Funds are credited automatically to the campaign's wallet.
Whether someone contributes directly or a marketplace sale splits to your campaign, funds arrive without manual intervention. You don't need to chase payments or process transfers.
Direct Contributions
When someone contributes directly to your campaign:
- Payment processes through our payment provider
- Funds are credited to your campaign wallet
- Transaction is recorded on the contributor's GivingProfile
- Campaign progress updates automatically
Marketplace Sales
When someone lists and sells an item supporting your campaign:
- Buyer completes checkout
- Payment splits according to seller's preset percentage
- Campaign portion is credited to your wallet
- Seller portion is credited to theirs
- Both transactions appear on GivingProfiles
Withdrawals
When you want to move your balance, request a withdrawal from your wallet:
- Enter your PayPal email — that's where we send the money
- Team review — every withdrawal is reviewed before it's sent
- Timing — usually within a few business days
- Transaction records — full history available
Timing
- Direct contributions: processed immediately
- Marketplace sales: processed after purchase completes
- Withdrawals: usually a few business days after you request them
Fees
OpenGiving charges a platform fee on transactions. Stripe charges standard payment processing fees. All fees are disclosed before you create a campaign.
