It turns out the Pay Over Time feature wasn’t enabled like I thought, but it’s now up and ready to go! Let’s quickly cover how it works:
The Pay Over Time option lets you pay off pledges over $150 across 4 months. It is handled directly by Backerkit without any third-party loan companies!
If you’ve wanted to increase your pledge above $150 but could’t do so, now you can choose to pay over time! To set it up, simply manage your pledge and go through checkout again. If the option is available for your pledge, here’s what your checkout should look like:
As shown above, here’s what you agree to when you choose to use Pay Over Time:
I understand my rewards will not qualify for shipment until I have paid in full.
I understand that any partial payments made are not eligible for a refund.
I understand that I will not be able to access the pledge manager survey until after I have paid in full.
I wanted to make this feature available to those who need it, so please use it if it helps!
That said, if you’re able to pay your pledge in full, it would be a huge help to both of us! Paying in full gives you immediate access to the survey, which lets you add more plushies, outfits, stickers, and other goodies! The survey also helps me start estimating my bulk order and planning fulfillment based on your choices.
Another trick to split payments without using Pay Over Time is to pay your pledge and current add-ons tonight and then select any extra add-ons in the survey to pay for later. This is my preferred way, but the choice is yours!
This feature is new, so please let me know if you are having any trouble! ❤️ Sorry for the last-minute update, but I hope it’s still helpful!
