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
How do I change my pledge?
You can edit your pledge any time during the campaign! Just look for the button at the top of the page that says "โ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐'๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐. ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ ยป". (๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฆ: you might have to click to another section of the campaign like "Story", "Add Ons" or "Community" to see this button at the top). If you simply want to add more item(s) to your pledge, you can also use the Add-Ons feature to get individuals of whatever you'd like!
Can I get multiples of the same pin design?
Of course! You can either use the Add-Ons feature to get duplicates of your choice, or select a multiple-pin pledge tier. Either way, you will specify which designs you want in the post-campaign survey.
How long will it take to receive my pin(s)?
You can refer to the โฆ ๐๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด & ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ โฆ section under the "Story" tab of this campaign for the full breakdown, but I aim to have all rewards shipped to you between JulyโSeptember 2024. If anything changes due to unforeseen delays, you'll be the first to know via the Project Updates.
