Cut Local · by DigitalChiselCo
Get paid to make it real
You own the machine. We have the designs, the buyers and the traffic. Join our maker network and receive ready-to-cut jobs from customers near you, with the design file on your dashboard the moment you win.
How it works & what it costs
Applying and getting listed is free. We verify every maker before they go live, so buyers trust the network.
One credit sends a quote. Packs are 10 for $8, 30 for $21, 75 for $45, and credits never expire. Your first 10 quotes are free. Credits keep quotes serious and spam out.
When you win, the buyer pays you directly (your PayPal, Wise, bank or local method). We never hold your money.
When a job completes, we bill a 3% success fee on the job value. When you win a job you also buy its design file at the shop price, shown on the job before you quote, so you build it into your price (free if you already own it; jobs posted from 1 November 2026). Both go on one invoice through our processor (Paddle). No win, nothing to pay.
In short: free to apply → credits to quote → buyer pays you directly → we bill 3% on completed jobs plus the design file of each job you win. You never pay us up front: the fee and the design file are billed after you win, from money the job brings in. Example: a $300 job using a $12 design costs you one credit to quote, then $9 fee + $12 design file, about $21 in total, which you include in your quote. Read every question answered →
Our maker standards (please read)
- You own and operate the machines you list, and the work photos you upload are your own.
- You deliver what you quote — the agreed piece, quality and lead time — and reply to buyers within 24 hours.
- You hold any business/tax registration your country requires, and represent your capabilities honestly.
- Each won job gives you a license to make that one physical piece from our design for that buyer. From 1 November 2026 you buy the design file of each job you win at its shop price, billed with your success fee; it is shown on the job before you quote, and free if you already own the design. You may not resell or share the digital file, or mass-produce beyond the job.
- Quotes are private to the buyer. When a job closes, the makers who quoted receive anonymous results (number of quotes, price range, how fast the buyer chose), never names or the winning price.
- You keep deals on the platform — taking a matched buyer off-platform to avoid fees means removal.
- We may verify your identity and suspend accounts that break these rules or receive repeated complaints.
