Project FAQ
We understand that circumstances can change, and we want to handle refunds with fairness and transparency. Before the campaign ends You can cancel or adjust your pledge anytime while the campaign is live. No charges are made until the campaign successfully funds, so there’s no risk in changing your mind before then. After the campaign ends, but before fulfillment begins If you need a refund after the campaign has closed but before manufacturing starts, we can provide a full refund minus payment processing fees (these are not returned to us by the payment provider). Once manufacturing begins, materials and production costs are committed. At that point, refunds may only be available on a case-by-case basis, depending on whether your specific reward has entered production. After fulfillment begins Once shipping or digital fulfillment has started, we’re no longer able to issue refunds. However, if your reward arrives damaged, defective, or incomplete, please contact us directly — we’ll replace or resolve it to the best of our ability. Digital Rewards Digital rewards (such as PDFs or digital downloads) are considered delivered once they’re distributed and are non-refundable. How to request a refund Simply contact us through BackerKit support or email [email protected] with your pledge details. We’ll respond as quickly as possible.
We will collect your shipping details and apply shipping charges closer to the time of fulfillment when the items are ready to be shipped. Sales tax and VAT will also be collected at this stage if required by your country’s regulations.

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.
