WP Crowdfunding Pro - The Ultimate Fundraising WordPress Plugin 11.2.1

**WP Crowdfunding Pro**, developed by **Themeum**, is a robust, WooCommerce-based solution designed to transform any WordPress site into a professional fundraising platform like Kickstarter or Indiegogo. It is particularly powerful because it allows for "Multi-user" environments where visitors can sign up and launch their own campaigns. 

### Core Features of the Pro Version 

While the free version handles basic fundraising, the **Pro** version unlocks the "Marketplace" and "Automation" features essential for a commercial platform: 

* **Native Wallet System:** Acts as an internal bank. It tracks raised funds, calculates site commissions, and manages withdrawal requests from campaign owners. 
* **Stripe Connect & PayPal Adaptive:** These are "split payment" gateways. They automatically send a percentage of each pledge to the site owner (commission) and the rest to the campaign owner instantly. 
* **Unlimited Reward Tiers:** Unlike the free version (limited to one reward), Pro allows creators to offer multiple tiers (e.g., $10 for a shoutout, $50 for the product, $100 for a signed edition). 
* **Frontend Campaign Management:** Campaign owners never see the WordPress backend. They submit projects, update their backers, and request money via a clean, frontend user dashboard. 
* **Email Notifications:** Automated alerts for new pledges, successful funding goals, and withdrawal approvals. 
* **Advanced Reports:** Export CSV files of backer data and view detailed analytical graphs of your platform's growth.

2. **Activate Pro Add-ons:** In the settings, enable the **Native Wallet** and **Stripe Connect** add-ons specifically. 
3. **Define Commissions:** Set a global commission percentage (e.g., 5%) that the site keeps from every successful project. 
4. **Create Frontend Pages:** Use the plugin's built-in shortcodes to generate the "Submit Project" and "User Dashboard" pages.
