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.

— Makers Cabinet

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

— Fira XWear

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!!

— hygge panda

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...

— MYSTIC MAMMA

First class support and professionalism.

— LoadLess

This app has transformed our business and Julian and the team have been super helpful answering all sorts of related questions. Highly recommend.

— Etchr Lab

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 pr...

— Freedom Funnel

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.

— Abby Wilson Art

Julian is very helpful and prompt to reply. Definitely recommend this application for your crowdfunding needs!

— Playground

Support was fast and efficient

— Smartlet

Julian Schnehage has been amazing to work with. Julian helped us get some extra implementation set up for our site launch! Works as needed & is fantastic humans to collab with.

— Drybar Shop

Amazing experience with their customer support. Super responsive. The product works perfectly for our need. This is the app if you want to have crowdfunding capabilities

— Off/Script

Every time I download the app, it doesn't open. I've tried 3 times over a week and a half.

— Cuddle Buddy

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.

— Mochipan

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.

— Plushfoundry

Every time I click Published theme, it always prompts We're sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information. I'm fucking pissed off, shit.

— stokevoltaics

I would give this app no stars, if I could. There is no way to uninstall the application, once it's on. I have been trying for hours, to get rid of it and they charged me before I could figure it out.

— Myth Kinz

Extremely disappointed! I've spent 3 hours figuring out how to publish the campaign but I couldn't figure it out. It was such a frustration for me.

— Groovy ToeJams

Setup is easy. I am trying to pre-sell my ebook and I need a separate plug-in for that. After the campaign is done there is no way I can send a download link to my customers.
