Simple, upfront and protected
No subscriptions and no sign-up fees. Creators set their own prices, and every payment is held in escrow until the brand approves the work.

Approval and auto-approve
After delivery, the brand approves, asks for the free revision or opens a dispute. If nothing happens within 72 hours, the order is approved automatically.
Disputes and refunds
A Varanda admin decides: release to the creator, a partial refund or a full refund. Partial refunds are proportional: the fees shrink with the amount refunded.
Currencies
Prices and checkout are in naira today; USD and GBP pricing for diaspora and international brands is coming soon. Diaspora creators can already choose USD payouts, sent by our payment team.
