Frequently Asked Questions
Which crowdfunding platforms work with this automation?
The system processes PDF statements and reports from any platform including Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe, and Fundrazr. It extracts standard payment fields regardless of the platform's document format.
Can it handle expense receipts mixed with backer payment data?
Yes, you can batch process both platform payment statements and expense receipts together. The AI identifies different document types and extracts relevant fields for each, creating separate data rows as needed.
How does it handle platform fee calculations?
The system extracts gross amounts, platform fees, processing fees, and net amounts as separate fields. This lets you analyze the true cost of each platform and calculate accurate profit margins for your campaign.
