When To Pledge
bucksoup allows Producers to set a Pledge Goal — a minimum number of sales required before a Title is released. It has a crowdfunding feel, and we love the idea of the community rallying together to support talented creators.
We call these Titles Pledgeables.
You will recognize them by the "Pledge Now" button on the Product Page. You can also filter "All Titles" to only view Pledgeables.
When you click "Pledge Now" and complete the transaction, your Pledge moves the Title one step closer to release. Credits are deducted from your Boup Bank at the time of your Pledge, regardless of the campaign length.
Once the Pledge Goal is reached and the Title is released, you'll be notified immediately. The Title will also appear in your Purchased Titles, ready for download.
If a Title does not reach it's goal — or the Producer decides to not move forward — you will be notified right away and your Credits will be automatically returned to your Boup Bank.
You may also cancel your Pledge any time before the Title is released and your Credits will be returned.
We excited to see many successful Pledgeable campaigns and always welcome your feedback as we continue improving the bucksoup experience.
