How FlashFunds Works

FlashFunds makes it easy to launch and support small crowdfunding projects in just a few days — with secure payments handled by Stripe.

For Creators

Create a "all-or-nothing" campaign by setting a clear funding goal, adding a short description, and sharing images. Launch your campaign in just a few minutes.

Campaigns are designed to be short and focused, running for up to 7 days. If the goal is not reached, the campaign is closed and all pledges are cancelled

Pro Tip: In practice, campaigns close 1 hour before the 7-day mark to ensure all pledges are captured securely.

For Backers

Discover campaigns that matter to you and pledge support in just a few taps.

When you pledge, your payment method is authorized but not charged immediately.

If the goal is reached, Stripe captures the payment. If not, the authorization is automatically released and no money changes hands.

🔒 Secure payments

All payments are handled entirely by Stripe. FlashFunds never stores or processes card information.

This follows Stripe’s standard authorization and capture model, ensuring backers are only charged for successful projects.
