Custom Payment Options

Choose either subscription or milestones; they cannot be combined into the same order. Suggest a payment option based on the buyer’s information:

• Single payment: Use for simple deliveries that can be completed in one step.
• Subscription: Use this option for repeat orders—set a price and delivery schedule that fits the buyer’s needs.
• Milestones: Use for complex projects—the buyer will approve each project step.

In all cases:

• Once you receive all the needed info, disable the Ask for Gig Requirements option. Once the buyer accepts your custom offer, the order starts automatically.
• You can accept custom offers even if your Set your availability status is set to “pause”. Check for any custom offer requests before taking time off.
