★★★★★Lizard Doggofrom Canada · 14 October 2025

I've used Crowd Control for a total of six Kickstarter Campaigns, and I plan to use it on my next ones as well. The Shopify integration is critical to interface with my 3PL warehouses and drive upsells, and the price cannot be beat.For first time users of the new system, take advantage of their white glove service, and get help formatting your initial backer report, as there are some limitations. For example, if you have an add-on that is also a set of products, you'll need to include separate columns for each item. An easy fix, but important to get it right the first time. The system is robust enough that you can maintain control of almost any edge case, which is good news!

★★★★★Chickadee Lane Press | Gabrielle Landifrom United States · 21 August 2025

Absolutely fantastic. Crowd Control makes fulfilling all of my campaigns a breeze! While the initial set up was hard to figure out, every campaign since has only gotten easier, and their support is fantastic and was there through every issue. So thankful for Jason and Crowd Control!

★★★★★ChessUp 2from United States · 4 February 2025

Jason from Crowd Control was tremendously helpful and thorough. We used Crowd Control to manage our Kickstarter and Indiegogo project with over 6,000 backers. It is incredibly convenient to have that entire order history in our Shopify store. So we are happy we used Crowd Control as the solution. It does take some work to set up but it is well supported and the work is no more than any other crowdfunding solution.The price was very reasonable and the additional value is that our customer base, order history, and logistics flows are all hooked up to Shopify. That value continues for years.

★★★★★Town Mouse Bikesfrom United Kingdom · 4 December 2023

Using Crowd Control has been an absolutely fantastic decision. It has enabled us to bring all of our customers from Kickstarter and IndieGoGo straight into our Shopify store. I would highly recommend the software and we plan on using it in the future. Thank you to the team behind the app. William Town Mouse Bikes Ltd

★★★★★AFTRMRKTfrom Canada · 4 April 2023

I used Crowd Control as my pledge manager for my Kickstarter campaign for a number of reasons but I'll state the most important ones for me:1. Integration with my Shopify Store. If you already plan on having your own storefront this makes plenty of sense to start driving traffic to your site. 2. Integration with your shipping carrier through Shopify. I went with UPS calculated rates so I don't have to worry about charging the correct rates for each country. 3. The price was much more reasonable compared to other pledge managers 4. The support was amazing. Jason was always quick to respond with any issues.Highly recommend. Although I wish they had more style templates I'm looking forward to their upcoming updates and new features.

    The app does a great job of helping you to get kickstarter customers to enter their reward requests into your shopify site for easy fulfillment processing. The biggest thing to keep in mind is organizing your kickstarter rewards in a way that can be fulfilled without too much back end work. The developer is responsive. Nothing took longer than a day to get adjusted. Multiple emails get sent out, and if the customer doesn't check their email, as is often the case, you can easily give them a link to manually process their order. We've used this on 2 kickstarters so far and I'll happily use it in the future.

I got to direct traffic to my website instead of a third party website 4. Visually pleasing 5. Intuitive interface with easy instructionsHighly recommend.

About ShopDigest

The Shopify ecosystem, shown through the work

ShopDigest is an independent directory of Shopify work. Developers, agencies and experts publish the projects they’ve actually shipped — migrations, rebuilds, custom apps, headless storefronts — with the results attached.

For merchants, that means judging a partner on evidence instead of a sales page: browse real builds in your category and budget, then reach out directly. For builders, it means one profile that keeps working after the project ships.

No commissions, no pay-to-rank placements. The best work rises because people save and follow it.
