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
Is this just BIRDIE Pro with Bag Tags?
Yes. But what it really is: An opportunity for you to get a copy of BIRDIE Pro and pretty good pricing with free shipping (in the USA) for Christmas. If you are really into bag tags, that's a pretty sweet bonus.
How will this get to me by Christmas?
We are so confident in your support, we've already ordered everything. The Backerkit (that doesn't sound as good as "the Kickstarter") will end 12/11 and we will spend the next days furiously getting everything ready to ship from Ohio by the following Monday. This will give the games over a week to be delivered.
Why can't I order Fox Run also?
The Fox Run Expansion Pack is sold out. Our plan is to make the initial run of each expansion pack and then move on to the next course. If we kept reprinting them, it would discourage us from making new courses, and there are so many great courses that need to be represented.
