Can I back a Kickstarter project from outside the United States?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, individuals from outside the United States can certainly back Kickstarter projects. Kickstarter operates globally, allowing backers from many different countries to support projects regardless of the creator's location. When a campaign is launched, creators can choose to accept backers from specific countries, which often includes a wide range of options beyond the United States. To back a project, an international backer will generally need a credit or debit card that is accepted by Kickstarter, and they must also ensure that they can cover any potential shipping costs associated with their rewards if applicable. It is important for backers to check the campaign details for any restrictions or additional fees that may apply to their specific region. For the most accurate information, it is best for backers to review the details directly on the Kickstarter project page or visit the Kickstarter website for further guidance.
