<h2>How it Works</h2>
<h3>Campaign types</h3>
There are two basic types of Crowdfunding campaigns.
Charge immediately campaigns
Campaign contributions are charged when the user contributes.
Charge on campaign completion campaigns
Users are not charged at the time of contribution. They are charged when the campaign goal is reached. If the campaign goal is not reached, they are not charged.
<h3>Fundraising campaigns</h3>
The workflow of fundraising campaigns is:
Once the campaign is set up and configured, the campaign will be ready for contributions. When customers land on the Campaign page they will see the following details.
<ul>
<li>Purpose of the campaign</li>
<li>Campaign goal</li>
<li>Min/max/recommended contribution</li>
<li>Campaign end date (if applicable)</li>
