Universe Funder WooCommerce Crowdfunding System

Description

Universe Funder is a All or Nothing Crowdfunding System. If you are looking for Keep What You Raise Crowdfunding System then check our Galaxy Funder Plugin

Universe Funder is a All or Nothing Crowdfunding System built on top of WooCommerce and is rich in features. It is a WooCommerce Extension Plugin. Using Universe Funder you can run your own Crowdfunding site or add the Campaigns for Crowdfunding on top of your existing WooCommerce Shop. It works with the 2 inbuilt Payment Gateways – Stripe and PayPal Preapproval..

Please note that Universe Funder works on the Shop Page as follows i.e. on the Shop Page you won’t get the contribution field for the user to enter the contribution amount but will be linked to the Single Product Page so the user can come to the Single Product Page to make the contribution.

Universe Funder Crowdfunding Campaign

Each Campaign creation is similar to creating a WooCommerce Simple Product. In the Simple Product Page you have the option to Enable Universe Funder which when checked ON will turn the Simple Product into a Crowdfunding Campaign.

Universe Funder supports two types of Crowdfunding Campaigns.

1. Fundraising by CrowdFunding
It is the regular type of running a Crowdfunding Campaign for raising funds.

2. Product Purchase by CrowdFunding
If someone wants to buy one or more products in your site but he/she doesn?t have money to buy then the buyer can create a Crowdfunding campaign to buy the products. The buyer can then promote the campaign with his/her friends for funding. Once the goal amount (which is the product price) is reached then the products are automatically added to the campaign creator?s My Account purchases.
