Indiegogo Pledge Manager is a post-campaign tool that allows creators to finalize orders, collect shipping details, charge for shipping/taxes, and accept “late pledges” from new backers after the initial fundraising period ends. It acts as a bridge between funding and fulfillment, allowing backers to customize their rewards and creators to manage logistics.
“Dear Backer, Ran: Ran: Revenge of the Warrior’s Indiegogo campaign has entered the ‘Pledge manager’ stage, where shipping addresses are confirmed and shipping charges are applied.” Informed Crusade’s Deborah Tucci. “Please check your emails!! If you have any questions about this stage, please email me at debtucci@optonline.net. Remember, your pledge is not complete until shipping charges are paid. The campaign will be closing soon. If you haven’t pledged yet, don’t miss out!”
REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR EMAILS: WE CANNOT FULFILL YOUR ORDER WITH OUT YOUR APPROVAL.
