If you’re running a Kickstarter campaign and have decided that a pledge manager is right for you, then you have a lot of options. They also take a cut of the funds raised, too, which can be off-putting for creators. In fact, not every backer wants to use a separate system to manage their pledge, even if the system is user-friendly. Now that said, pledge managers are not required to run a crowdfunding campaign. This may sound minor, but it’s actually a huge deal! Without using a pledge manager, many of those tasks would be a lot harder. Then you are asked to pay for shipping, check out related projects, and to answer additional questions. This is all pretty normal and can be done without using a pledge manager. Once you log into the pledge manager, you are asked to fill out a survey with information such as your mailing address. Once the campaign is successfully funded, you receive an email inviting you to access your pledge manager. You’ve pledged to a campaign that uses a pledge manager. (Thus meaning Kickstarter gets a smaller cut of the funds.) Collecting shipping after the campaign.Pledge managers fill service gaps that Kickstarter and similar crowdfunding sites have not addressed.
