More than a Pledge Manager

Shipping / Tax / VAT Collection

Our platform offers robust features for creating shipping calculation rules and customizing VAT/Tax based on the specific country and state/province of your backers.

During the checkout process, our system employs these rules to accurately calculate and collect the appropriate amounts for shipping and VAT from your backers.

Additionally, our system is designed to recognize when a verified retailer is from within the EU, possessing a valid EU VAT ID. In such cases, you have the flexibility to choose not to charge VAT fees, offering added convenience and customization options.

Backer Loyalty

For repeat creators, the ability to assign Loyalty Credits to backers of specific pledges in a campaign is a game-changer. Backers can leverage these credits towards future campaigns.

This powerful loyalty mechanic not only fosters a sense of appreciation but significantly boosts the likelihood of having returning backers for your subsequent projects. It's a strategic move that strengthens the bond with your audience and cultivates a community of dedicated supporters.

Verified Retailers

In the Hive Pledge Manager, creators can designate a rewards level as a "Retailer's Pledge." Backers opting for this level are required to undergo Hive's retailer verification process, requiring specific information to confirm their retailer status before proceeding to checkout.

Only after successful verification do they gain access to any retailer discounts set up for the project, enabling them to finalize the checkout process. This streamlined approach ensures retailer benefits are exclusively extended to those who meet the criteria.

Coupons

Within our platform, you have the capability to generate unique coupon codes, offering a high degree of customization. These codes can be tailored to discount an entire pledge level, a specific portion of the pledge, or even exclusively apply to particular add-ons.

This functionality opens the door to effortless implementation of special promotions or giveaways. Simply email the giveaway winner their unique coupon code along with a link to the pledge manager. As they complete the pledge manager, they seamlessly become part of your backer list, ensuring a smooth and integrated process for both you and your backers.

CRM Tools

Throughout your project, staying organized is paramount, and you often need to track various types of information—contacts (manufacturers, designers, illustrators), quotes (fulfillment, freight), invoices (shipping, marketing, manufacturing), files/documents (CE certificates, localization agreements), and more.

Our CRM subsystem simplifies this process by consolidating all this information in one place. With this integrated solution, there's no need to juggle multiple third-party applications. Keep everything organized seamlessly within our platform, ensuring efficient and centralized management of your project-related data.

Hub Integration

Our platform offers the flexibility to assign backers to specific fulfillment centers (hubs). Once backers are allocated, you can effortlessly export the backer list, SKU list, and packing list in the precise format required by the designated hub.

Our platform currently supports export formats for all major hubs, including Happyshops, Green Logistics, Zatu, GamesQuest, QML, Aetherworks, Bridge, Pick & Pack, ShipHero, and VFI. Even if you're working with a hub not listed here, our dedicated team is ready to assist you in obtaining the exact format you need, ensuring a seamless and tailored fulfillment process.
