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
How big are the stickers?
The Hoary Redpoll and Ruby-crowned Kinglet are approximately 3.5x3.5 inches, the rest of the designs are approximately 3x4 inches.
When will I get the stickers?
If this campaign funds, you will receive a survey after it ends to choose your stickers and make any changes to your order. Once I have all of those, I will put in the print order for the sticker. It will take 10-20 business days to print the stickers. Once I receive the stickers, I will package all the orders, which I estimate will take a week depending on my schedule. Then, the stickers will be mailed to you via regular post! I estimate delivery will be in July 2025.
Are the stickers waterproof?
Yes! The stickers are printed on high-quality vinyl and are waterproof, weather-resistant, fade-resistant, scratch-resistant, and UV-protected.
Where are you printing the stickers?
I'm using StickerBunnies, they've been great to work with as a first-time sticker maker!
How did you select the birds?
As I was drawing for Birdtober 2024, the thought popped in my head that my drawings would make nice stickers. It was so hard for me to narrow down my top 6 favorites, so I made a survey and asked my friends, family, and social media followers which drawings they liked best!
