We've used this in two of our stores now and Julian is super helpful and responsive. We're also very happy with the app itself.
This APP was just what I was looking for to be able to run a pre-sale crowdfunding campaign directly from my website! It was straightforward, simple and easy to use! I had a few questions at the end and Julian was an amazing support and guide with his guidance and transparency. As an artist entrepreneur trying to raise funds for my creations, I so appreciate the fact that the monthly fee is all is incurred and not additional percentage is taken as revenue. So honest and fair, thank you!
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.
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.
I used this to bring back a product we had not sold for a few years. It was easy to setup and worked well. The only thing I thought was strange was the way it displayed the number (the used of the . and , was confusing for some people) It may work in some European countries but not ours. Apart from that it was flawless and will more than likely use in the future again.
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.
Amazing app! Has transformed our business! Thank you Crowdfunded team!
These guys were great. I had a vision to use their app in a very unconventional way. 2 weeks of back and forth with their support team, they worked so diligently with me that I felt like I had unpaid employees at one point. In the end, we got the app to do exactly what I needed. Julian, you're my man, thanks!!
