What our beta creators have to say:
“My backers found it very easy to navigate, and it took me less time to set up than Pledgebox or Backerkit.
I was dreading shipping costs, but it was actually super easy. The tier and add-on setup is great, and I love seeing how many backers from each region got each item. And the duplicate shipping button? Brilliant. It saved me so much time."

“Do you know how soon the pledge manager will be released from beta? I'd LOVE to use this again on my upcoming projects later this year. Keep up the amazing work!”

"I really liked that with the pledge manager, I could keep it all in one place and not need to go off-site to handle shipping after the campaign."
