Wadiz crowdfunding is a reward type of funding that supporters pre-order when a maker reveals a product or service first. Even if it's in the idea or prototype stage, you can start a project without business registration. This article is a basic guide to the maker center that summarizes the funding concept, qualifications, start point, pricing plan, and pre-prepared checklist at once.
1. Types of Crowdfunding and the Structure of Wadiz Funding
Crowdfunding is a way of raising funds from the public. Depending on the type of compensation, it is divided into four types: compensation type, sponsorship type, loan type, and securities type. Wadiz is a double compensation type and sponsorship type. The compensation type is operated by pre-ordering (funding) by supporters when the maker discloses a product or service first. The biggest difference from regular e-commerce is the "pre-order and make" structure. First, it can be produced after checking the actual demand without mass production, so the inventory burden is low and the market reaction can be verified in advance.

You can fund it even if you don't have a finished product
You can start Wadiz funding just by having an idea and a prototype stage. This is because crowdfunding is not about purchasing a finished product, but rather a "process of making a product together." However, for trust with supporters, we need a step to prove the minimum feasibility. Even if you don't have a real product, if you have a sincere story and production plan, you can attract supporters' participation.

2. Wadiz Funding Qualifications
"Can I?" — the most frequently asked question. You don't need to have a business registration. Individuals can also proceed with the project. However, if profits are generated after successful funding, business registration may be necessary, so it is recommended to check in advance. Products already on sale are also available. Even if you have a sales history in your own mall or other commerce, you can do wadiz funding, and you can also do multiple projects at the same time.

3. a good time to start funding
It's most stable to start when you're ready, not when you have an idea. At Wadiz, the first three days after opening determine 60% of total sales. It can be seen that the preliminary preparation stage determines the success or failure of funding.

- When Producibility Is Proven — Proactive Prototypes, Production Systems Are Secured
- When the story structure is in place — a state that can convince you why you're making this product

Q. How is Wadiz funding different from preorder?

Choose according to the completeness of the product and the availability of inventory. If you're curious about the difference, how is the preorder and shopping different?Please refer to .
Q. Can I sell it at other shopping malls during funding?
A. Sales of other channels may be restricted during the Wadiz funding period. Check the time of distribution in advance after the end of funding.
Q. Will that be the end of the funding?
