For Independent Artists
Crowdfund your next show. Sell your prints. Keep your patrons.
One platform for project funding, edition-numbered print sales, and a recurring patron program. 2.5% flat. Compare that to Kickstarter (5% + payment), Patreon (8-12% + payment), Etsy (6.5% + listing fees + ad fees), or a gallery commission (typically 50%).

Three things ScanRaise does that nothing else does together
Project pages with up to 12 photos. Studio progress, in-process shots, finished works. Backers see the project unfold instead of a static thumbnail.
Numbered-edition print store. "Edition of 25, this is #7" auto-prints on the receipt. The store assigns each buyer the next sequential number; the listing flips to soldout when the edition closes. Same model used by reputable print publishers.
Recurring patron memberships. Bronze $5/mo, Silver $25/mo, Gold $100/mo. Patrons swap tiers from a customer portal. Stripe handles billing; you keep 97.5% after the platform fee.
What it costs you vs alternatives
ScanRaise: 2.5% platform fee + Stripe ~2.9% + 30c per transaction. No setup, no monthly, no listing fees.
Kickstarter: 5% platform + ~3-5% payment processing. All-or-nothing funding (you forfeit 100% if you miss your goal).
Patreon: 8-12% platform tier + payment processing. Increasing platform fee discounts as platform fees rise.
Gallery consignment: typically 50% commission. Pre-internet pricing model that ScanRaise unwinds via direct artist-to-buyer commerce.
Etsy / Shopify / Big Cartel: per-listing fees, monthly subscriptions, ad fees, transaction fees. Multiple line items that obscure the true cost.
