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 is the difference between the Memopads and the Notepads?
The size! They both have 50 sheets of paper but the notepads are 3x5in while the memopads are smaller 3x3in squares (think a typical sticky note size)
How Do I Choose Which Designs I Want?
Shortly after the campaign has ended (around a week after), a survey will go out. This is where you will choose which specific designs you want. You will not be able to choose item types that have not been unlocked. (This is also where shipping info and fees will come in)
Where Do You Ship?
I ship internationally to anywhere Canada Post will ship (which is most countries). Shipping to the US may be delayed due to the constantly changing tariffs but shipping will still happen.
Will These Be Available Online After The Campaign?
Yes! It sometimes takes awhile before I add things to my online shop, but they will be available at https://www.smolbun.com at an increased price after the campaign.
