Wigadoo asks you to tell us your minimum group size because you are asking your friends to pledge on the condition that you get enough people to make the event happen.
The deal is that your friends will pledge the amount you need but you can't collect their money unless you reach the minimum group size before the deadline that you set.
If you don't get enough people to sign up by the deadline, no money will be taken from your friends' cards and their pledge will be cancelled.
Using Wigadoo means that you get money lined up behind a plan and never need to pay upfront on behalf of the group. It also helps people to sign up earlier and groups grow faster.
Wigadoo asks you to tell us the amount you want to collect because you are asking your friends to pledge to pay.
Pledging means that your friends are promising to pay a certain amount and giving their debit or credit card details to back up that promise.
When your friends pledge, they are saying that they promise to pay as long as you get enough people to sign up by the deadline. If you do, you can then take the money that they've promised without having to go back to them. If you don't, no money will be taken from your friends’ cards and their pledge will be cancelled.
Wigadoo asks you to tell us your sign-up deadline because you are asking your friends to pledge, on the condition that you get enough people to make the event happen before a certain date.
If you don’t get enough people to sign up by the deadline, no money will be taken from your friends’ cards and their pledge will be cancelled.
