About Kickstarter

Kickstarter is a US-based crowdfunding platform founded in late April 2009. It operates in the software industry and e-commerce, with its headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. The official site is kickstarter.com.
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform where creators raise money for projects and backers pledge support. When something goes wrong, it usually shows up as slow project pages, failed pledges, or login trouble. This status page tracks reported issues across the website, apps, payments, and account access so you can tell quickly whether a problem is on Kickstarter's side or yours.
Kickstarter lets people fund creative projects through pledges from the public. The service covers project browsing, campaign management for creators, checkout for backers, and account sign-in across the website and mobile apps. Most reported problems fall into a few groups: checkout errors during pledge attempts, campaigns not updating for creators, pages loading slowly or partially, and login failures. Heavy traffic around a popular project's final hours can make things feel sluggish even without a full outage. Before reporting an issue, try refreshing the page or restarting the app. Check that your payment card is valid and has funds available, since most failed pledges come from the card issuer rather than Kickstarter itself. Clearing your browser cache or trying a different device also rules out local causes. If payments are involved, confirm with your bank before assuming the platform is down.

Questions

Is Kickstarter down right now?

According to reports on this page, Kickstarter looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for Kickstarter yet.

Why did my pledge fail?

Most failed pledges come from the payment card being declined, not from Kickstarter. Check that your card is active, has sufficient funds, and allows online transactions. Your bank can confirm the exact reason for the decline.

I can't sign in to my account. What should I try?

First use the password reset link and check your spam folder for the email. If the reset email never arrives, try a different browser or the mobile app. Persistent login errors after a password reset may indicate an account or service issue on Kickstarter's side.
