Description

Crowdfunding turns WooCommerce into a crowdfunding platform, allowing the creation of campaigns with a fundraising goal, funding deadline, and variable contributions from donation-type products. Aimed at those who organize fundraising campaigns, creative projects, social causes, and pre-sales of innovative products, the extension takes advantage of the entire checkout flow, gateways, and reports already configured in the store.

How to Download Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is available for download here on Ultrapack. After saving the .zip file, go to Plugins, Add New, Upload Plugin, select the package, and click Activate. With WooCommerce already installed, the new campaign product type will appear on the product creation screen, ready to receive a goal, deadline, and description.

Aimed at those who need a crowdfunding structure within WooCommerce itself, Crowdfunding avoids maintaining a separate platform and centralizes fundraising, checkout, and reports in a single dashboard.
