What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for enabling them to manage crowdfunding campaigns directly on their sites, saving on third-party fees, driving traffic, and boosting sales through pre-orders. It's user-friendly, requiring no coding skills, and features like automatic hiding of the "add to cart" button post-campaign. Described as reliable and easy to install, the app also boasts responsive customer support that effectively resolves issues.

This worked perfectly and allowed me to run a crowdfunding campaign on my website without using a third party service like Kickstarter. I saved a lot of money by paying the monthly Crowdfundr fee rather than paying a % of Kickstarter fees.

Thank you, Abby! We’re thrilled to hear that Crowdfunder helped you run a successful crowdfunding campaign right on your own website. Keeping more of your hard-earned revenue and maintaining full control over your campaign is exactly why we built this tool. If you ever need support or have suggestions, we’re here to help. Wishing you continued success with your art! -k.

This app would be much more helpful if:

Bundles were integrated into the program, allowing users to offer pre-sale packages similar to Kickstarter. Currently, if you use Downpay (the suggested payment app for smaller pre-sale down payments), you can't use a bundle app—which is necessary because Crowdfunder doesn’t support bundling natively.

There were better visual representations of campaign progress. The app currently shows a due date and basic text indicating how far along you are toward your goal, but it could be much better. Aesthetically pleasing progress bars or visual indicators would greatly improve the experience.

We ultimately had to delete the app and build this functionality ourselves.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback and for giving Crowdfunder a shot.

You’re absolutely right, the current widget is functional but not inspiring, so we’re rolling out a fresh design with multiple style presets (dark mode, retro, party mode, and more) to better fit your brand vibe and make campaign progress feel more tangible.

Appreciate you taking the time to share this. Even when users move on, feedback like yours helps us build a better product for the next launch.

Used to use it all the time, used to be an amazing app. Now it doesn't work at all, can't even get it to load let alone function. Really disappointed.

We’re sorry. That’s not the level of performance we aim for. We’ll be reaching out to you directly to troubleshoot and get Crowdfunder running smoothly again. -k.

This app automatically hid the add to cart button when my campaign met its goal, even though I never turned on that option on my campaign.

This should never be an automatic setting as this potentially costed me sales in the period of time where the add to cart button was down.

Based on your feedback, we’ve updated the app’s main Settings form to improve control over the “Hide ATC button” options. Now, there are no default values for those fields, and they’re required. This ensures they’re only applied when you specifically choose them. For each campaign, these fields remain optional, so you won’t have to set them every time; the settings will just fall back to whatever you set globally.

Thank you for helping us make Crowdfunder better! Your input directly shaped this update, and we hope it creates a more seamless experience for you and all our users.
