Project Update: 📢 Important Payment Update for Backers
Hey Wanderers quick update about the campaign.
Right now, 32 backers have payments that didn’t go through, totaling $4,815. This is completely normal for crowdfunding, and BackerKit has a built‑in process to help anyone with a failed payment get things sorted if they want to keep their pledge.
Here’s how BackerKit handles it:
- Backers have 14 days after the campaign ends to update their payment information.
- If the payment isn’t fixed within those 14 days, their pledge will temporarily show as $0 in the Pledge Manager.
- Their pledge items and add‑ons will still be there, just marked as a balance owed.
- They will still receive their survey, and they’ll have the chance to update their payment and reinstate their pledge.
- Once a backer updates their payment info, BackerKit re‑charges them immediately.
- If they don’t update it, BackerKit will automatically retry on Day 7 and Day 14.
This information comes directly from BackerKit’s payment policy nothing unusual, just part of the normal post‑campaign workflow.
I’ll continue posting updates as usual with production progress, surveys, timelines, and everything happening behind the scenes. Just wanted to give everyone a heads‑up so there are no surprises as BackerKit processes payments over the next two weeks.
