Billing Runs Automatically
When the season ends, billing runs based on final stats. We handle invoicing, reminders, payments, and reporting.
Operators never chase money.
Built for Accountability and Compliance
Every campaign includes a full audit trail. Payments are processed through Stripe for secure, compliant transactions. Operators and organizations can see exactly what was pledged, collected, and distributed.
