At Bucket Funds, we’re passionate about helping creators like you bring your ideas to life. We understand that fees are a consideration when launching a campaign, so we’ve designed a transparent system that keeps things simple and fair.

Here’s a breakdown of the fees involved:

1. Transaction Fee (7% + $0.50 per Pledge): Every time a backer contributes to your campaign, a small transaction fee is applied. This fee covers the cost of processing secure payments and ensuring a smooth experience for both you and your supporters. It’s calculated as 7% of the individual donation amount plus a fixed fee of $0.50. The remaining amount, after this deduction, goes directly toward your campaign goal.

2. Platform Payout Fee (15% of Funds Raised): Once your campaign successfully reaches its funding goal and the funds are ready for payout, a platform payout fee of 15% is applied. This fee helps us maintain the infrastructure, resources, and security features that make your crowdfunding journey possible.

3. Pay-per-Post Fee ($5 per Campaign): To get the word out about your campaign and connect with potential backers, you’ll be charged a one-time fee of $5. This fee is paid upfront when you launch your campaign and gives you access to various tools and features for creating engaging updates, sharing progress, and keeping your backers informed.

More importantly, the posting fee also helps us maintain a safe and secure platform for all users. By requiring a small investment upfront, we discourage bots from posting spam campaigns and flooding the website with fake accounts. This ensures a genuine and trustworthy environment for you to connect with real backers who are passionate about your project.

Remember, these fees are an investment in your success. We believe this structure creates a win-win situation, allowing you to focus on your project while we provide the platform and resources to turn your vision into a reality.
