It's a Collect link with a Goal

Crowdfunding is the same payment link you use for donations and sales — you just pick Any amount + the Goal link type, and a progress bar appears. No wizard, no approval; it's live the moment you publish.

1Set up the campaign

A cause, a target, a deadline.

Name the cause and add a cover that tells the story. Then set Any amount so supporters give what they can, pick the Goal link type, and enter your target.

GateOne crowdfunding — 001
The basics. Title & description (“Fund raising to help Rita…”), a cover photo, and the currency (GHS, frozen after create).
GateOne crowdfunding — 002
How much. Any amount (the giver chooses), link type Goal · progress toward a target, then Goal GHS 100,000 and a Closes at date. We let the payer cover the card fee.
GateOne crowdfunding — 003
Options. Allow anonymous contributions is on, and the wording stays default — the button reads “Contribute” and the wall “Recent contributions” (change these to “Donate” / “donation” if you like). Publish & go live.
2The public page

The progress bar tells the story.

Anyone who opens the link sees the cover, the cause, and a progress bar — how much is raised of the goal — then an open amount field and a one-tap give.

GateOne crowdfunding — 004
Raised of goal. “GHS 0.00 raised · 0 contributions” against “of GHS 100,000.00”, with an empty bar. Enter any amount, an email for the receipt, and optional name/message.
GateOne crowdfunding — 005
Give however you like. A Give anonymously option (hides name and amount), a non-refundable tick, and the Contribute button.
3Give (anonymously)

A real GHS 5,000 gift.

A supporter gives GHS 5,000, ticks Give anonymously, and pays — the card fee is added on top because we chose payer-pays.

GateOne crowdfunding — 006
Amount + anonymity. GHS 5,000, email for the receipt, Give anonymously ticked. The total: GHS 5,000 + GHS 99.44 card fee → Contribute GHS 5,099.44.
GateOne crowdfunding — 007
Pay. Checkout (Paystack) — Mobile Money / Card / Bank Transfer. Pay GHS 5,099.44. No account needed.
GateOne crowdfunding — 008
Thank you. “Your GHS 5,000.00 contribution is confirmed. A receipt is on its way to your email,” with a link back to the campaign.
4The bar moves

Momentum, in real time.

The public page updates instantly — the bar ticks up and the wall credits the giver (or keeps them anonymous). That visible momentum is what pulls the next gift in.

GateOne crowdfunding — 009
Raised so far. The bar now shows GHS 5,000.00 raised · 1 contribution of GHS 100,000 — live.
GateOne crowdfunding — 010
Recent contributions. Because the gift was anonymous, the wall shows “Anonymous” and “+ 1 anonymous contribution” — no name, no amount.
5Your ledger

You see the total; the giver stays private.

In the link's ledger you see the campaign total and each contribution — but an anonymous gift hides its name and amount even from you, exactly as promised on the public page.

GateOne crowdfunding — 011
Contributions. GHS 5,000 raised · 1 contribution · incl. 1 anonymous (GHS 5,000). The row reads Anonymous · amount — · your net — · Confirmed — the aggregate counts, the individual stays private. Share QR + Pause/Close sit above.
That's a campaign

Set a goal → share the link → the bar fills as gifts land, anonymous or named → your net settles to your payout account (flat 7%). Swap the goal for “any amount” and it's a donation page; add products and it's a shop. One link builder, every money job.

GateOne Crowdfunding — organizer walkthrough. Screens are real captures of a test campaign on staging; figures are illustrative. GateOne keeps a flat 7%; the card fee is absorbed by you or passed to the giver. Anonymous gifts hide the giver's name and amount publicly and in your ledger. Prepared July 2026.
