If you’re crowdfunding a new album release, tour, or other project, you can use this page preset to set up everything you’ll need right on your website.

All pledges from your fans are commission-free, and we don’t touch the financial transaction. Funds are processed through Stripe or PayPal and go directly into your account without any delay.

To add the crowdfunding page to your site, you can go to edit content – pages – add page, and then under more page types, select the crowdfunding page

This preset template automatically populates a page with our built-in features to help you easily create a crowdfunding campaign.

This page includes a video feature to add a promotional video for your project from YouTube or Vimeo, with a description area below to create an overview of your project

A mailing list signup is also included, so fans can sign up and stay up to date with your crowdfunding progress

The music and store features can be used to take album pre-orders, bundle digital music with CDs or vinyl, and create custom merch bundles and experiences for your fans. And, if you’re a pro member, your music sales are all reported to SoundScan on the day you release your album.

Additionally, you can create a direct donation item on the page’s store to allow fans to contribute directly to your campaign with the pay what you want option.

The Blog feature can be used to post regular updates about the campaign progress, as well as to share other updates or behind the scenes content with your fans.

Finally, the FAQ section can be used to address common questions about your project that fans may have.

I’m going to reveal four ways to start a totally new crowdfunding website. If you’re trying to start a platform like Kickstarter or Indiegogo, this video is for you! I’ll go over how to build one and how that will vary with your budget.

If you’re planning on starting a crowdfunding platform, you’re going to need a robust architecture, but you’ll also need a great marketing strategy.

Don’t just go and create a Kickstarter clone. Think about how you’re going to stand out. Why will people use your website over others?
