Kickstarter ’s new Pledge Manager is now available to all campaign creators.

The platform is introducing new tools for shipping products, collecting taxes, and managing tariff charges.

Tariff Manager is designed to make it easier for creators to add surcharges to cover additional costs resulting from President Donald Trump 's sweeping tariffs.

Creators will also have access to improved tools for managing data about orders and backers.

Tariff Manager is designed to make it easier for backers to find a resolution to surcharges.

Kickstarter 's Pledge Over Time splits up payments into four equal payments for pledges over $125 without interest.

Another tool, which hasn’t been released and is currently in testing, could make it harder for backers suddenly faced with charges.
