Very Good! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marie-Claire P. | Digital Abstract NFT Artist , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2023 **What do you like best about Bonfire?** I love that it is very easy to create merchandise for sell in this website, it is very useful to be able to print your designs and make tees and other merch. I love that I can make tees of my own art with Bonfire. **What do you dislike about Bonfire?** I dislike that the money amount that is possible to earn is a little low. The price for selling the item to customers is much higher than the amount the creator will receive when there is a sale. **What problems is Bonfire solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bonfire benefits me in solving the issue of finding a high quality tee print. People really love tee shirts with art, and Bonfire benefits me with helping me sell tee shirt and other items with my art on it. ### 2.

Excellent Sourcing Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civic & Social Organization | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Bonfire?** I like that Bonfire is streamlined, relatively frictionless across tools, and acts as a 'one stop stop' solution to our internal cloud, contract, vendor, and sourcing operations. **What do you dislike about Bonfire?** There's not much that I or the team dislike about Bonfire, if I had to name something it would have to be the pricing, but it is always worth investing in quality tools for an organization so this is a null point imo. **What problems is Bonfire solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use bonfires fundraising solutions to help manage our grants processes, reviewing/comparing, reporting out on our impact and engaging with proposals effectively. This reduces a lot of admin work for the team. ### 5. Great Start to P-O-D Stores. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Bonfire?** Bonfire is free to use for the store - which is great. There's no minimum inventory required - also great. They also have a way to set-up a store without the need for integrating into your own website via API - which is great if you're not tech savvy since you won't have to pay a webdeveloper. **What do you dislike about Bonfire?** Right now, their product choices are a bit limited to their competitors. That seems to be the trade-off for ease of use. The product catalog is really geared towards quick turn-around on t-shirts and hoodies. **What problems is Bonfire solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problem that was solved was inventory control and shipping. Bonfire is print-on-demand which allowed us to change designs whenever we wanted without having to worry about having inventory leftover. ### 6.
