Refunds

How do I request a refund for a donation?

Go to "My Donations" in your account, find the donation you want to refund, and click "Request Refund". You'll need to provide a reason for the request. Refund requests are reviewed within 3-5 business days.

What is the refund eligibility period?

Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the original donation. After 30 days, refunds may not be available as funds may have already been distributed to the campaign.

How long does it take to receive my refund?

Once approved, refunds typically take 5-10 business days to appear on your original payment method. The exact timing depends on your bank or card issuer.

Can I get a refund for a marketplace purchase?

Marketplace purchases follow the seller's return policy. Contact the seller first through our messaging system. If you can't resolve the issue, contact our support team for assistance.

Delivery Issues

How do I track my marketplace order?

Go to "My Purchases" in your account to see the status of all your orders. Once shipped, tracking information will be available if provided by the seller.

My item hasn't arrived. What should I do?

First, check the estimated delivery date in your order details. If it's past the expected delivery date, contact the seller through our messaging system. If you can't reach them or resolve the issue, contact our support team.

I received the wrong item or a damaged item

Take photos of the item and packaging, then contact the seller immediately through our messaging system. If the seller is unresponsive or unwilling to help, reach out to our support team with your order details and photos.

Can I change my shipping address after purchase?

Contact the seller as soon as possible through our messaging system. Address changes can only be made before the item ships. Once shipped, the address cannot be changed.

Payouts

When will I receive my campaign funds?

Campaign funds are processed weekly. Once your campaign receives donations, you can request a payout through your campaign dashboard. Payouts are typically processed within 3-5 business days.

What are the payout methods available?

We support payouts via Stripe Connect. You'll need to set up your payout account in your profile settings. Supported methods include direct bank transfer and debit card payouts (where available).

Is there a minimum payout threshold?

Yes, the minimum payout amount is $10. This helps reduce transaction fees and ensures efficient fund distribution.

Why is my payout on hold?

Payouts may be held for verification purposes, if there are pending refund requests, or if additional documentation is needed. Check your email for any requests from our team, or contact support for more details.
