Q&A
Indiegogo is a crowdfunding platform where creators can raise funds for a variety of projects, including technology, creative works, and social causes. Campaigns can offer rewards or perks to backers who contribute. The platform allows creators to run either fixed or flexible funding campaigns, providing options to keep all funds raised or only if their goal is met.
Indiegogo charges a 5% platform fee on the funds raised, plus payment processing fees that typically range from 3% to 5%, depending on the country and currency. Additional fees may apply for certain services or if opting for InDemand after the initial campaign.
If your campaign is fixed funding and it doesn't reach its goal, all contributions will be refunded to the backers, and you won't receive any of the funds. If your campaign is flexible funding, you can keep any funds raised, regardless of whether you meet your goal.
