Kickstarter has introduced a new feature to notify backers when a project has encountered significant fulfillment failures or has violated the platform’s rules. This update aims to enhance transparency and build trust within the crowdfunding community by keeping backers informed about the status of projects they have supported. Notifications will include details on how Kickstarter is addressing the issue, such as restricting the creator from launching future projects.

Additionally, Kickstarter has launched the “Pledge Over Time” feature, allowing backers to split their pledges into four equal payments. This flexible payment option is designed to make it easier for backers to support projects by reducing the upfront cost. Payments are collected automatically every two weeks, providing backers with a more manageable way to fund creative ideas. This feature is expected to encourage more backers to participate in campaigns and support ambitious projects.
