Are you considering to add Crowdfunding capabilities to your Squarespace website? This tutorial will show you how you can quickly add a fully white labeled Crowdfunding campaign to your new or existing Squarespace website.

This the second article of the blog series for adding Crowdfunding features on your website. You can learn about adding Crowdfunding capabilities on other platforms such as Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce, GoDaddy, and PageCloud 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 Squarespace website using white label technology such as Atlas. To gain the capabilities to run a fully white labeled Crowdfunding campaign on your Squarespace website, you need to subscribe to an Atlas subscription plan. 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.
