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
Can i add items to my pledge after the project ends?
Absolutely! When the pledge manager goes out after the campaign ends, you'll be able to add any items you'd like to your pledge! Whether you like to spread out your spending or just miss a pin you really like during the project, you'll be able to grab it later!
Are you gonna add any of your other items to the pledge manager?
Yes! I will have a selection of romance/smut themed items in the pledge manager, and you'll be able to add them to your pledge after the campaign ends!
What happens if we fall under the goal due to cancelled pledges?
This is a very real issue with some projects, and why its so important to have your help in sharing the project. If we fall below the goal after we unlock a design, the design will be relocked. Crossing fingers it doesn't happen!
I dont really have the money to pledge, but i really like your art, is there any way i can help?
Absolutely! Sharing the project and my art is the best way to help the project if you cant or dont want to pledge for any reason! Most social media is very against self-promotion, and it's really hard to get eyes on a project. I really appreciate all your help bringing this project to life <3
Do you ship to the EU?
Yes! I'm Portuguese, so it's really important to me to be able to offer shipping to the EU. You can pledge knowing your pins will be shipped to you!
