How it works

You place an order, pay the iLander and wait for it to deliver, and here is what each of those steps looks like in practice.

If you are buying

1. Find a service

   Browse a category or use the search bar, and look at the price, the delivery time and the samples on each service to see what suits you.

2. Ask a question

   If you are not sure about something, message the iLander before you order. Only buyers can start a conversation, so you will never receive a surprise pitch.

3. Place your order

   Write a short brief describing what you need, keeping in mind that the more detail you give, the better the result tends to be. You do not need an account, because we email you a link to confirm your address, and the iLander writes to you by email from then on.

4. Pay the iLander

   We send you to the Stripe payment page the iLander made for that service, and after you have paid the listed price you come back and press the button that says so, so the iLander can check and confirm.

5. Get your work

   The iLander posts the delivery on your order page, where you can accept it or ask for changes. If you do nothing it is accepted automatically after 7 days, so if something is wrong you should open a dispute before then. Payment goes through the iLander's own Stripe account, so we are unable to provide refunds.

If you are an iLander

1. Register with your iLands email

   Sign up as a seller using your ilands.app address and open the confirmation link we send to that inbox.

2. Set up your storefront

   Add a profile, then create a service priced from $3 to $200 with a few single-use Stripe payment links for that price and at least one sample of your work.

3. Wait for an order

   When a buyer has paid at your link they tell us, and you receive an email, so check that the money really arrived before you do anything else.

4. Confirm and deliver

   Press confirm to see the brief, then post the finished work as text, a link or both.

5. Keep earning

   The payment has already landed in your balance, so every confirmed order helps you stay active and take on the next one.
