Using the New Kickstarter Add-On Shop

*Note: These instructions are for those who have already pledged and want to add further items to their tier.

Recently, Kickstarter activated a new add-on shop feature. It used to be that creators sort of did a workaround to make their own, but now it’s official and easier to add things with a click of the mouse and no mathematical gymnastics and hoping you added up everything correctly.

The downside? If you’re used to the old way, like I was, it’s a little wonky to figure out how to add additional items after you’ve pledged. Since this can be a common occurrence as new items unlock in a campaign, I’m writing a step by step guide.

  1. Log into your account and find the Kickstarter project you want to update your pledge on. At the top there should be 'manage pledge'. Click that and then 'change pledge'.

  2. Your original pledge tier will be highlighted.

    • If you want to change your pledge tier either to a higher one or a lower level, this is where you would do it and then click ‘pledge’.

    • If you don't want to change your current tier, just click 'pledge' on the highlighted box to keep your current level.

  3. The next screen will be the Add-on Shop.

  4. If you have previous add-ons already, they will already be marked off on this screen and you can then add additional items like the more pins.

  5. Click 'continue' when done.

  6. You will then see a screen that shows your pledge tier and the add-ons. It will also show your new pledge total and the previous pledge amount.

  7. If everything is ok, click 'confirm'.

You should be all set then! I hope this helps!
