Project FAQ
Backerkick works on a pledge now, pay later basis. So you can select your items now and you pay when the marketplace closes! Once you pay, creators will send our surveys to collect shipping information and then it's as simple as pack and ship!
Due to this unique event, you select the items you want during the add-on phase! Since I made it easy, all shipping is a flat $5 rate as my thanks to everyone!
Because this event is made for ready-to-ship items, I can only ship what I have immediately on hand. This is also a chance to get early access to items from recently funded projects before their official close date! But those items are limited to 10 of each kind, so act fast before they're gone!
Yes, it is! No matter if it's one item or twenty, it's a flat shipping rate of $5 as my gift to you!
Due to the spirit of this event, that all items are in hand before the event ends, I unfornately can not guarantee shipping dates during the holiday season. Due to this, I am shipping US only. Sorry.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
