In April, we launched our BookFunnel integration to power Instant Access Rewards, allowing authors and publishers to automatically deliver digital content the moment backers pledge, reserve, or follow a BackerKit campaign.

This solved and supported ebook, audiobook, and bonus content delivery to backers before a campaign even ended.

Now, our Bookfunnel integration is available in BackerKit Pledge Manager to streamline digital reward fulfillment after the campaign ends. 

For backers, this means their digital rewards appear in their BookFunnel library, and they can also access those rewards through a download link – a link unique to each backer – from within their BackerKit dashboard.

For creators, this means no more manual fulfillment for digital downloads after a campaign wraps. Connect your BookFunnel account once, then automate digital reward distribution for good. 

Through this expansion of our BookFunnel integration, the BackerKit Crowdfunding Platform is now the only platform that can streamline BookFunnel digital content delivery across the full campaign lifecycle. 

Key Benefits

  • Automate post-campaign digital content delivery in just a few clicks
  • Avoid manual errors to maintain positive backer experience and brand reputation
  • Send titles to backers’ BookFunnel libraries and via unique links
  • Monitor download link usage via BookFunnel
  • Connect the integration once and enable for every future campaign
  • Update files in BookFunnel, no re-uploading or resending

“This collaboration is huge. We’ve been begging for this to be seamless for years – and you all made it happen. We can’t emphasize how game-changing this is for authors. It’s really big – and it will really impact the reader experience.”
– Katee Robert and Jenny Nordbak, Bonkers Romance

How It Works

For backers, it’s the same experience as every other BackerKit digital download – plus a copy waiting in their BookFunnel library.

  1. Once you start distribution on BackerKit Pledge Manager, backers receive a BackerKit notification email letting them know their digital rewards are ready.
  2. Their book shows up in their BookFunnel library right away.
  3. They can also click the download link on their BackerKit rewards page to view and download the file immediately. No BookFunnel account? The link works on its own.
