On 54 a raffle site sells numbered tickets, takes card payments through Stripe, closes and draws on the server with a random seed that is kept, and returns every ticket as credit if the campaign does not reach its goal.
A raffle looks simple until money moves. Who gets which number, what happens when two people buy the last ticket at the same moment, how the winner is picked so nobody can say it was rigged, and what happens to the money if not enough tickets sell. On 54 none of that lives in the page: the platform does it on the server, and the site only shows it.
| A raffle built in the page | 54 | |
|---|---|---|
| Ticket numbers | Counted in the browser, easy to duplicate | Assigned by the server, one number per ticket |
| Payment | A link that marks a ticket sold before anyone paid | The ticket exists only after Stripe confirms the payment |
| The draw | Done by someone, by hand | Done on the server with a random seed that is stored |
| Goal not reached | Someone has to refund by hand | Every ticket goes back as credit on the site |
| Several campaigns | One page per campaign, edited by hand | Up to three open at once, the next opening by itself |

The server, when the campaign closes, using a cryptographic random number. The seed is stored with the result.

If you turn it on in the payments tab and your Stripe account has crypto enabled, the checkout also accepts USDC. If it is not enabled, the checkout falls back to cards.
No. They can pay with just their name; the account is created from the email they enter at checkout.
That depends on your country. Many places require a permit for paid raffles. Check your local rules before you start; 54 runs the mechanics, not the license.
Yes, a campaign can be an auction instead of a raffle, with paid bids and a closing clock.
