Crowdfunding
Raise money for a record, a video or a tour on yoursite.com/support, with a goal, a progress bar, an end date and rewards, and no platform taking a cut.
Create your campaign
The fastest way: in the Setup guide, one click adds a ready-to-edit campaign with sample rewards. It stays hidden until you publish it.
Or Shop → Crowdfunding → Add:
- Title and Your story: what the money is for and what fans get. Short paragraphs work best.
- Cover image and Goal.
- Ends on (empty = no end date).
- Already raised elsewhere: money given in person or before the page opened, added to the total.
- Linked release: its page shows the progress and a Support button.
Rewards
Rewards are products: create a product (download, merch…) and pick the campaign under Reward for the campaign. Rewards show on the campaign page instead of the shop, and stop selling when the campaign ends. Fans pay by card or with their credit.
While it runs
Once published, Support appears in your site's menu, at the top of yoursite.com/links and on the linked release's page, until the end date.
You keep what's raised even if the goal isn't reached. Say so clearly in your story.
