How do reward tiers work?

Creators define reward tiers at different pledge levels (e.g., $25 = digital download, $100 = signed copy). Backers choose a tier at checkout. Creators see a fulfillment list of who is owed which reward.

How can backers stay updated on campaigns?

Creators can post campaign updates visible to all backers. High-level updates are public; some can be restricted to backers only. Backers receive email notifications for new updates.

How does referral tracking work?

Each backer gets a unique share link. When a new backer pledges through that link, the referrer is credited in analytics. Top referrers can be rewarded with extra perks configured by the creator.

The Challenge

Why building a Crowdfunding from scratch is hard

Building a Crowdfunding Platform from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing crowdfunding-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Crowdfunding needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Crowdfunding with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Campaign creation with goal, deadline, and reward tiers

Rich media campaign pages with video and updates

All-or-nothing and keep-it-all funding models

Backer management and reward fulfillment tracking

Payment authorization and capture logic (charge on success)

Campaign discovery with categories and featured placement

Creator dashboard: funding progress, backer analytics, traffic sources

Social sharing with referral tracking

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Crowdfunding follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for crowdfunding workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated crowdfunding modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all crowdfunding entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live crowdfunding status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Crowdfunding

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

campaigns (id, creator_id, title, description, goal, model, deadline, status, raised, backer_count, images jsonb, video_url)
pledges (id, campaign_id, backer_id, amount, reward_tier_id, status, payment_intent_id, captured_at)
reward_tiers (id, campaign_id, title, description, amount, limit, claimed_count, estimated_delivery)
campaign_updates (id, campaign_id, author_id, title, body, published_at, backer_only)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Crowdfunding

When a backer pledges, Stripe authorizes (but does not capture) their payment. If the campaign meets its goal before the deadline, all authorizations are captured. If not, all authorizations are released and no one is charged.
