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

2.79 by 3.24 inches!
What’s the material?
Weather resistant and fade resistant die-cut vinyl with a shimmer holographic finish!
What’s the supplier?
StickerNinja is my supplier of choice, small business supporting small business!
What’s the timeline?
Within 3-5 days of a funded campaign completion, I will place the order with StickerNinja. Their processing time with the existing proof is approximately 7-10 business days. Once I receive and quality check the order, processing time will depend on the number of backers, but should be about a week. Then the only waiting time is USPS letter delivery!
What sort of bird is it?
It’s a wren! The druids’ bird, the king of birds, and my chosen name, this little bird makes this design very personal and therapeutic, representing myself in a way with the kintsugi motif of the broken pieces being worth repairing and, in fact, made even more beautiful with the gold! The gold on this design shimmers beautifully, catching the light and being a bright little reminder of the work we do to heal ourselves and make something even better of the whole.
What’s the budget?
The ask amount covers the cost of a bulk order of stickers, stamps, envelopes, and cards for shipping for a minimum order. Greater amounts raised will allow me to order more stickers! Extras will be made available through my Kofi shop for $6, so backing early is your best deal!
