WooCommerce Crowdfunding Plugin Documentation
The WooCommerce Crowdfunding module enables admins and customers to initiate events or campaigns to raise funds through crowdfunding. It allows several registered or guest consumers to participate in the activities.
This plugin allows business owners and consumers to start campaigns for new items, projects, or initiatives and request pledges from their customers. The campaign aims to achieve a specific financial goal. Once this goal is reached, the event owner can utilize the cash to launch the product, project, or initiative.
The WooCommerce Crowdfunding plugin also aids store owners in establishing a community of supporters for their products, projects, or activities. Store owners may enhance consumer involvement, foster brand loyalty, and promote positive word-of-mouth by involving customers and supporters. By providing prizes to supporters, business owners may motivate consumers to promote their campaigns, ultimately boosting support and achieving their financing objectives.
