My Project will be listed really soon into the Technology/Hardware section, During my pre-lunch I had encounter many people requesting me a way to order multiple of the adapter. Based on Kickstarter guidelines for hardware projects, only single servings of the project's can be offer as a rewards.
I've also noticed that many hardware project encounter the same issue, a few minutes browsing around their comment and you see a lot of requests for multiples rewards, some Project owner had opted for asking people just to double their pledge and that way they can order multiples, however this required additional logistic to keep track of the pledges.
My question is, what do you guys think is the best way to do it? what would be consider best practice?
Single servings
Product Design and Hardware projects can only offer one reward per pledge. Offering multiple quantities can imply that rewards are shrink-wrapped and ready to ship when they’re not. With some projects, we'll make exceptions for what we consider sensible sets — things like salt and pepper shakers, notebooks, building blocks, etc.
ALSO, it seen like Kickstarter really turn the other way on some projects.
