Even though this is an online crowdfunding campaign, you might receive cash, cheques or direct payments offline. You can add these to your campaign using Guest Checkout - just make sure you have the money in your bank account first.
Step-by-step process
Deposit the funds:
Put the money in your bank account
Get ready to donate it via the platform
Use debit card, Direct Debit, or bank transfer
Use Guest Checkout:
Log out of your Spacehive account
Go to your project page
Click 'Back this project!'
Use the backer's preferred display name
Use an email not linked to any Spacehive account
Important things to know
Don't donate while logged into your account - your name will show as the backer
You can combine multiple offline donations into one donation using names like "Offline donations to [Project name]" or "Funds raised at the cake sale"
Post an update explaining where offline funds came from
Keep records of offline donations in case you need to return them
Being transparent
When you receive offline funds:
Post an update explaining where they came from
Share the story behind fundraising events
Tell backers how many people contributed
Keep your crowd updated on progress
Remember: You're responsible for any funds received outside Spacehive. If your campaign is unsuccessful, you'll need to handle returning these donations yourself.
