Crowdfunding is basically a Process of raising fund to complete a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier You might have used our\u00a0<\/strong>Crowdfunding App<\/strong>\u00a0for Shopify<\/a> for raising funds to complete Projects on your own choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we came up with a new concept using which the project owner will collect the fund and complete the project on “Customer’s Choice”<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Project owner will make various Project Options<\/strong> for their customers by adding some Rewards<\/strong> on them and customer will be bidding on the Options of their own choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Bidding Feature, You as a project owner can add new Projects, make multiple project options and add rewards on them for the customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once done, Customers can bid on any of the Project Options and can view the Donations & Rewards set on each options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the project is completed, Project Option with maximum bid will be the Winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, all the customers who bid on that winning project option will get notified via Email.  In this way, Customers can donate for the Project Option of their choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s understand this Feature in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
