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
Do I have to pay for everything now?
Nope! You can pledge for as much or as little as you want until the very end of the funding section of the campaign.
What if I want more than one additional pin as one of my add-ons?
You can add as many additional pins as you would like! You will be able to choose which pins and how many of specific pins once you receive your survey.
Will I be able to choose anything for my custom pin design?
There are somethings that we here at Tai Toon Studios are not allowed to produce/ manufacture. These are included but not limited to: Copyrighted Characters, Businesses, and Logos Characters that you do not own the rights to/ ownership of Any Religious Symbols Any Political Symbols Any Hate or Derogatory Symbols Anything Not Safe For Work Due to the nature of manufacturing, any overly detailed designs will be simplified through communication with you.
Can I just get one copy of my Custom Pin for a lower price?
Unfortunately no. My manufacturer requires a minimum of 50 copies of a pin per order.
How can I order more than 50 copies of my Custom Pin?
I will be open for custom pin commissions in late October after all of the campaign deliveries are completed. At that point you can reach out to me and you can have a reorder of your custom done at a discounted price depending on the quantity OR if you would like to go with your own pin manufacturer, we can discuss the purchasing of commercial rights. Please note that you cannot produce any additional products for profit using the art that we provide without purchasing commercial rights.
I don't want to pledge for a pin, but I want the Add-Ons. What can I do?
We have made the Sticker Sheet Level our non pin add-on tier. You can pledge for the sticker sheet and choose any additional add-on options.
