know. 
  • Shipping will be set to within Canada only - no international shipping will be allowed.
  • Taxes will be turned off and students will not need to charge tax on their items.
  • Digital products can be sold through Shopify (i.e. products that require digital downloads). 

If your team is considering using Shopify, please make a note on your Product Approval Form.
Accessing the JA Campus for program resources

To access the JA Company Program resources, please follow these steps:
  1. Create an account on JAcampus.org (by clicking on the sign up button at the top of the page). This account is different than your login used at registration.
  2. Scroll down on this page and click on the Go To Program button under Student Company Program Materials
  3. Click on Student Company Program Materials (click on Enrol Me)
  4. Then you will have access to the resources available
  5. We suggest bookmarking this page, as you will be using it frequently!

PLEASE NOTE:
  • The login is NOT the same as registration. You must create a new account.
  • You must select the Company Program materials listed as "STUDENT COMPANY PROGRAM MATERIALS" - if it doesn't say student, it's the wrong one
  • Your instructions are not the same as the instructions for advisors to access their resources.

Are you seeing the correct resources?
I want to ensure that you are all viewing the "JA CENTRAL ONTARIO" resources. Once you're in the "STUDENT COMPANY PROGRAM MATERIALS" please ensure that at the top you can see the "JACO CP Student Files" folder and the links to the JACO Calendar, JACO Communications and JACO External Opportunities. These should all appear at the top.

*If you are still not seeing the JACO CP Student Files, please try the following:
1.     Go to your name at the top right corner and click on “profile”
2.     Click on “edit profile”
3.     Scroll down to “other fields”
4.     Make sure your charter is set to “JA Central Ontario” and then save
5.     Return to the company program materials

If you have any issues, please email companyprogram@jacentralontario.org
