Does backing mean I am obligated to contribute to the document?
Absolutely not. Backing this Kickstarter project is simply an indication that you like the idea. And that you think there is value in open sourcing this document. You are welcome to participate as much or as little as you like. We’re just glad you’re here. Last updated: Fri, Mar 4 2016 1:13 pm EST
Why was your goal only $314?
Two reasons: 1) First and foremost, this is more about gathering people together than it is about raising money. While we greatly appreciate and value all of our awesome backers — and we’ve got some awesome rewards for those levels — we’re really interested in increasing the number of backers. In fact, we think it is totally acceptable to back the project at the very lowest level. So please don’t feel like you’re obligated to contribute at a higher level. If this seems interesting to you or your community, simply kick in a buck and join the community. 2) It’s $314 because we can’t do a decimal place on Kickstarter. So 3.14 wasn’t possible. Which is pi. It’s a pun. That said, you can be guaranteed that we grin like idiots every time someone pledges $3.14. Last updated: Fri, Mar 4 2016 5:58 pm EST
What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
