Are you creating your website using WebStarts? Would you like to add Crowdfunding capabilities, and campaigns to your website? This tutorial will show you how you can quickly add a fully white labeled Crowdfunding campaign to your new or existing WebStarts website.
This article is part of the blog series for adding Crowdfunding features on your website.

The solution described in this blog article can be used for any rewards/pre-order, or donations based Crowdfunding campaigns and paradigms. It is great for running a single campaign, or multiple campaigns on separate pages for any new or existing WebStarts site using white label technology such as Atlas. To gain the capabilities to run a fully white labeled Crowdfunding campaign on your WebStarts site, you need to subscribe to an Atlas subscription plan. The Micro subscription plan is great to use for this purpose. Included in the subscription plans is the Sedra widget. You can use the Sedra widget to host a campaign on any web page.
Please note that it is recommended to read the following article to quickly set up the widget for this tutorial.
Creating a Crowdfunding campaign page on your WebStarts Website
Step 1: Subscribe to the Atlas subscription plan.
Step 2: Create the Crowdfunding campaign, and copy the widget code.
Note: depending on the configuration of your site, you may need to approve the campaign to view it live. To do this, you can log in as an administrator, and go to the administrator dashboard, click on campaigns, and choose approved/running from the dropdown menu located in the status column for the campaign that you have created.
Step 3: Create a new page.
Sign in to your WebStarts dashboard, then click on the edit site button.
To create the new page, you can click on the page plus icon in the top left corner of the page. Choose the blank page option and continue.
Choose the blank page option, add a name, then click on the create page button.
Once the page is created, you may want to delete the footer (optional) so that it only will display the campaign footer on the page instead of 2 different footers.
Now that you have created a new campaign, and deleted the footer, you can then paste the widget code.
Step 4: Paste the widget code and view the campaign.
Click on the plus button on the left menu to add the embed code element onto the page.
Paste the widget code.
Once you have pasted the widget code, you can see that the box will show the campaign. In order to fully view the campaign, you will have to expand the box to the full extent of the page.
You can now view and donate to the campaign.
That is how you can add any pre-order, rewards, and donations based Crowdfunding campaign on to your WebStarts website. For a full and more detailed tutorial, you can watch the following video:
