How to create ‘Products’ and ‘Add-ons’?

Create a product once, then choose how it is used: inside rewards, as an extra PledgeBox add-on, or both.

1. Enter Product Details

  1. Go to Set Up Products → Products.
  2. Click Add Product.
  3. Select Physical Product or Digital Product.
  4. Enter the name, description and unique SKU.
  5. Add product images. The current screen recommends at least 500 × 500 pixels or a 1:1 ratio.
  6. For physical products, check package weight, size and their displayed units.
  7. Configure variants if the backer must choose options such as size or color.
  8. Click Save & Next when the required details are complete.
Add Product dialog with Physical Product and Digital Product choices outlined in red
Choose the product type. Read the Digital Product eligibility note before continuing.

The current Digital Product dialog describes downloads for Kickstarter backers. Check the digital-product guide before configuring file delivery.

2. Associate rewards

In Associated Rewards, answer Is this product part of any reward?

  • Select Yes and enter the quantity included in each relevant reward.
  • Select No if the product is not included in a reward.

This controls included reward contents. It does not by itself enable extra purchases.

3. Enable PledgeBox add-on purchases

In PledgeBox Add-on Setting, answer Allow backers to purchase this product as an add-on?

  1. Select Yes when backers may buy extras.
  2. Set Add-on Price and check any Retail Price.
  3. Set total availability and the quantity each customer may purchase.
  4. Configure Add-on Shipping Fees.
  5. Select the eligible rewards under Offer to Backers.
  6. Check Custom Price or Late Pledge Price settings if you use them.
  7. Save using the controls shown and preview the result.

The add-on price applies when the backer buys an extra item. Reward shipping is configured on the reward page. The current add-on screen states that add-ons are available only for countries with configured shipping fees when shipping is required.

A product can be included in a reward and also sold as an add-on. Check both settings to avoid missing or duplicate entitlements.
