Subscriptions for buyers
With subscriptions, you can plan ahead and book repeat orders with sellers you love working with—saving you time in future orders. Working with a seller, who understands both your needs and brand, saves you the hassle of having to place the same order again, and having to send the same requirements every time.
Note: The payment method that will be charged will be the default payment method at the time of purchase and may not necessarily be the original payment method used.
How subscriptions work
Note: Subscriptions are only available in certain subcategories, and to select sellers.
You can work with a seller for up to a 6-month period. Under Choose your plan, choose the subscription period that best suits your needs. If you need more flexibility, you can also ask your seller to create a custom offer on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Sellers can offer discounts on upcoming orders when you subscribe to their Gig. You'll be able to see the discount offered in the Choose your plan section. The discount is applied from the second order onwards.
When using subscriptions, depending on the time period chosen, the same order is automatically billed from your saved payment method of choice. If you need to edit your Gig requirements, you can do so. Sellers are able to charge you for extra requirements on the order page.
Note: Each order is independent and the next one will begin regardless of the previous one's status unless the subscription is canceled.
Subscription eligibility
Only Gigs with packages exceeding $10, and that have a maximum of 30 days delivery, are eligible for subscriptions
Exception: Voice Over Gigs may start their word count at $5.

Cancelation
You can cancel upcoming subscription orders prior to the order start date, however, if an order has already started, the regular cancelation terms apply. As always, you are welcome to rate your seller’s services after each order’s completion.
