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!

Developer repliedHey MYSTIC MAMMA! Thanks for the awesome review. So glad the pre-sale setup was painless - that's what we're aiming for. Julian's going to love hearing he nailed the support experience. The no-revenue-cut pricing really does make a difference when you're bootstrapping creative projects. Every percentage point counts. Good luck with your campaign! -k. Show more

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.

Developer repliedThanks 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. —Kurt Show more

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.

Developer repliedThank 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. Show more

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.

Developer repliedBased 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. Show more

Amazing app! Has transformed our business! Thank you Crowdfunded team!

Developer repliedThank you so much, Fira X Wear! We love hearing that. It's exactly what we're building for. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help :) Show more

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!!

Developer repliedthank you so much!! Show more
