π For example: if your monthly retainer is $600 for 10 videos and the 10th video is approved on October 17, your next charge will be on October 20 β unless you end the contract before then.
Monitoring
Check your job calendar regularly to confirm creators are posting on schedule. Once you approve content, the creator is expected to provide the URL to their post and will be paid instantly to their wallet.
Ending a Contract
To end a retainer contract with a creator, navigate to the specific job and click the End Job button. Once terminated, the creator will no longer be able to fulfill the remaining content for the month and the job will be marked as complete.
