Crowdfund From Your Own Website

Featured in the App Store

"A great boon to be able to host a crowdfunder directly on my shop without having to redirect customers to a completely different website."

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.

Enter Crowdfunder App

Let’s first understand what does Crowdfunding means. Crowdfunding is the concept of ‘Money from Many’ to complete a Project.

A Process of raising Funds/Money from the mass for a Project/Venture/Donation, where the Owner explains and informs about the Idea of Project and set the Budget which will be required for the Completion. Then the people contribute towards the Project if they feel that the Project/Cause is worthy enough.

On the similar concept, we have created this amazing app called Shopify Crowdfunding App.

Crowdfunding uses a small amount of money from a huge mass of individuals to initiate/fund a Project/Business Venture/Non-Profit Organization. The App is very useful for businesses requires funding.

What the App Offers :

1. Multiple Projects can be created at a time.
2. An Informative Dashboard telling about all the current Campaigns/Projects with recent Notifications.
3. Admin can write create multiple Campaigns/Projects.
4. Admin can set a Reward Amount for the People making the donations.
5. Its up to the Admin/Store Owner, whether the Project Donation Progress is to be shown on Store Front or not.

Adding a New Project

The Add Project Process involves 3 Stages.

-Project Detail - Start Creating Project from this Section.

-Donation & Reward - From this Section, you can Create the Rewards for those Donors who are contributing towards your Projects.

-Additional Detail - Put any additional details like a Video to make the People understand more about your Project.

Once you have created the Project and have Configured your App, then on Frontend this is how your Project will get displayed.

Crowdfunding? You need Crowd Control.

Get the most out of your Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign by using your online store to collect shipping addresses and product details from backers, sell more and optimize fulfillment. Run your business like a business, that’s our motto.

Overview

Crowd Control provides a payment-free checkout to backers based on your specifications and store settings, allowing them to create an order for their pledged items and purchase additional products as wanted.

Customizable email templates and survey pages combined with Shopify’s resources for fulfillment and order management means you get greater control for your business than with any other pledge management or survey solution.

Go further after funding

Your business will profit from much more than just increased sales by using your store to manage backers and ship rewards. Crowd Control helps you access the world’s best business solutions to:

• Strengthen brand awareness
• Gain social media followers
• Optimize order and customer management
• Expand fulfillment options
• Build valuable marketing data
• Create referral programs
• Conduct market research
• Advertise
• Grow mailing lists
• And more

How does it work?

A collection page featuring reward and add-on products should be created by the store to represent each pledge level and serve as the survey and landing page for the designated backers. Crowd Control imports product data from these collections to create and deliver discount or gift card codes to backers based on the checkout costs (i.e. price + shipping) for product quantities defined by you for each pledge level.

Unless payment for shipping is required, surveys provide a payment-free checkout when a backer selects only the items defined by you. Payment for add-on items is captured through your store’s standard payment gateways. All surveys completed at checkout are created as orders on your store.

Shipping and fulfillment

Since each backer survey is created as an order on your store, you can save time and money by using your preferred fulfillment solutions to purchase postage and ship rewards. Order and shipping confirmation emails are automatically sent to backers using your established workflow.
