How do I integrate with DriveThruRPG?

Deliver Instant Access Rewards via DriveThruRPG

If you publish on DriveThruRPG, you can connect it to BackerKit and automatically deliver your titles to backers as Instant Access Rewards. When a backer is eligible, the title is dropped straight into their DriveThruRPG library — no manual fulfillment, no codes to hand out.

What you'll need:

• A DriveThruRPG publisher account
• An active BackerKit crowdfunding project
• Your DriveThruRPG Application Key

Step 1: Connect your DriveThruRPG account

1. Go to your project's Settings tab and click Integrations
2. Find the DriveThruRPG section
3. Paste your Application Key into the field and click Verify & Save

Where to find your Application Key: It's in your DriveThruRPG customer account settings. Make sure to toggle on "Distribution"

Once your key is verified, the DriveThruRPG section will show your account and a green Connected status.

Step 2: Add a DriveThruRPG reward to a tier

1. Navigate to your project's Rewards section
2. Open the reward tier you want to add the title to
3. Under Instant Access Rewards, click Add Reward
4. Give the reward a title (this is shown to backers)
5. Select DriveThruRPG as the type
6. Enter your Product ID — the numeric ID from your DriveThruRPG publisher dashboard (e.g. 123456)
7. Add optional instructions for your backers
8. Save

How delivery works

When a backer pledges, follows, or reserves and it's attached to a DriveThruRPG Instant Access Reward, BackerKit automatically grants the title to their DriveThruRPG library, matched by the email on their pledge.

• If the backer doesn't already have a DriveThruRPG account, one is created from their email and DriveThruRPG sends them a confirmation.
• In their BackerKit rewards dashboard, the backer will see a "View in DriveThruRPG library" link once the title has been delivered.
• The title appears in their library at drivethrurpg.com/en/mylibrary.
