Complete Guide to Crowdfunding Fulfillment

What is Crowdfunding Fulfillment?

Crowdfunding fulfillment is the specialized logistics service that handles storage and shipping of rewards to backers who have supported your crowdfunding campaign.

How crowdfunding works:

  1. Campaign launch: You create a campaign on platforms like Kickstarter or Indiegogo

  3. Production: Once funded, you manufacture products

  5. Delivery: Backers receive their rewards

Why specialized fulfillment matters:

  • Crowdfunding rewards ship in concentrated waves (not gradual like e-commerce)
  • Backers expect timely delivery after waiting for production
  • International shipping is common with diverse destinations
  • Various reward tiers require different handling

Key considerations:

  • Geographic location of fulfillment centers
