CREATOR ONBOARDING · VERSION 2026-08-28

KNOW THE
PLAYBOOK.

What creators can use now, how bookings are secured, and what stays outside the platform.

CURRENT OPERATING RULE

N3W ERA HOSTS PUBLIC-FACING WORK — NOT CLIENT DELIVERY FOLDERS.

Gallery and story submissions can be stored privately, reviewed by N3W ERA, and hosted after approval. Final client deliverables, including complete job folders, proof galleries, original exports, and direct handoff files, must be delivered off-platform by the creator.

ACTIVE CREATOR PORTAL

WHAT YOU CAN
DO TODAY.

01

OWN YOUR PROFILE

Edit only your connected creator page: bio, location, specialties, coverage radius, equipment, and public gallery.

02

SUBMIT GALLERY WORK

Upload finished promotional portfolio work privately. N3W ERA reviews every entry before it can be hosted or published.

03

PITCH & PUBLISH STORIES

Submit editorial story material for review. Approved stories and their media may be hosted in the N3W ERA newsroom.

04

HANDLE BOOKINGS

Review assigned inquiries, see athlete jersey details, and create itemized online or cash quotes.

05

COLLECT PAYMENTS

Use Stripe as the preferred payment method. For approved cash bookings, collect before the scheduled start and manually confirm receipt.

06

MESSAGE THE DESK

Keep review notes and creator support conversations in the private portal.

BOOKING PAYMENT PLAYBOOK

STRIPE FIRST.
CASH BEFORE GAME TIME.

ONLINE · RECOMMENDED

Stripe Checkout is the easiest and most efficient way for a client to secure coverage. The portal confirms payment automatically and routes the creator payout through the connected Stripe account.

CASH · FALLBACK

Cash is commission-free and intended for clients who cannot pay online. It does not secure coverage until the full amount is physically received and recorded by the creator.

NO PAYMENT, NO GUARANTEED COVERAGE

Collect cash before kickoff or the scheduled start. If it is not received, you may cancel the booking, decline to begin coverage, and leave without providing services. Never mark cash received before you personally have the full amount.

01 · ACCESS

PASSWORDLESS LOGIN

Use the personal email or username assigned by N3W ERA. A single-use code is sent to that email.

02 · IDENTIFY

CHECK THE ATHLETE DETAILS

Sports photo and video requests include a required jersey number and jersey or uniform color to help you locate the correct athlete.

03 · QUOTE

FOLLOW THE SELECTED METHOD

Online bookings receive a secure Stripe link. Cash bookings receive an itemized cash notice with no Stripe link or platform commission.

04 · CLOSE

RECORD CASH HONESTLY

After receiving the full cash amount, use “Mark Cash Received.” The portal closes the booking and emails the client a confirmation.

FADED ROADMAP · NOT ACTIVE
