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 choose which character I want?
Once the project is over, a survey will be sent out to you to pick your desired character(s)! This goes for all rewards!
I want to change my mind about my pledge.
Absolutely you can! You can change it as many times as you like, whether it's to get more or less in your rewards, that's up to you! It's not set in stone until the campaign is over! So pick and choose as many times as you need to!
I want to help, but I can't pledge.
That's alright, there are other ways you can help out the campaign without pledging! Share with your friends and tell others that we exist! It's the thought that counts!
Will I still be charged if the campaign isn't successful?
Nope! If the project isn't fully funded by the end of the 30 days, you will NOT be charged if the campaign is not successful.
Will I be charged right when I pledge?
No. You place a pledge to commit to pay at the end of the campaign. If the campaign is not successful, you will not be charged. But if it is (hopefully!) it will be charged at the end of the 30 days!
