This Reservation Deposit on Prelaunch.com is a binding agreement between you and each reservee – if you launch your product, they will be able to purchase it for the discounted price you offered them.
In exchange for reserving the right to buy your product at a discount, Prelaunch users leave a small deposit (1-5% of your product’s price). This is a real online transaction that users will transfer by card to Prelaunch.com.
Upon successful delivery and completion of the below conditions, you will receive each Reservation Deposit minus the processing fees.
How can I receive the reservation deposits?
Your reservation deposits are kept in an escrow account under the management of Prelaunch.com. This ensures the smooth management of refunds via the Prelaunch.com platform.
Once you start shipping, you can apply to receive each Reservation Deposit.
In order to increase the odds of your application getting accepted, provide proof of meeting the following conditions:
You launched your product.
You notified the reserve of their last chance to refund, 24 hours before launching your product.
You provided the reserve with a personalized link or another easy method to claim their discounted price.
You made this discounted price available to them for a minimum of 30 days after launch.
You delivered your product to at least 50% of the reserves that were purchased.
You delivered it to them within 2 years of them reserving.
