“First of all, thank you so much for making Pledge Over Time available to Kickstarter backers and to my campaign. We've received a good number of pledges we would not have otherwise received because of your new payment option.”

"I know this will make a difference for our backers. We spent a lot of time visiting beekeeping clubs in our part of Australia, and while our pricing was validated as fair, some members said they’d struggle to pay the full amount up front."
