  3. Feedback from previous Buyers, if there’s any

Once you’ve reviewed the job, tap the Order Now button to buy the job.

TIP: If you want to upgrade your order, tap on “Upgrade your Order!” then check off the add-ons you want to grab. You can also choose to buy multiple orders by tapping on the dropdown beside “, please”.

Now when you’re at the checkout area, pay for the job through Store Credits (you can buy credits via bank deposit), credit card, or PayPal.

Please read our Buyer and Seller Protection policy to learn why buyers need to pay upfront for jobs.
