For designers
How is this different from booking through Instagram DMs?
Instead of chasing deposits and details through DMs, every Cultivé booking comes with your own portfolio page, verified reviews and milestone payments: funds are secured before you start and released at each milestone you complete.
How and when do I get paid?
Through milestone payments, with weekly payouts via Stripe every Friday.
Is it free to join?
Yes. There's an 8% fee on completed bookings during launch.
What happens if there's a dispute over a milestone?
The client approves each milestone before payment is released. If there's a disagreement, the Cultivé team reviews the agreed brief, the work and your messages, and helps both sides reach a resolution before the next payment goes out.
