Starting a campaign is easy! Simply click on the "Start a Campaign" button, create an account if you don't already have one, and follow the guided steps to set up your campaign. You'll need to provide details about your cause, funding goal, timeline, and add compelling images or videos.
RippleWave charges a platform fee of 5% on funds raised, plus payment processing fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). These fees help us maintain and improve the platform while providing support to campaign creators.
For successful campaigns, funds are typically disbursed within 7-14 business days after your campaign ends. You'll need to have a valid bank account set up to receive the funds.
RippleWave offers flexible funding options. You can choose to receive all funds raised even if you don't meet your goal (flexible funding), or you can opt for all-or-nothing funding where you only receive funds if you meet or exceed your goal.
Successful campaigns are actively promoted! Share your campaign on social media, email your network, create engaging updates, and consider reaching out to local media. Our platform provides built-in sharing tools and analytics to help you track and optimize your promotion efforts.
