Custom Orders on Creamsi – Fulfilling Individual Requests
Not every request fits into a standard listing. Some buyers want an item worn for a specific number of days, others want a particular activity during the wear period, or special packaging. That's exactly what Creamsi's Custom Order feature is for. This article explains how it works, from both the buyer's and the creator's perspective.
What is a Custom Order?
A Custom Order is an individual arrangement made outside standard listings, negotiated directly between buyer and creator. Instead of purchasing an already-listed item, the buyer describes their request, the creator calculates a fitting price, and both confirm the details bindingly through the platform — including Stripe payment and full buyer protection.
What buyers can specify in a Custom Order
Wear duration
Instead of a fixed standard period, a buyer can request a custom wear duration — from a single day to several weeks. The creator states whether and at what price that's feasible.
Activities during the wear period
Many buyers want an item worn during specific activities, such as exercise, sleep, or everyday life. These requests are clearly recorded in the Custom Order form to avoid misunderstandings.
Packaging and extras
Extras like a specific packaging style, a personal photo as proof, or a handwritten note can also be requested through a Custom Order, if the creator offers it.
How a Custom Order works
1. Making the request
The buyer opens a chat with a creator and describes their individual wish as precisely as possible.
2. Creator's offer
The creator reviews the request, calculates a fair price based on effort, wear duration, and extras, and sends a binding offer through the platform.
3. Confirmation and payment
The buyer confirms the offer and pays securely via Stripe — exactly like any standard listing, with full buyer protection.
4. Fulfillment
The creator carries out the agreed details and, if needed, documents the process with photos or short chat updates.
5. Shipping
The finished item is discreetly packaged and shipped via DHL — just like any other Creamsi order.
How creators set prices for Custom Orders
Creators have full pricing control over individual requests. Factors that typically go into the calculation:
- Time investment: longer wear durations or special activities mean more effort and justify a higher price.
- Rarity of the request: unusual requests can carry a premium.
- Material costs: if a new item is purchased specifically for the request, that cost is factored in.
- Demand and experience: established creators with a high Trust Score can charge more for Custom Orders.
Important: any pricing must be transparently visible in the offer before the buyer pays. There are no hidden extra costs after the order.
Why Custom Orders work for both sides
For buyers, the feature means maximum control over the end result — they get exactly what they want instead of settling for a standard listing.
For creators, Custom Orders open up additional income beyond a regular catalog. Fulfilling individual requests often builds closer customer relationships and results in higher average sale prices.
Tips for a smooth Custom Order
- Be specific. The more precisely the request is described, the more accurately the creator can calculate a price.
- Communicate through the Creamsi chat. That keeps the entire agreement documented and covered by buyer protection.
- Check for references. Looking at past reviews and the Trust Score helps assess whether a creator delivers reliably.
- Confirm all details in writing in the offer before paying.
Conclusion
Custom Orders turn Creamsi into more than a simple marketplace — they create room for real individuality on both sides. If you want to design your own offers and prices, you can become a creator.
