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
Which Keychains are opening?
The Bat, Frog, and Skeleton keychains are all opening. The Bees, Bookworm and Ribcage (smaller than the skeleton) are NOT openable, and will only come with the inserts pictured with them.
Which Inserts can I get?
Each Keychain was designed so that any of the inserts will fit inside. You should be able to put at least three in each charm at a time, maybe more (especially with the Skeleton Keychain which has a larger cavity)
When will I get my order?
After the campaign ends, I will place the order for the keychains. After that, it should be about 3-5 weeks for production, then another 1-2 weeks for me to ship them out. You will receive a tracking number for your order as soon as I send it out!
How many keychains can I get?
As many as you like! Once you select your pledge level, you'll be taken to an add-on page where you'll pick your inserts (if you got opening keychains) or grab more keychains! Opening and regular shaker keychains can be added to your cart from here, and I even have some new regular keychain designs that will be available here too!
