All projects go through a review process before going live. In most cases, projects are reviewed within 1–2 business days and you'll receive feedback at your account email. To speed things up, make sure your screener is detailed, your incentive is appropriate, and your target number of recruits matches your actual need.
Yes. A verified, valid credit card is required to post a project. Your card will be verified but not charged at the time it's added. You can also pre-purchase credits and front-load incentives ahead of time.
Yes. Click "Save for Later" at any point during project setup and your project will remain as a draft until you're ready to publish. Once you hit Publish, your project goes live immediately (after review).

Yes. All screener activity must happen in-platform. Participants cannot be redirected off Respondent to complete screener questions or fill out external forms.
