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
How long is this campaign?
It will last for about a month! Plenty of time to gather crowdfunding and unlocking stretch goals!
Is this open to international people?
Yes! but just be warned that you will be responsible for all VAT and custom fees!
The item I want isn't unlocked yet. Should I wait to pledge until it does?
I highly suggest pledging anyways even if the item that is not unlocked isn't available yet. The more pledges, the faster we can unlock these goals. If you pledge and we are getting closer to the end of the campaign and you see the item you want is not unlocked then you are welcome to cancel your pledge!
Am I getting charged right away?
Nope! you will get charged once the campaign is over which will be in a month and you will only get charged if we meet our funding goal. If we do not meet funding goal then you won't be charged
How do I choose which color/variation I want?
Once the campaign is over I will be sending out surveys asking you which items you would like! I will also ask for your shipping information!
