How does funding work on Kickstarter?

Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing. This means that unless a campaign reaches its funding goal, backers are not charged for a pledge and creators receive no funds. Consequently, setting the right funding goal is critical for a successful campaign and a successful creative project.

How much does it cost to pledge on Kickstarter?

If you choose to offer a smaller pledge option (all those thank you cards and sticker packs) Kickstarter has a different “micro pledge” fee. Pledges under $10 have a single cut of 5% but a lower per pledge fee of $0.05. And remember, if you don’t reach your funding goals there are no fees.
