Crowdfunding fulfillment prepares and sends campaign rewards to backers using the approved reward configurations, recipient data and release plan. It can involve concentrated waves and multiple destinations.

CROWDFUNDING FULFILLMENT IN PRACTICE

  1. Map the rewardsTranslate tiers and add-ons into fulfillable items.
  2. Validate the release fileReconcile recipients, quantities and authorization.
  3. Execute in wavesConfirm capacity, tracking and exceptions.

Use the agreed units, actual records and approved procedures for your operation.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

100 backers. More than 100 item picks.

A hypothetical campaign has 60 one-unit rewards and 40 three-unit rewards. That requires 180 units before add-ons or exceptions. Staffing and stock planning from the backer count alone would understate the picking work.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR QUOTE

Agree the requirement before comparing quotes

Use the actual shipment, stock and service requirements. Record the billing unit, included work and responsibility for exceptions.

Put this term to work. Connect this step to the wider workflow with the eCommerce fulfillment guide, then use the 3PL selection guide to test the proposed service.
