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.

Suggested Uses

  • Offer pre-orders as a way to gauge demand for products
  • Raise funds for a cause or charity
  • Launch limited special edition of your best-selling products

What's Crowdfunder *not* for?

Don't use Crowdfunder if you're...

I looked at all the other options in the app store and nothing else looked as clean and easy to use as Crowdfunder. After install, Kurt responded swiftly and helped get our campaign up and ready within a day, and that enabled us to hit our funding goal quickly over 200%! Next time I'm looking to crowdfund, I'll definitely install Crowdfunder. My only suggestion is being able to add clearer ways to display variants for better UX. Otherwise, this is great and simple to use!

Kurt and his team were so helpful in making a few minor edits in the liquid file for me! I have used this app in the past and it works seamlessly.

Just started my first campaign. Really like the upside of this. Pre-orders will help me bring this product to market. Will keep you posted. Update! This app is perfect for managing pre-orders and bringing new products to market without risking your own capital. Highly Recommended!
