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
What happens if the funding goals are not reached? But we Back a full set, or more than goals are reached?
If You back the full set of plushies, or back a set that not all designs are available, then your funding will be refunded. Or you can choose multiple designs instead. We will come to a resolution for both parties to be satisfied!
Can you get the original salmon?
Yes! They are part of the main goal of $5,000.
Can you get multiple of the same plush design?
Yes! You can get as many as you want per each design. Want 5 catfish? SURE! Want 100 alligator gar or salmon? You bet!! (Ask before doing a backing over 20 total plush. As i can create a special tier with discount for larger backing. )
What happens if the campaign fails?
Unfortunately if we do not hit any of the goals, then funding will not be achieved. And there will be no restock of salmon plush again in the future. This is a very large undertaking that I have to crowdfund to achieve, if we cant then it will not be doable. So please consider sharing this if you cant back it!
How do I add a community voted critter to my pledge?!
So you wanna add a community voted critter to your pledge? It’s easy to do!! Simply go to the add on section and select a single plush option, or however many you want, and update your pledge! When surveys go out you’ll be able to select which designs you want
