Are you creating your website using Yola? 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 Yola 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, UcraftPagecloud, Site123, Weebly, PrestaShop, Jimdo, One, Webnode, Strikingly, Orson, Pixpa 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 Yola site using white label technology such as Atlas. To gain the capabilities to run a fully white labeled Crowdfunding campaign on your Yola 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.
