What are the limitations of DEV3 Pledgewell I should know before buying?

Good to know before you buy

• All-or-nothing pledges are charged immediately. Card holds (authorise now, capture at the deadline) are not supported in v1. Supporters are told at checkout that they are charged now and refunded in full if the goal is not met.
• You are the merchant of record. Every payment goes through the one gateway you configure; organisers cannot connect their own Stripe account in v1.
• Drivers are simulated until you configure them. Payments run on a simulated gateway (Stripe, Razorpay and PayPal checkout drivers are present). The stored-card recurring chargers for them are not finished: they throw recurring_not_configured, and a real identity provider and bank payout API are your integration work. Identity checks are a manual review by your team.
• Receipts are not tax claims. Pledgewell issues receipts; it does not file Gift Aid or similar claims, and VAT on per-gift platform fees is not applied in v1.
• Run the scheduler every minute. Campaigns settle by the scheduler or on the first read after the deadline window.
• Live updates use Reverb when you run it and fall back to polling.
• Web only. There are no mobile apps.
• No hosted demo. The organisations, campaigns and people in the screenshots are fictional.
• Name: Pledgewell is a working name checked by a web search only, not a trademark clearance.
