Find the person. Step into their world.

Craftly brings discovery, independent storefronts and protected project payments together.

For buyers

01

Discover on the hub

Browse the directory or one of six specialty pages. Explore the people behind the work and open a specialist’s storefront.

02

Choose a way to work

On their storefront, buy a listed fixed-price package or send a quote request. For quotes, agree a scope, total price, estimated delivery date and revisions in a private conversation. Quotes are valid for 7 days.

03

Checkout, collaborate & accept

Checkout from the seller’s storefront. The live platform processes the payment through its Stripe account. Collaborate in the order thread, request agreed revisions and accept delivery when ready.

No buyer subscription. No buyer fee. You pay only the listed package or agreed quote.

For independent specialists

Build your storefront on the hub: choose a handle, add your branding, hero, bio and service categories, include at least 3 portfolio items and add fixed-price or quote-based services. Complete Stripe Connect Express business and tax onboarding, then choose your seller plan. Your storefront goes live after onboarding. An admin spot-check earns the Verified badge.

Your storefront is your own branded space. The hub’s directory, category pages and journal help people discover it. Start each paid order within 48 hours, deliver through the project thread and handle the revisions agreed in the package or quote. You remain an independent contractor and are responsible for your own taxes.

Seller plans and commission fund the network. Starter is free with 15% commission, 3 services and 5 portfolio items. Pro is $29/month or $290/year with 5%, up to 15 services, 20 portfolio items and higher rank. Flat is $99/month or $990/year with unlimited services and portfolio, top category placement and a featured slot. Flat’s 0% rate covers the first $10,000 of released value per calendar month, with 3% above.

Commission rules freeze when a payment is made. Cancel through the Stripe Customer Portal; benefits remain until billing period end. The storefront then returns to free-tier limits, ranking and badges. Extra services and portfolio items are hidden, never deleted. New orders revert to 15%; in-flight orders keep their frozen commission. Only the first plan payment is refundable within 14 days; renewals are non-refundable.

All launch storefronts use /s/handle and show Powered by Craftly. Subdomains, custom domains, domain parking and white-label are Phase 2 features. They are not connected in this preview.

Payment protection, explained

“Escrow” describes our protected payment workflow. Stripe is a payment processor, not a licensed escrow provider. A 7-day connected-account payout delay is requested, subject to Stripe eligibility and country rules. The static preview does not collect or transfer money.

In the live service, checkout is processed by Craftly and the seller receives their share through a connected Stripe account. Platform commission is deducted from the seller’s proceeds, not added to the buyer’s price.

When work doesn’t go to plan

Open a dispute before completion. For 7 days after automatic completion, you can also submit a late dispute for a missing deliverable or materially nonconforming work. An administrator reviews it within 5 business days: full refund, partial refund or release to the seller. Approved refunds return to the original payment method within 5-10 business days; bank processing time may vary. If work has not started within 48 hours, request a full refund without a dispute.
