BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
Do you have any early bird incentives?
Yes, everyone who pledges during the first 48 hours of the campaign will receive a free e-book of our source novel "Manhattan Transfer" by John E. Stith.
Will there be stories beyond this pilot?
Most certainly! We are planning a multi-season story arc for our abducted Manhattanites! Not only will the story be broad and all-encompassing, but the individual characters will go through their own story arcs as well.
Is there a way to be more financially involved in Manhattan Transfer?
Yes, we are going to do equity funding through WeFunder. This means you are investing in our project (not just pledging for a reward) and you could get returns and profit on your investment! More details soon!
This is an impressive cast. Some projects, though, list a "wish-list" of actors, not ones who are actually part of the production. Are these all really part of your cast?
Absolutely! Each one of these incredible actors are fully signed on to the project and are really excited about getting the production started!
