Crowdfund From Your Own Website

Featured in the App Store

Have A Successful Website? You Don’t Need Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Etc.

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

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 crowdfunding 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...

  • Building a marketplace
  • Running Massdrop-style promotions

Frequently Asked Questions

"Does it support my currency?" Yes, we use your store's currency automatically.

"Can I have multiple campaigns?" Yes, run unlimited campaigns.

"Can I change my goal amount after starting?" Yes, you can change the goal amount at any time.

"Can I customize Crowdfunder?" Yes, Crowdfunder uses three Liquid snippets that can be modified with only basic knowledge of HTML and Liquid. If you do not feel confident with coding, we recommend hiring a service like HeyCarson.

"Can my goal be total orders instead of a dollar amount?" Yes, you can choose from either a financial or quantity goal for your campaign.

HONEY PLUS(ハニープラス)公式通販サイト

Location Japan

自サイト内で予約商品の先着販売をするために利用しました。英語の管理画面ですが、機能も管理画面もシンプルなのでそこまで難しくありません。 （なぜかアプリ内の下層ページから別の下層ページへ遷移しようとすると、ずーっとローディング状態になり、一旦アプリのロゴをクリックしてトップに戻る必要があります。その分、星を１個減らしました。） また、当アプリ単体では、予約販売商品と発売済み商品を一緒にカートに入れた時の制御ができません。なので予約販売アプリの「PreOrder Globo & Back in Stock」と組み合わせました。これでカートページでアラートを出すことができます。
ダメ押しで、サンクスページアプリの「39Editor」を利用し、予約販売商品を購入したら注意事項が出るように設定しました。 総評すると、資金を集めるクラウドファンディング目的での利用ではないのですが、購入数が増えるたびに達成率が伸びるのでエンタメ性もあり、会員向けやコアユーザー向けの先着販売といった販促には大変有用でした。

Ralph Beeby & the Elephant Collective

Location United Kingdom

Pretty straightforward to use, without all the hoops I would have had to jump through to set up on a lot of the better-known crowdfunding platforms. A great boon to be able to host a crowdfunder directly on my shop without having to redirect customers to a completely different website.
