What is WooCommerce crowdfunding

What does a WooCommerce crowdfunding plugin do?

A WooCommerce crowdfunding plugin turns a product page into a fundraising campaign. It shows a money goal, a progress bar, a countdown and reward tiers. Supporters choose an amount and pay through the store checkout, and each contribution counts toward the goal once the order is paid.

This plugin supports both crowdfunding models. Flexible campaigns keep every contribution. All or nothing campaigns release the money only when the goal is met and refund every supporter when it is missed. It is part of the DevDiggers WooCommerce extensions range.

The problem

Crowdfunding sites take a cut and keep your supporters

You send your audience to a crowdfunding platform. It takes a share of every pledge and a payment fee on top. The backer list lives on someone else's site.

A plain donation button on your store is no better. It shows no goal, no rewards and no deadline. Nothing gives people a reason to give today.

See how campaigns work
  • Platform fees come off every pledge
  • Supporters check out on someone else's site
  • A missed all or nothing goal means refunding people one by one
  • Backers hear nothing after they pay
  • Nobody can see how close the campaign is
How it works

How crowdfunding works in WooCommerce

A campaign is a WooCommerce product with a goal. Every contribution is an ordinary order.

  1. Create the campaign

    Add a story, a cover image, a goal, an end date and reward tiers. Or let a customer start one from My Account and approve it first.

  2. Supporters pick a reward

    On the campaign page they choose a reward and an amount, add a message and pay through your checkout.

  3. The progress bar moves

    Once the order is paid, the amount counts toward the goal. A cancelled or refunded order comes off again.

  4. The campaign closes

    Funded campaigns pay out to the creator. A missed all or nothing goal refunds every supporter in one click.

Features

Everything a WooCommerce crowdfunding plugin should do

From the first contribution to the final payout, every campaign runs on your own store and checkout.

A crowdfunding campaign page that shows real progress

Each campaign shows the amount raised, the goal, a progress bar, the funded percentage, supporters and days left. A live countdown runs to the end date.

Story, Rewards, Updates and Supporters tabs replace the usual product tabs. The organiser's name and photo sit under the progress card.

  • Raised amount, goal and progress bar
  • Live countdown to the end date
  • Story, Rewards, Updates and Supporters tabs
  • Your own accent color

Flexible or all or nothing funding, with one-click refunds

Pick the model per campaign. Flexible campaigns keep every contribution. All or nothing campaigns hold the payout until the goal is reached by the end date.

When an all or nothing goal is missed, the campaign moves to Needs refund. One button refunds every supporter through your payment gateway.

  • Flexible or all or nothing per campaign
  • Goal, end date or both
  • Needs refund list for missed goals
  • Refund every supporter in one click

Reward tiers that sell out on their own

Give each reward a title, a minimum amount, a description and an estimated delivery date. Supporters see them as cards they can pick on the campaign page.

Set a quantity limit and the card counts down "34 of 40 left". When the last one goes, it switches to Sold out without you touching it.

  • Unlimited reward tiers
  • Minimum amount for each reward
  • Quantity limit with automatic Sold out
  • Estimated delivery date

Stretch goals on the progress bar

Add milestones beyond the main goal, such as "$18,000: six months of follow-up scans". Each one is marked on the progress bar.

Supporters see what extra money unlocks. A campaign that is already funded still has a reason to keep raising.

  • As many milestones as you need
  • Marked on the progress bar
  • Shown as a checklist on the campaign
  • Creators can add their own

Contributions that fit every supporter

Use a fixed amount, or let supporters choose with quick pick buttons like $25, $50 and $100. Set a minimum per campaign and a maximum per contribution.

Supporters can add the platform fee on top so the creator gets the full gift. The reward, the message and the covered fee all show in the cart and on the order.

  • Fixed or choose your amount
  • Quick pick amounts you set
  • Optional "cover the fee" checkbox
  • Limit gateways offered for contributions

A supporters wall with messages

Every supporter appears on the campaign's Supporters tab with their amount, their message and when they gave. Names show as first name and last initial.

Supporters can hide their name and still give. Their Backed Campaigns page in My Account follows each campaign they supported and the reward they chose.

  • Public wall with amounts and messages
  • Anonymous giving when you allow it
  • Backed Campaigns in My Account
  • You still see who gave

Campaign updates emailed to every supporter

Post news from the campaign editor, like "Cycle five is done". It appears as a timeline in the Updates tab of the campaign.

Tick "Email this update" and every supporter gets it. The emails go out in the background through Action Scheduler. A big supporter list never slows the save.

  • Updates tab on every campaign
  • Optional email to all supporters
  • Sent in the background
  • Creators post their own updates

Customers run their own campaigns from My Account

Turn your store into a fundraising platform. Customers start a campaign from My Account with a story, a cover image, rewards and stretch goals.

New campaigns wait in Pending approval until you publish them. You can exclude user roles and cap how long a campaign may run.

  • Start a Campaign form in My Account
  • Approve before a campaign goes live
  • Excluded roles and maximum duration
  • Creators see their supporters

Platform fees and creator payouts

Charge creators a platform fee as a percentage or a fixed amount, with an override for any campaign. The fee comes off when the creator withdraws.

Creators request a payout once their campaign closes. You see the raised amount, the fee and the amount to pay. Mark it as paid, reject it, or pay it into their store wallet with our WooCommerce wallet plugin.

  • Percentage or fixed platform fee
  • Fee override for any campaign
  • Payout requests you review
  • One-click payouts into a store wallet

A campaigns page with filters and categories

Campaigns stay out of your shop and search. One shortcode puts them on their own page as cards with progress, supporters and days left.

Visitors search and filter by category and status, and sort by newest, ending soon, most raised or most funded. Featured campaigns can lead the page.

  • Campaigns page shortcode with filters
  • Campaign categories
  • Featured campaigns
  • Single campaign card shortcode
Campaigns page with search, category and status filters and campaign cards, beside the Campaign Categories screen

Share buttons and a live embed card

Most money comes from people a creator shares with. Share buttons for Facebook, X, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, email and copy link sit on every campaign.

Visitors can copy an embed code that puts a live campaign card on a blog or partner site. Pick the button shape, style, size and labels to match your theme.

  • Six share networks
  • Embeddable live campaign card
  • Shape, style, size and label options
  • No tracking scripts loaded

A crowdfunding dashboard that shows what needs you

See the amount raised, contributions, supporters, the average contribution and your success rate. Each one compares against the last period.

A Needs Attention list gathers approvals, payouts and refunds. Top campaigns, recent contributions and campaigns ending soon sit below, and both lists export to CSV.

  • Amount raised and success rate
  • Contributions trend chart
  • Needs Attention list
  • CSV export of campaigns and contributions

Why this plugin

Why run crowdfunding on WooCommerce instead of a platform

A crowdfunding site owns the page, the fee and the supporter list. On your store, all three stay with you.

  1. No cut of every pledge

    You pay your gateway's normal fee and nothing more. If you host other people's campaigns, the platform fee is yours.

  2. Supporters stay your customers

    Every supporter has an order and an account on your store. You can email them about the next campaign or product.

  3. Your checkout and gateways

    Contributions go through the checkout your customers already trust, with every gateway you already use.

  4. All or nothing without the busywork

    A missed goal lands in Needs refund. One button returns every contribution through the gateway.

  5. Counts that stay correct

    Only paid orders count. Cancelled, refunded and failed orders come off on their own, and no order is counted twice.

  6. A reason to give today

    Goals, countdowns, limited rewards and stretch goals do what a donation button cannot. They give supporters urgency.

  7. Kept current with WooCommerce

    Block checkout, HPOS and the latest WordPress and WooCommerce releases are supported and tested.

  8. One yearly price with every feature

    There are no add-ons and no feature levels to buy. Every plan has the full plugin, updates and support.

  9. Live in a few minutes

    A four-step setup wizard sets sensible defaults. Your first campaign can take contributions the same day.

  10. Built by WooCommerce specialists

    This plugin is made by a team that builds WooCommerce plugins full time, follows WordPress coding standards, and usually answers support within hours.

From the founder

Why I built Crowdfunding

Store owners asked us for the same thing again and again. They wanted to raise money for a project on their own site and their own checkout. They did not want a platform taking 5% and the supporter list with it.

I built Crowdfunding so a campaign is simply part of WooCommerce. Supporters pay like any customer and every contribution is an order you can see. If an all or nothing goal is missed, one button gives everyone their money back.

FAQ

WooCommerce crowdfunding FAQ

Answers to what store owners ask us most about running crowdfunding campaigns on WooCommerce.

Ask a Question

A flexible campaign keeps every contribution, even if it never reaches the goal. An all or nothing campaign only pays out when the goal is met by the end date. If it falls short, every supporter is refunded. You choose the model for each campaign.

The campaign moves to Campaigns > Needs refund. Click Refund supporters and the plugin refunds each contribution in turn through your payment gateway.

It uses the normal WooCommerce refund process. Some gateways, like bank transfer, cannot refund on their own. Those orders are marked refunded with a note to send the money back by hand.

Right away. A contribution is a normal WooCommerce order. The card is charged at checkout. The plugin does not hold cards and charge them later, because card holds expire after a few days on most gateways. A missed all or nothing goal is refunded in one click instead.

All of them. Contributions go through your normal checkout. Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer and any other gateway accept them. You can limit which gateways appear when the cart holds a contribution.

When its order is paid, which means Processing or Completed. It comes off again if the order is cancelled, refunded or fails. An order is never counted twice.

Yes. Customers start a campaign from My Account with a story, an image, rewards and stretch goals. You can review each one before it goes live, exclude user roles and cap how long a campaign may run.

Once a campaign closes, the creator requests a payout from My Account. You see the amount raised, the platform fee and the amount to pay. Send the money by PayPal or bank and mark it as paid, or pay it into their store wallet with our WooCommerce wallet plugin. There is no automatic split payment.

Yes. Set a percentage or a fixed amount, and override it for any campaign. The fee comes off when the creator is paid. With a percentage fee, supporters can tick a box to cover it so the creator gets the full gift.

As many as you like. Each reward has a minimum amount, a description, an optional quantity limit and an estimated delivery date. Limited rewards show how many are left and switch to Sold out on their own.

No. Campaigns are saved as virtual products. Checkout asks only for billing details. If your rewards ship, ask for the address in the reward description or contact supporters before delivery.

No. Campaigns are hidden from the shop and search. They never mix with your products. The campaigns shortcode lists them on their own page with filters and categories.

Yes, when you allow it. Their name is hidden from the public supporters wall. You and the organiser still see who gave on the order.

Ten, each with its own switch, subject, heading and message editor. They cover the thank-you to supporters, new contribution, campaign submitted, approved, goal reached, ended, campaign update and the three payout emails.

Yes. Contributions work in the Cart and Checkout blocks and the classic checkout. High-Performance Order Storage is declared compatible, and the contribution lists work with either storage type.

No. This plugin runs reward and donation style campaigns, where supporters give money and may get a reward. It does not sell shares or loans, which are regulated as equity or lending crowdfunding. Ask a tax advisor how rewards are taxed where you sell.

Yes. DevDiggers Crowdfunding for WooCommerce runs campaigns you create, with up to three rewards, a supporters wall, a dashboard and four emails. Pro adds customer campaigns, all or nothing, stretch goals, fees and payouts.

Want to compare other options first? Read our comparison of WooCommerce crowdfunding plugins.

Yes. Recreate your live campaigns with their goal, end date and rewards. Past orders stay in WooCommerce as they are. Our support team can help you plan the move.
