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.
BOOKING PAYMENT PLAYBOOKSTRIPE FIRST.
CASH BEFORE GAME TIME.
ONLINE · RECOMMENDEDStripe 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 · FALLBACKCash 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 COVERAGECollect 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.
