Set minimum pledge per issue

[birkjernstrom]

Feedback from @LayZeeDK

Today, Polar offers a global minimum per organization and subsequent repositories. Combined with having $20 being the default.

Lars suggested adding the ability to set a minimum per issue as well.

Any chance to bump this?

I sadly discovered today that the minimum amount for pledging an issue is 50$, and it's not possible to change it.

Is there a reason?

Hey @ematipico. You can change the minimum globally for an organization (default is $20) by going to "Issues" > "Badge" in the dashboard:

See: https://docs.polar.sh/issue-funding/getting-started

Some have it as low as $1. However, note that Stripe fees and especially the fixed 30 cents make that a bit brutal in terms of % lost to fees.

This feature request was more focused on allowing to set different settings per individual issue and potentially differentiate the minimum amount depending on whether the backer is an individual or organization.
