FAQ
Participation in the Spotlight is free, right?
Yes it is! Not only is it free to participate, Crowdfundr will be investing in promoting the event to drive more people to discover your work.
What about platform fees?
Crowdfundr is free! We even have a model that will help you cover the payment processing fees. Learn more
Is this good for first time creators or crowdfunders?
Absolutely! No project is too small, and this a great opportunity to get personalized coaching on creating a crowdfunding campaign.
What if I don't have a project right now?
You don’t need a major new work to participate. We believe crowdfunding is a great way to build your audience. Running smaller campaigns in between big projects is a great way to build your audience. Register your interest and we’ll brainstorm a campaign idea with you.
I'm not sure crowdfunding is right for me. How do I know?
Crowdfundr does more than crowdfunding. You can also set up an online store with us and get the same great free pricing. We also offer a Keep-it-All model of crowdfunding that’s great for a pre-order event. Register your interest and we can advise you on whether there might be a good way for you to participate in the Spotlight and grow your audience.
I have an established audience in another platform. Should I switch?
That’s a tough one to answer in an FAQ as every situation is different. Register your interest and we’ll be happy to advise you. Sometimes we’ll be a good option, sometimes we won’t. We’ll help you figure it out.
How does shipping work?
You can chose to charge flat rates, use add-on shipping pricing, or not charge shipping until the campaign is over using a pledge manager or fulfillment company. See our partners for more options.
What if I have more questions?

Why Crowdfundr?
You decide how we get paid
We offer three pricing plans and let you decide which one works best for your needs. Best of all, with our Optional Tips, we charge you nothing. That’s right, it’s free! Learn more
All-or-Nothing, or Keep-it-All
It’s your choice, not ours. With All-or-Nothing you and your supporters will be working together towards a funding goal - everyone wins or no one does. With Keep-it-All you get paid out over the course of the campaign and make only as many orders as you received.
Receive Funding ASAP
No need to wait until the campaign is over. If your All-or-Nothing campaign hits your goal early, you can choose to deposit funding immediately and get started fulfilling rewards for your supporters sooner.
Get Started Right Away
With Crowdfundr, you can have your crowdfunding campaign up and running in less than an hour. No approval or extra hassle. Just go and enjoy the process!
What Lucy thinks about Crowdfundr
"It was so easy on Crowdfundr. Being able to easily export all your backer info per reward was really helpful because I have over 250 rewards with varying packages."
