How to set up a FronTier - Basics

 

Please give your Creator Relations Representative at least 1 month notice to launch your FronTier. If you do not give enough notice it may cause delays for your project, as we have to review and schedule each FronTier.

The FronTier tool is used specifically for brand-new product releases, if you have previously launched this before on Kickstarter, you will not be able to use FronTiers. You are also unable to run both a Kickstarter campaign alongside a FrontTier simultaneously. You may however use our Pledge Manager services to distribute your rewards.


To learn about setting up the basics for your FronTier, you can watch this short video or read the article below.
