After Your Experience Starts

If your Experience is already live, but you want to pause and restart it at a later date, contact our customer success team so they can freeze your fundraiser. Freezing an Experience ensures no further transactions will occur. Contact us again when you want to resume the fundraiser, and we can unfreeze it.
