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
Will there be a pledge manager? Wird es einen Pledge Manager geben?
Yes! Ja!
When will the book be delivered? Wann wird das Buch ausgeliefert?
The book has been written, revised, beta read, revised again, went through an edit, test printed, cover was reworked and the book is ready for print. Long story short: I am aiming for a June 2025 delivery 😊 Das Buch wurde geschrieben, überarbeitet, beta-gelesen, noch einmal überarbeitet, redigiert, testgedruckt, Cover nochmal überarbeitet und ist jetzt fertig für den Druck. Langer Rede kurzer Sinn: Ich strebe eine Auslieferung im Juni 2025 an 😊.
Is it a standalone story/book? Ist es eine eigenständige Geschichte/ein eigenständiges Buch?
Yes! Ja!
What about shipping/VAT? Was ist mit Versand/Mehrwertsteuer?
VAT if applicable will be added and charged in the Pledge Manager, as will shipping for physical rewards. Die Mehrwertsteuer wird, falls sie anfällt, im Pledge Manager hinzugefügt und berechnet, ebenso wie die Versandgebühren für physische Belohnungen.
How will you deliver the book? Wie wird das Buch geliefert?
This project ships worldwide! IMPORTANT NOTE: The pledge prices for this campaign DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING OR VAT, which will be calculated and applied when you fill out the final survey after the campaign. Shipping rates fluctuate without warning. These are estimated shipping costs. There is a chance that shipping costs change between the end of the project and the beginning of fulfillment. Shipping charges will reflect actual shipping calculations at the best rates that include tracking. In some cases, there may be additional customs fees and duties beyond the standard shipping fees. I will ship with accurate customs information to minimize fees, but I cannot guarantee what your country's system may choose to do. Dieses Projekt wird weltweit verschickt! WICHTIGER HINWEIS: Die Preise für diese Kampagne beinhalten KEINE Versandkosten oder Mehrwertsteuer, die berechnet und angewendet wird, wenn du die abschließende Umfrage nach der Kampagne ausfüllst. Die Versandkosten schwanken ohne Vorwarnung. Es handelt sich um geschätzte Versandkosten. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass sich die Versandkosten zwischen dem Ende des Projekts und dem Beginn der Abwicklung ändern. Die Versandkosten spiegeln die tatsächlich berechneten Versandkosten zu den besten Tarifen mit Sendungsverfolgung wider. In einigen Fällen können zusätzliche Zollgebühren und -abgaben anfallen, die über die Standardversandkosten hinausgehen. Ich versende mit genauen Zollinformationen, um die Gebühren zu minimieren, aber ich kann nicht garantieren, was das System Ihres Landes zu tun bereit ist.
