Are you creating your website using Format? 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 Format website.
This article is part of the blog series for adding Crowdfunding features on your website. You can learn about adding Crowdfunding capabilities on other platforms such as Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, BigCommerce, Boldgrid, Duda, Ucraft, Pagecloud, Site123, Weebly, PrestaShop, Jimdo, One, Webnode, Strikingly, Orson, Pixpa, Yola, WooCommerce, Volusion, and GoDaddy as included in this series.
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 Format site using white label technology such as Atlas. To gain the capabilities to run a fully white labeled Crowdfunding campaign on your Format 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 Format 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.
Log into the Format website. Go to the admin dashboard, and click on the pages option in the left menu.
Next, click on the blue Create button to create the new page.
Then choose the type of page you want to create. For this tutorial, we are going to choose the gallery option.
Give your page a title.
Step 4: Paste the widget code.
Now that you have successfully created a new page on the Format website, you can then add the widget to the page. To do this, click on the Add Item button, and choose the header text item.
Once you have added the new item onto the page, you can select the item, then click on the code button to turn the HTML toggle ON.
Once you have toggled HTML ON, you can then paste the widget code.
Once you paste the widget code, make sure you save your 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 Format website. For a full and more detailed tutorial, you can watch the following video:
