ahkdev Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) I code programs so the pricing will vary greatly for different requirements, if buyers were to order directly without discussing the requirements and setting up a price with me, they would usually pick a very low price either because they think the task is very simple or wanted to get something at very low price. I tried putting "Please don't order directly" on gig descriptions, gig packages, etc. But I still get direct orders all the time. Then I came up with this arrangement: Only one package, with "Starting at {price}" as the package name, and a description clearly asking the buyer to contact us first. It's been a while now and I haven't received any direct orders since, and my sales increased as well since buyers contacted me more! I highly recommend sellers who need customers to contact them first arrange their gigs like so.

vickieito Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 That's a very clever way to set up your packages, @ahkdev! I'm currently using Fiverr's new Request to Order feature on all my gigs to prevent buyers from placing orders without talking with me: I turn this feature on and off based on how many orders I'm getting. It works great! I hope this feature becomes available to all sellers soon! 111 3 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yannisenglish Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 That is indeed an ingenious way of using Fiverr's interface 🙂 I have a question, though. Have you checked what it looks like on both mobile and the website version of the UI? It seems some part of it gets omitted when someone orders via the phone app so I'm just wondering if the "Starts at $10" part is visible. 84 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the phone app the package title is hidden if there's only one package. For sellers with more mobile buyers it's necessary to add multiple packages. 74 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to draw people to pay extra and this is not a must-have thing, people can receive orders and manage them without it. Seller Plus is great for those nice to haves.. and this fits right in. So I don't see it being added to the masses, just like the negative keywords or the buyer info thing. 71 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wp4mizan Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Don't you think it's little more inconvenience for buyer to order at the 1st place? As a seller point of view, I appreciate this feature is way more convenience to have. I think it's better to have this feature available so buyer also can get a chance to compatible with the system and update themselves. 66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarman_shohan Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I think if we want to avoid direct orders then we should set the good pricing for basic gig. I faced same problems multiple times. Most of the time buyer didn't provide enough information so I had to cancel the orders. 61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serhatakgl Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The start of the order problem, without submitting an offer! Hello, I just got a notification. Someone new to Fiverr has started an order. How does he get the right to start an order without sending an offer? I did not accept anything, I did not see it. I want to cancel the order, how can I cancel the order without damaging my rate? What is your suggestion? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
