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

Where will the enamel pins be shipped from?

Frogtastic Frogs will be shipped from the Netherlands, in Europe. We will comply to the GPSR rules and be able to send to all EU citizens and outside of Europe.

Which enamel pin will be a special enamel pin?

We hope to try and make the Northern Glass Frog a special enamel pin. The plan is to make it a transparent resin enamel pin with some recessed metal with transparent resin on it. It's a tricky new type of enamel pin for me to design but I'll have help to make sure it'll go well. There are chances that the transparent resin parts might have some bubbles in them, which is the risk with these resin enamel pins, but for backers I'll grade and filter those all out and only send the perfect enamel pins.

What will happen if all goals have been unlocked?

If that great news happens we will celebrate it with some nice pastry and then check to see if we can perhaps unlock some extra designs. I got ideas for board fillers with small leaves and let's be honest, there are still so many frogs and toads to give a spotlight!
