The homepage covers every feature category at a glance. This page is the proof - the actual mechanics behind each one, verified against the running code, not a bullet list of adjectives.
Destination charges - the platform fee is retained automatically and the creator's share transfers to their connected account. No admin ever touches a "pay creator" button.
All-or-Nothing (authorize now, capture only if the goal is hit) or Flexible (charge immediately, keep whatever is raised) - chosen per campaign by the creator.
CampaignResolutionService::releaseOrRefundPledge - when an all-or-nothing campaign misses its goal, every pledge releases or refunds automatically, with an email and in-app notification. One failed refund never blocks the rest.
Limited-quantity rewards use a single conditional UPDATE ... WHERE claimed < quantity so two backers claiming the last unit in the same millisecond can never both succeed.
Buyer-configurable currency list; each campaign is priced in its creator's chosen currency.

Stripe's components render inside your pages - backers never leave your domain to pay. And any creator can put a live, working pledge card on someone else's site with a single iframe line, powered by a CSRF-exempt endpoint built specifically for cross-site embedding.
AI Draft, Quality Screening, and Recommended for You. All three degrade gracefully with no key configured. Full detail on the AI Features page →

Private conversations between any backer and creator - start/find a conversation, threaded messages, per-conversation read tracking, and an instant in-app notification the moment a message lands. Rate-limited at 20/min, same discipline as every other write endpoint on the platform.
Receipt, reward summary, share prompt, follow-creator button - not a redirect.
Backers get notified the moment a followed creator launches something new.
Progress updates email every backer on the campaign automatically.
Save campaigns for later and discuss them in threaded comments.
Sitemap, structured data, Open Graph, redirect handling. Full detail on the SEO page →
Every number comes from real rows - views logged per campaign, pledges as they're funded. A brand-new campaign legitimately shows zeros.
Logo, favicon, site title, and a full 6-color theme - admin-editable via CSS custom properties, no rebuild.
Approve or reject campaigns with a note; categories and fee percentage set from admin.
Terms, Privacy, Refund Policy and FAQ ship with real seed content, not blank placeholders.
Leaflet-powered explore map and a campaign-wizard location step with a fine-tunable pin.
Full source code means you can edit anything yourself - but if you'd rather hand it off, our team does custom theming, new features, and integrations on top of the base script.
