DM negotiations are killing your commission pipeline
Send one link with your illustration packages. Clients pick a tier, approve the scope, and pay upfront -- so you spend time drawing, not haggling.

Sound familiar?
Instagram DMs are a terrible way to sell commissions
Someone DMs 'how much for a character illustration?' You explain your process, share pricing, answer 15 follow-up questions, and they say 'I'll think about it.' You never hear from them again.
Clients expect unlimited changes to 'their' artwork
You deliver the illustration. They want the hair different, the background changed, and the pose adjusted. Each change takes an hour. You quoted for the piece, not for an endless revision loop.
Getting paid for creative work feels like begging
You finish the commission, send the low-res preview, and ask for payment. The client takes a week. You wonder if you should send the high-res files first. The power dynamic is always off.
The solution
How SendScope helps
Commission tiers that set expectations
Offer a Spot Illustration, Full Character Piece, and Multi-Scene Commission as tiers. Each lists complexity, size, revision rounds, and delivery format -- so clients know what they're buying before they ask.
Revision limits built into the tier
Each tier specifies revision rounds. When a client asks for change number four on a two-revision tier, you have a reference to point to and can offer an add-on for extra rounds.
Payment before you start sketching
Clients pay through Stripe on the deal page. You start the commission with money in your account. No more delivering previews and hoping for payment.
Professional page replaces DM price lists
Drop your deal page link in your Instagram bio, Twitter profile, or Carrd. Potential clients browse your packages without clogging your DMs with pricing questions.
How it works
Three steps to getting paid
Create your deal page
Set up your commission types as tiers. Define complexity, size, medium (digital, traditional), revision rounds, and file formats for each level.
Share your link everywhere
Add it to your Instagram bio, portfolio site, or Linktree. When someone asks about commissions, send the link instead of typing out your rates.
Get paid and start creating
A client picks a tier and pays. You get notified, confirm the brief, and start sketching with payment settled.
