Crowdfund From Your Own Website
Have A Successful Website? You Don’t Need Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Etc.
With over $3 billion pledged to crowdfunded projects, there's no doubt that crowdfunding has exploded and changed the nature of pre-orders for entrepreneurs and consumers. But you don’t need to use a service like Kickstarter if you’re already running your own popular website.
In fact, you may be better off crowdfunding on your website.
Why pay fees to Kickstarter if you already have your own following? By running crowdfunded pre-order campaigns on your website, you control the entire process from beginning to end. You'll save time, fees, and gain flexibility.
Enter Crowdfunder App
In 2016, we were approached by Brooklyn design studio FCTRY to build a crowdfunding page for their Shopify site. We did it, showed it to some folks, and immediately began getting inquiries to do it again for other stores. Meanwhile, the original campaign for FCTRY did over six figures in sales. Crowdfunded pre-orders make money. We built Crowdfunder App so that everyone can have access to the same marketing strategy used by some of the most successful Shopify stores.
Having a custom crowd-funding platform, hosted on your Shopify site, puts you in the driver's seat of your pre-order campaigns.
Recent Updates
Crowdfunder is continually improved based on your feedback.
Our most recent update dramatically improves load times while making every text field editable and adding advanced customization options for theme developers.

Amazing app, amazing developers, and part of what makes Shopify so great. Went above and beyond for us, and we plan to use them for all our new product launches. Best crowdfunding app on Shopify!
Kurt is the best when it comes customer service!
Also amazing apps for crowdfunding.
Useful app. Simple, clean interface and relatively easy to embed wherever you like, even with zero experience of HTML.
We've been using this for a few weeks now and it's working magically! The newest update has allowed us to customize it to our specific and unique needs and it's added a touch of fun to our preorders. Easy to install, use, and change up as we move along. Also comes with amazing customer service which is a MAJOR plus! Highly recommend if you're looking for something within this realm! A++++
Great app. Does what it says it'll do and the customer service is impeccable if you have questions
These guys are pros
The app works fantastically! We successfully crowdfunded two products that customers had been requesting for years. It helped us cover our production costs and launch the products. The app is simple, but works great. Their customer service is also very responsive and I feel confident using this on my site.
Great and timely support. Amazing app that really extends functionality on the Shopify platform. Thank you Kurt for such a great app that allows us to fund future products.
The man knows Shopify....What more can you say! I like nothing more than a simple solution to a problem or lack of functionality and this App is that. Fast to install, does exactly what it is meant to with Kurt's exceptional customer service and follow up A+. I have been using this on my new site www.deltaechoapparel.com and it hasn't missed a beat.
Crowdfunder is a great app that allowed us to raise money right on our site. It was easy to use, did what it was supposed to do, and did it well! Support was helpful and responsive. Well done!
This app works great for any non-profit organization wanting to run a fundraising campaign online! Kurt was extremely helpful, quick to respond, and very professional. The app is easy to install and very simple to use once it is setup.
This is among the best experiences that we have had with Shopify app developers. Well worth the monthly investment.
