What we do

Tell us what you need. We'll handle the how.

Whether you have specific requirements or just know the experience you want to create, we'll work with you to find the best way to make it happen.

What your campaign promised

Accurate, organized fulfillment data

Dozens of overlapping campaign promises: reward levels, early-bird bonuses, stretch goals, add-ons, digital codes, regional shipping, multiple warehouses, taxes, upgrades, late pledges, retailer pricing and more.

What full-service looks like

From setup through fulfillment, we're with you.

  1. We learn your campaign

    Using what you've already published, we take the time to understand your rewards, stretch goals, special offers, shipping promises, tax requirements, fulfillment plans, exceptions, and edge cases.

  2. We build it

    You'll have a dedicated configuration expert who will tailor your project's rewards, add-ons, upgrades, shipping, taxes, digital fulfillment, and special logic around a smooth, premium backer experience designed to support both pledge completion and additional purchases. And we take 0% of the additional revenue you generate.

  3. We put it to the test

    Our team tests your configuration first, then your team takes it through a second round. Want an extra layer of confidence? You can invite a small group of backers to smoke test the experience before opening it to everyone.

  4. We support it

    Your backers get ongoing support without adding another service burden to your team, while you have direct support when you need it, too.

  5. We get you the data

    You can export your data anytime, but our service doesn't stop there. The same expert who configured your setup understands how it all fits together and builds reporting around exactly what you need, as often as you need it.

You focus on what you do best.

With pledge management in our hands, you're free to focus where you're needed most, whether that's your community, manufacturing, fulfillment, a previous campaign, or whatever comes next.

Simple, predictable pricing

“I've been working with [PledgeManager] since 2016. They have done nothing but get even better every year, which is insane because they were already fantastic to begin with. Every feedback I've had, they've taken. Every promise they've made, they have fulfilled - and then some! I cannot hype PledgeManager more. They are amazing to work with.”
