Our mission

Making creative work effortless for everyone involved.

Another for file delivery

Another for portfolios

OneGuild replaces all of it

For creators

Manage bookings, communicate with clients, deliver files, and get paid automatically — no invoicing tools, no payment apps, no chaos.

For everyone

Reviews, messaging, escrow payments, and calendar sync built in. One platform that handles every step of the creative workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How does payment work? Is it safe?
When you confirm a booking, your payment is held securely in escrow by Stripe — one of the world's most trusted payment processors. Funds are never released to the creator until they deliver your files. You're fully protected until the job is done.
When does the creator get paid?
Creators receive their earnings automatically the moment they mark delivery complete. Funds are transferred directly to their connected bank account via Stripe — no waiting, no chasing invoices, no manual steps.
How are creators vetted? Can anyone join?
Every creator goes through an application and review process before appearing on OneGuild. We review their portfolio, category, and profile to ensure they meet our standards. Not everyone who applies gets approved — quality is the priority.
What's the platform fee and who pays it?
The platform fee is already embedded in the creator's listed price — clients pay exactly what they see, no surprise charges at checkout. The fee is 9% for bookings up to $500, 8% for $501–$1,500, and 7% for $1,500+.
How do I communicate with my creator or client?
OneGuild has built-in messaging so everything stays in one place. No need to exchange phone numbers or personal emails — just open the conversation directly from your booking page.
What file types can creators deliver?
Creators can upload photos (JPG, PNG, and more) and videos (MP4, MOV, and more) directly through the platform. Clients can preview everything in their booking and download it all as a single zip file.
Can I cancel a booking after paying?
Yes — if the creator has a cancellation policy set on their profile, you can cancel within that window (e.g. 3 days before the event) for a full refund. The refund is processed automatically and typically appears within 3–5 business days depending on your bank. Outside the cancellation window, refunds are not available, so we strongly encourage reaching out to the creator via messages first — most situations can be resolved with a quick conversation.
Can I reschedule a booking?
Clients can submit one reschedule request per booking, as long as it's within the creator's cancellation window. Before submitting, we highly recommend messaging the creator first to agree on a new date — this makes approval much faster and avoids unnecessary back-and-forth. Creators can also initiate a reschedule request at any time, which the client then approves or declines.
What if a creator cancels on me?
If a creator cancels a paid booking, you'll receive a full refund automatically — no action needed on your part. You'll be notified by email and in-app, and the refund typically arrives within 3–5 business days. We encourage creators to use the reschedule feature instead of cancelling whenever possible.
Why does OneGuild emphasize messaging before cancelling or rescheduling?
Most scheduling conflicts can be solved with a quick message. Cancelling a booking is irreversible and can leave both parties scrambling — a reschedule request is almost always the better option. OneGuild's built-in messaging is right there on every booking page, so there's no reason not to reach out first.
Is OneGuild available in my city?
OneGuild is currently available across the US. Creators set their location on their profile, so you can search by city or state to find someone near you. We're growing — more markets coming soon.
