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 Yuri & Friends 2?
Yuri and Friends 2 is the season of my dinosaur plush series which I originally launched in 2023. They are high quality plush toys, all CE certified and designed by me personally. They have soft fabrics and are cozy to snuggle with, place at a workspace or gift to a dinosaur enthusiast! My goal is to make more dinosaur plushies which are not only high in material quality, but also design. I want to have more species shown that are less popular or known, so that actual dinosaur lovers can find even more joy in them!
When do I choose my plusies?
You can vote your plushies in a survey that´s gonna be sent to you after the campaigns end.
When will my pledge ship?
The plushies of Yuri & Friends 2 are meant to be sent out by November - December 2025. Out of experience, it´s usually going much faster, but to not get anyone sad if the project has a production delay, I rather set this late date.
When will pledge charges be collected?
Pledges will be collected at the successful end of the campaign! If the goal is not met, you will not be charged. You can edit your pledge and payment method at any time on your "Pledges & Surveys" page.
When will shipping charges be collected?
Shipping will be charged after the campaigns successful end. If the campaign is not successful, you won't be charged! Shipping will be charged seperately from the pledge charge.
What if I need to change my shipping address?
If you need to update your address after the campaign ends, but before I lock addresses, you can do so directly via your BackerKit survey. If you need help, or need to update your address after they are locked, please contact me directly at: [email protected]
