How do I deliver an order?

On the order page, upload the completed work (e.g., files, links) and mark it as delivered. The buyer will review and either accept or request revisions.

What if the buyer requests revisions?

Review the revision request on the order page and submit updated work. Most gigs include a set number of revisions (specified in your gig). If you can’t resolve issues, the buyer may open a dispute via PayPal.
