4. Set your communication preferences

These preferences help freelancers know how and when to reach you.

  • When do you prefer to communicate with freelancers?: Let freelancers know your preferred communication times so they can respond to you when you're most likely to be available.
  • Which languages do you speak?: List all the languages you speak and how you prefer to communicate with them (messages only, video calls, or both).

How do I edit the information on my profile?

To edit your profile, go to your profile picture > Profile and click on the edit button of the section of your profile you wish to edit. You can also click on the Public view button to see how others view your profile.

About your account location

Your account's location is automatically set based on the country where you register. This is displayed on your profile for transparency and helps other users understand potential language and time zone differences. Fiverr also uses this information to comply with local tax regulations.

What if my account location is incorrect?

If your account location is incorrect, you can contact Customer Support to request a change. You may be required to provide proof of residency.
