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
Was any AI used in this project?
None whatsoever. All art was designed by hand by the artist using Procreate and Adobe Photoshop.
Why is this project limited to the United States and Canada?
Since we are a small, indie team of artists, we're not able to accommodate international shipping and purchases at this time, but we hope that the success of this campaign will change that in the future!
Is Backerkit also being used for pledge management?
Yes.
How will shipping for this campaign be handled?
We will be charging for shipping closer to fulfillment in February 2025, and your standees and stickers will be shipped via USPS in the United States.
I want multiples of the same standee, how do I add that?
You'll be able to get multiples of the same standee in any pledge tier for this campaign, but the easiest way to add more than one is to purchase the Standee Add-On.
Will I be able to adjust my add-ons in the pledge manager after the campaign ends?
Yes! You’ll be able to select additional add-ons post-campaign through the pledge manager!
