Crowdfunding for WooCommerce

Crowdfunding for WooCommerce plugin adds full crowdfunding support to WooCommerce.

When adding or editing a product, you will have the possibility to set for each product individually:

• Goal (i.e. pledged) amount.
• Start and end dates.
• Custom “Back This Project” (i.e. “Add to Cart”) button labels.
• Enable “Open Pricing” (i.e. “Name Your Price”) functionality.

Also you will be able to:

• Add a form, so your customers/users could add their custom campaigns directly from frontend.
• Set custom HTML to show when project not yet started and/or ended.
• Modify and choose where to display crowdfunding info, that is: goal remaining, time remaining, already pledged etc.
• Choose when and if to end the campaign (goal reached, time ended).
• Choose which order statuses to count in pledged calculations.
• Style progress bars for time remaining, already pledged etc.
• Enable/disable emails on crowdfunding campaign ended, added and/or edited.

When displaying crowdfunding data for the product, you should use plugin’s shortcodes:
