Crowdfunding fulfillment process


  • Develop an exceptional product and launch your crowdfunding campaign

    It all starts with a product concept, development, and marketing it to potential backers.


  • Ship inventory to our network of worldwide fulfillment centers

    Once you’ve raised enough money to manufacture your product and select a supplier, your ShipMonk journey begins. When completed, your supplier ships your products to one of ShipMonk’s eleven 1st party fulfillment centers (located across the U.S. with international locations in Mexico, Canada, and the U.K.).


  • Products received into inventory with quality control to ensure excellence

    Once your products are delivered to our fulfillment centers, we’ll induct them into inventory via the ShipMonk platform. During that process, we take photos and precise measurements of every SKU, forcing strong quality control standards and optimizing shipping costs. After inbound receipt and entry, you’ll have complete visibility of your goods via the ShipMonk 3PL ecommerce fulfillment platform.


  • Integrate ShipMonk with your crowdfunding platform & ecommerce stores for omnichannel fulfillment

    Our award-winning software integrates with 75+ plug-and-play ecommerce shopping carts, marketplaces, and solution providers. Eliminate the need for manual work, as our system will automatically sync orders, inventory, returns, etc.


  • Create a stellar unboxing experience with custom packaging or kitting

    Unboxing is the critical moment. Our customizable packaging options will make your customers feel like kids on Christmas. ShipMonk prides itself on maintaining the flexibility to meet your vision, whether it be: gift messaging, promotional inserts, branded stickers, custom presentation, removing a layer of packaging, or whatever else you can dream up.


  • Moment of truth – Your backer’s order is delivered

    Everything is about getting your product to this point. We know this is your brand’s time to shine, and we’ve built our process to ensure that happens. For those times when ship happens, we’ve got you covered. With ShipMonk’s claims portal, you can file, track and resolve claims directly in-portal.

Crowdfunding fulfillment features
