Congratulations on finding a project that you’d like to support!
Before you start, make sure that you’re logged into a Kickstarter account on the app. Then, to pledge to a project, simply follow the steps below.
To pledge on iOS:
- Go to the project you’d like to support, tap the “Back this project” button on the page and scroll across to see all of the available reward tiers.
- If you don't wish to receive a reward but still want to support the project, you can select the "Pledge without a reward" tier and enter your desired pledge amount.
- Select the reward you're interested in and if it involves shipping, be sure to choose the appropriate country from the drop-down menu.
- For rewards marked as in-person local receipt, you will see the location listed with the reward.
- When a reward is digital there will be no shipping option.
- If there are add-on rewards available, you’ll have the option to add these on the next page. To continue without adding anything here, simply tap the “Skip add-ons” button.
- You can also add some bonus support, if you’d like, by tapping the “+” and “-” buttons.
- Next, you can view a summary of your pledge before heading to checkout.
- Confirm that everything is correct and, when ready, enter your payment details and tap the “Pledge” button to complete. Alternatively, you can tap the “Pay” button to pledge using Apple Pay*.
*We do not currently support “Apple Pay Later”.
