Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about commissioning creative work

Creating an account and browsing services on Commissly is completely free. When you commission a project, we add a small service fee to the creator's quote (typically 10-15% depending on the project size) to cover platform maintenance and customer support.

Most projects include revision rounds where you can request changes. If you're still not satisfied after revisions, our dispute resolution team will review the case and may offer solutions such as partial refunds or connecting you with another creator. We always aim for a fair resolution for both parties.

To join as a creator, register for an account and select "Creator" as your account type. You'll need to complete your profile with portfolio samples, service descriptions, and pricing information. Our team will review your application, and once approved, your services will be visible in our marketplace.

Copyright arrangements are specified in each service listing and can be further customized during the commissioning process. Typically, clients receive usage rights while creators retain copyright unless a full copyright transfer is explicitly included in the agreement. We encourage clear communication about intellectual property expectations before starting any project.

Project timelines vary widely depending on the type and complexity of work. Simple designs might take a few days, while complex illustrations or animations could take several weeks. Each creator sets their own estimated delivery timeframes, which you can see before commissioning. You can also discuss specific deadlines during the request process.
