Stop managing commissions in DMs.
One professional link. Serious buyers.
Plamo//HQ gives you a verified profile with your portfolio, pricing expectations, and a structured commission request form — all in one shareable link. Buyers see your work before they message you. International buyers know your rates and availability upfront. Fewer casual inquiries. More builds that actually happen.
You have spent years building real craft.
The platforms you use were not built for you.
Same kit. Same hours.
A clearer platform changes what you can charge.
When your portfolio, pricing, and commission status are visible upfront, the buyers who reach out already understand your value. The ones who don't will self-select out before they contact you.
Discord / Reddit / IG DMs
— “$200 sound fair?”
- No price anchor — every quote starts from zero and works against you.
- Buyers have no context for your process, timeline, or build quality upfront.
- Scope changes happen verbally. Extra work becomes an argument, not an invoice.
- No portfolio record. Each new buyer needs the same explanation from scratch.
- PayPal G&S takes 3.5% + $0.30 and offers no protection for custom work disputes.
- International buyers hesitate — informal shipping and payment feels too uncertain.
Plamo//HQ Verified Builder
— rate card visible. Buyers self-select.

- Portfolio, build history, and shipping availability visible before they reach out.
- Change orders are built in. Scope changes become invoices automatically.
- Your profile compounds. Every shipped build strengthens the next conversation.
- 6% flat fee — no PayPal hold, no chargeback exposure. Escrow handles the payment cycle.

Eight things in one place.
One flat 6%. Free to start.
We built the entire commission workflow from the studio bench out — intake, pricing display, escrow, milestones, international shipping, and a dashboard — so you do not have to stitch it together yourself.
Builder Profile & Portfolio
Portfolio photos, your pricing, commission availability, and a build history — all on one shareable link. Buyers see your work, your rates, and whether you are taking commissions before they ever contact you.
Pricing Display & Rate Card
Set hourly, tiered, or fixed-fee pricing once. Buyers see exactly what your time costs before they message you. Serious buyers self-select. Casual inquiries drop off before they reach your inbox.
Structured Commission Request Form
Buyers submit a brief — kit, budget, timeline, reference images — before they can contact you. You get real information upfront instead of vague openers. No complete brief, no booking.
50% Deposit, Held in Escrow
Half on accepted brief, half on delivery. Deposit is held in escrow and released when milestones are confirmed. No payment means the project does not start. The platform holds that line for you.
Build Milestones & Change Orders
Photo sign-off at each build stage keeps buyers informed and scope protected. If they ask for something new mid-build, it auto-generates a change order. No more unpaid extras added after the fact.
Insured International Shipping
Pre-cut foam, climate sleeves, and up to $25K insurance — both directions. Builders in Japan can confidently take orders from Germany. The kit arrives safe. The finished build ships back the same way.
Builder Dashboard
Track booked revenue, your active queue, build timelines, and annual earnings in one place. Know your real effective hourly rate. No more studio income managed across spreadsheets and notebooks.
Builder Community
Connect with other serious commission builders. Share overflow work, get referrals, and access commission requests from collectors who have clear budgets and serious intent.
Builders who made the shift to a professional commission setup.
“I used to spend 20 minutes explaining my process every time someone messaged me. Now I send them my Plamo//HQ link. My portfolio, pricing, and commission form are all there — serious buyers arrive already knowing what to expect.”
“I was getting a lot of DMs that went nowhere — curious people, not buyers. The intake form filters that out. The deposit requirement does the rest. My time goes to actual builds now, not quote conversations that do not convert.”
“International commissions felt too risky without a clear process — shipping, payments, communication across time zones were all informal. Plamo//HQ gives buyers and builders shared structure. That is what international work actually needs.”
Four steps. Your first serious request inside a week.
Set up your profile.
Add portfolio photos, set your rate card, mark whether commissions are open, and list your specialties. Buyers see all of this before they ever contact you. Live in under an hour.
Serious buyers find you.
Buyers browse verified builder profiles with real portfolios and visible pricing. When ready, they fill out a structured commission request — budget, timeline, kit, and references included.
Deposit secures the project.
You accept the brief. The buyer's deposit is automatically charged and held in escrow. Their kit ships to your studio in pre-cut foam. You start building with payment already protected.
Sign off. Get paid.
Buyers sign off at each photo milestone. Escrow releases the remaining payment after final delivery and sign-off. Clean, documented, and done — building a track record that makes your next booking easier.

EARLY ACCESS
Free to claim your profile. 6% only when a commission completes. No subscription. No monthly cost.
Plamo//HQ is in early access. We are building with a focused group of serious commission builders who want a better way to manage their work. Early builders get direct input into what we build next, and lock in their terms before the platform opens publicly.
What serious builders ask before they set up a profile.
DMs are not free. PayPal G&S is already 3.5% + $0.30 — add chargebacks, scope creep, the time spent on quotes that do not convert, and unpaid revision requests. The 6% comes with deposit protection, escrow, milestone sign-off, dispute handling, and shipping support built in. None of that exists in your current setup.
Every commission has photo sign-off at each build milestone. If a buyer disputes after final delivery, our team reviews the milestone photos against the original brief. Photo-documented progress protects builders from vague claims. Escrow means nothing releases without confirmed sign-off.
You are not closing Instagram. You are closing the loop. Keep posting. Add your Plamo//HQ link to your bio. Every serious inquiry that lands in your DMs — point them to your commission request form. Plamo//HQ converts your reach into structured bookings, not a replacement for your audience.
A wait list without deposit protection is just a list of intentions. Plamo//HQ gives that list structure — buyers commit with a deposit, timelines are documented, and pricing is anchored to your rate card. Builders with existing audiences often see the most immediate benefit because the intake form does the filtering their DMs never did.
Shipping is insured both directions. Pre-cut foam packaging is included. If the kit is damaged through our shipping process, we handle the claim. You are not liable for what happens in transit when you use Plamo//HQ shipping. You never eat the cost of someone else's kit.
Your profile shows buyers your commission status, pricing, build history, and shipping availability — all upfront. Buyers outside your country can see whether you ship internationally, read your process, and submit a structured request before any informal communication starts. Escrow-protected payments and insured shipping make the whole transaction feel lower-risk for both sides.
Someday Sunday.
Build a profile. Book a real commission.
Every day without a professional profile is another day explaining your process in DMs, quoting without leverage, and passing on international buyers because the process feels too uncertain. Your profile takes under an hour to set up.
