I’m interested in making it automated. It’s a real pain to get the proper permissioning to hold funds in escrow so my initial pass would be to just have the campaign starter fully donate their amount at the start (since most people who make matching campaigns will ultimately donate the same max amount of money) and then have an ‘unlock’ that occurs as other people donate (with integration to every.org to verify the charity etc).
However the authorization holds is an interesting idea. Good if you want to actually have it just match what other people donate! A consideration though is that authorization holds only last 7 days according to Stripe limiting the campaign time.
Interesting! Thank you so much for replying!
