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
Will the pins and colors be as pictured?
Yes and no. Since I have poor lighting for the smartphone photo, not all the colors came out right no matter how hard I tried. But I can assure you that all the enamel is very high quality and they are much more beautiful in person. I will also add that I wear my own products on my jacket.
Shipping fees for medium and above are not deducted?
Yes, but initial funding levels will be charged ($10) for after the campaign during mailings and surveys.
Where is the manufacturing facility located?
All pins are manufactured in Kyiv (Ukraine).
Will there be new designs?
Yes. I set this level of reward as I would like to start something that is really different, important other than my tastes
Is social media active?
Not all of them. I can't because of my workload to update Instagram, for example. Shop site is a problem. So far, BlueSky and Tumblr are active.
What will be on the postcards?
A funny story with reality (owl attribution) and fiction. Each one has a unique pin number from the series on it. I'll show them off later.
