A Short Guide to Ko-fi - Issue #2 ~Commissions~
For those who have never used Ko-fi, or still don't know very well how it works ♡
How to Commission on Ko-fi?
⋆ Once commissions are open, go to the "Commissions" tab in my Ko-fi page:
⋆ There you will see a menu with all the different options listed and the minimum price for each, as well as a description and example images.
The amount of slots available will be on the top right corner:
⋆ Once you chose your desired commission type (flat color, full color, single character or couple, etc) This menu will pop out:
⋆ There you will be required to write down the information about your commission, such as what character(s) do you want and their pose, outfits, etc. (Read more about the Process and Terms)
Another important thing is reference images. You can upload them in the "Add attachment" button.
Since slots are limited, I recommend having this info prepared, so you only have to copy-paste it, and not miss the opportunity because it took you too long to write.
Same thing with reference images. If the upload speed is too slow, you can have your images prepared in Google Drive, a board on Pinterest, etc. and then submit the link to said site.
Just please make sure you don't leave these blank 🙏
⋆ The price stated for each commission type is the minimum (portrait/head-shot), so if you want a half-body or full-body commission, you need to select the corresponding Add-ons, which will have an extra price.
⋆ When you fill in all the information, the next step is to write how much you'll pay. You can write the suggested price of your commission, or leave an additional tip (not mandatory but very much appreciated ^^)
⋆ When you click "next", the Terms menu will appear:
Please make sure you have actually read them before agreeing. All the process, terms and "do's and don't's" are listed here.
⋆ Last thing would be "Go to Payment":
If you have an account on Ko-fi (or want to create one) it would be the best to log in before filling the form, that way you don't lose time. If you don't have an account it's ok, you can still pay as a "guest". Write your email and nickname (it would be the best if you wrote your social media username here).
In this stage you can apply a discount code, or if you're a member, the corresponding discount available for your tier will be applied automatically (you need to be logged in your account for this to happen).
Then select your preferred payment method, confirm the payment, and that's it!
I will receive an email confirming the commisison (and so will you) and later I'll contact you for further discussion, revisions or doubts.
Thanks for reading and I hope this was helpful!
