Bandsintown for Artists ‘Support’ button is a simple call-to-action that will let fans directly contribute to the crowdfunding platform or payment service of your choice, so you can continue to bring them your music. All you have to do is add a link from one of the payment/fundraising services we’ve partnered with and, that’s it! Your artist profile and event pages will be updated to display this new section.
We’ve also made it really easy for you to spread the word to your fans about this feature. The ‘Tell Your Fans’ button (located next to the Support link field) will instantly auto-generate a message containing your Support link and image, so you’ll only need to hit ‘Post’.

1.) To add the ‘Support’ button to your artist page, click on the ‘Profile’ tab in the left-side menu bar.
2.) Click on the ‘Links’ tab, as showed below.
