How deals work
How offers become orders, when money is charged, and why musicians and creators have two separate stages.
Offers: agree before starting work
An offer helps you agree on the track, format, number of videos, price, and deadline. A musician can send an offer to a creator, and a creator can respond to a public track. During this stage, both sides can clarify the brief in chat, propose different terms, accept, or decline.

Sending an offer does not itself pay for an order. Acceptance can, however, trigger immediate payment from the musician’s balance. Send terms you are ready to honor and check them before accepting.
Orders: payment, work, and delivery
An accepted offer becomes an order. The order records the agreed terms and brings payment, video delivery, and review together. This keeps ongoing discussions separate from work that is ready to begin.
For payments through IWBL, the system checks the musician’s balance when the offer is accepted. If it is sufficient, the amount is charged automatically, the order enters progress, and the delivery period starts. Otherwise, the order waits for payment. Creators should start after payment is confirmed and the order enters progress.
Why this helps musicians
You can approach several suitable creators in parallel, discuss ideas and terms, and manage confirmed work separately. You do not need to wait for one person’s reply before contacting the next.
Offers show ongoing negotiations. Orders show what needs payment, which videos are being made, and which results need review. Chat keeps the agreement in context. Accepted offers can be paid automatically, so account for the total budget of your open offers.
Why this helps creators
You see the brief and price before filming. If the terms do not work for you, discuss a different amount, deadline, or scope. Accepting an offer confirms agreement to its specific terms.
The order status tells you when to start, where to submit the video, and when to expect review. An order waiting for payment is not yet paid. Submit the result through the order and follow the musician’s response.
Example: 100 offers and a budget for 5 videos
Suppose a musician sends 100 suitable creators an offer of $20 for one video and has $100 on their balance. With payment through IWBL, that covers five such orders if there are no other charges. As offers are accepted, the system pays for orders while the balance is sufficient. Further accepted offers create orders waiting for payment.
This is a budget example, not a separate “first five only” mode. A $200 balance would cover ten such orders. Adding funds increases the amount available for subsequent acceptances. Different prices and other orders also affect the outcome.
Once you have enough creators, cancel the remaining open offers and resolve unwanted orders awaiting payment using the available actions. Let creators know that recruitment for the track has closed. Already paid orders have separate cancellation terms.
How to finish a deal
The creator completes the agreed work and submits the video through the order. The musician reviews it against the agreed terms and uses the available action to accept the work or request justified revisions. Discuss changes to the brief and deadline in chat and record them using the available order actions.
This article describes payments through IWBL. If a particular deal uses direct payment outside the platform, the transfer and confirmation process differs. Always check the payment method in the deal terms.
Where to start
For musicians: choose suitable creators or publish a track for responses, set clear terms, and monitor your balance. For creators: explore public tracks, suggest a specific idea, and check payment before starting work.
