Overview
Crowd Control is an advanced Shopify application developed to help successful Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaigns use their Shopify store to:
- Collect shipping and product details from backers.
- Increase funding via the sale of additional items to backers.
- Access the world's best solutions for customer and delivery management.
Crowd Control is not a fulfillment service.
Getting started (simplified checklist)
- Import backer/campaign data into Crowd Control Pledge Manager
- Review and confirm the accuracy of project data.
- Create products on Shopify to match the items offered during your crowdfunding campaign.
- Match the products on Shopify to those from your campaign data.
- Customize survey notifications.
- Review/edit Shopify collections created as a survey for each pledge/contribution level.
- Customize the survey template.
- Create discount or gift card codes to send to backers.
- Send surveys.
Fees
Crowd Control charges $.35/backer processed through the application and a 5% commission for the purchase of add-ons made at the time of survey completion.
Per backer fees are billed to your Shopify monthly subscription.
5% fee is billed via Stripe.
Example
A campaign with 1000 backers would pay $350 in backer fees. If that same project had $100k in funding, then had $10k in add-ons sales through Crowd Control, the add-on fees* would be $500 ($10k @ 5%).
Total Crowd Control fees = $850
*Store owners are responsible for applicable payment processing fees.
