Keep the casual request, then move scope, price, files, edits, and usage into one shared place.
For creators taking custom work through DMs
Turn messy commission DMs into approved, funded, deliverable orders without making custom work feel corporate.
requestscopefunddeliver
Buyers approve the deliverables, price, timeline, edit rounds, and usage before you begin.
The request, approvals, payment status, revision notes, and final files live with the order.
What breaks
The first message is easy. Everything after it gets messy.
Commission work usually starts in the right place: a DM, a Discord thread, a referral, or a stream chat. The trouble starts when that casual request has to become scope, price, payment, revisions, files, and rights.
Buyers forget key details
References, deadlines, file needs, usage, and budget often show up late, after you have already quoted.
Starting work feels risky
You want commitment before drawing, designing, or animating. Buyers want to know what happens after they pay.
Small edits turn into new work
Everyone thinks the change is simple until revisions, extras, and deadlines were never agreed on clearly.
Usage gets awkward later
Streaming, merch, source files, attribution, exclusivity, and AI expectations should be clear before delivery.
How Slatero helps
One shared order from first request to final delivery.
Slatero does not ask buyers to stop using DMs, Discord, or referral links. It gives serious requests a shared place to land, so buyers can see what they agreed to, creators know when work is ready to start, and questions later point back to one record.

Early access FAQ
Clear answers for creators shaping the workflow.
Early access is for creators who want Slatero to match how commission work really moves from buyer request to final approval.
What does Slatero help with?
Slatero helps creators turn informal buyer requests into clearer orders with scope, price, payment status, revisions, files, and usage rights in one place.
Who gets early access first?
Priority goes to creators already taking custom digital work through DMs, Discord, social posts, referrals, or creator communities.
Will Slatero replace DMs?
No. Buyers can still start wherever they already talk to you. Slatero is intended to take over once the request needs scope, price, terms, payment status, revisions, and delivery.
Will buyers need accounts?
The product direction is to keep buyer friction low. The exact account model is being shaped with creator feedback.
How will payments work?
Payment flow is still being designed. The goal is to make funding status, fees, payout timing, and refund expectations clear before creators start work.
Can creators control terms and usage rights?
Yes. Slatero is being designed around creator-defined scope, edit rounds, file packages, attribution, commercial use, source files, and other rights language.
What kinds of work fit best?
Slatero is starting with social-first digital creators who already get inbound commission requests, especially emote and badge artists, stream overlay designers, VTuber and PNGtuber asset creators, character artists, illustrators, thumbnail and social graphics designers, and simple creator brand-kit designers.
