Major payment processors welcome

If you're operating an competition ecommerce platform, you will no doubt be making use of a payment processor or gateway. Many platforms make use of providers who are less well known to high street accounts, making integration and withdrawals particularly difficult. Our knowledge of payment gateways, not only in the giveaway market but across the global gaming market, giving you piece of mind while operating with such providers.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
