Four steps between a search and a shoot.
Searching and messaging cost nothing. When a creator confirms, you pay 30% into escrow — and the balance only leaves two days after they wrap.

Agree it in writing
Settle the dates, the days and the deliverables in chat. Nobody exchanges a phone number at this stage — type one and it comes out as dots.

Pay 30% into escrow
Not to the creator — into an escrow account at a scheduled bank. That is what locks the dates and opens the masked calling line for both of you.

Shoot, then release
The creator checks in at your address and marks the shoot complete when they wrap. You have 48 hours to raise anything. The balance leaves escrow two days later.

Nobody can touch it while the job is open.
Not the creator, not us. Escrow sits at a scheduled bank under RBI payment aggregator rules.

Questions we actually get.
Do I need a GST number?
No. A PAN and proof your business is real is enough to get verified and start messaging.
When does the creator get paid?
The advance stays in escrow. The balance leaves two days after they mark the shoot complete.
Can I talk to them before paying?
Yes, in chat, as much as you like. Calling opens once the advance is in.
What if I need two days instead of one?
Ask in the thread. They accept, you pay the difference into escrow, the booking updates.
Are the follower counts real?
They are pulled from the creator's own linked account, not typed in by them.
Who owns the photos?
Whatever the contract says. Usage rights are set before the shoot, not argued afterwards.
Still cheaper than one wasted shoot day.
Look for nothing, sign in when you want to message someone, and pay nothing until a booking is confirmed.
