Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about creating and managing your campaign on Bantu Hive.
How much does it cost to launch a campaign?
Bantu Hive charges a 5% platform fee on the total amount raised for successful campaigns, plus payment processing fees of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. There are no upfront costs to launch your campaign.
What happens if I don't reach my funding goal?
It depends on your funding type. With flexible funding, you keep whatever funds you raise, minus our fees. With all-or-nothing funding, funds are only collected if you reach or exceed your goal.
How long can my campaign run?
Campaigns can run anywhere from 1 to 60 days, but our data shows that 30-40 day campaigns tend to be most successful.
When do I receive the funds raised?
For successful campaigns, funds are typically disbursed 14 business days after your campaign ends, allowing time for payment processing and any potential refunds.
Can I edit my campaign after launching?
Yes, you can edit most aspects of your campaign after it launches, including your description, images, and updates. However, your funding goal and type can be changed once your campaign is live.
