Steps to work with a client on RoomPlay:
Login to your Dashboard to view all your Bookings and pen the latest Client Project.
  1. Click "START" button on the Booking page
  2. Collaborate: You can email your client from the platform. It is best to use the "contact me" feature on client's profile instead of communicating through Booking page .
  3. When you're ready to submit the design, shopping list & other requested deliverables, click "DELIVER" button and attach the deliverables (prefer pdf, jpg, zip files)
  4. Please ask the client to login and click "ACCEPT" on the Booking page. They can leave you a Review here.
  5. Payment will be sent after the project is completed.

Our goal is to ensure our Designers’ & clients’ privacy is maintained. For that – we have a “Contact me” feature on each user’s profile.

  • Direct Messaging: If a client wishes to contact you before placing the order, they can use “Contact me” from RoomPlays and you will receive an email notifying you. You can view all your direct DMs in your Messages
  • After Booking: Depending on your & the client’s preference, you can email/call directly, however we recommend initial reach-out and final delivery communication be handled from within the “Order page”. You can send, receive & track all communication related to that Booking from the Order Page.

RoomPlays has a wide variety of designers, each pricing their services based on value they provide. Our designers operate Individually & Independently and hence recommend that you price competitively, but also be true to what is worthy of your time and expertise.

Base Service: The Base service should be within the range and must include at minimum 1 E-Design (and preferably Shopping list of sourced products).

Add-ons: We recommend to customize your listing with Add-ons for anything beyond the Base service such as Paint suggestions, Floor Plan, 3D Rendering, Extra Revisions, Extra Rooms etc

Custom Orders: When a client places a custom order, you can accept, decline or negotiate with a counter offer - you are free to specify your new price here. If the client accepts, they will be redirected to complete the payment and you will receive confirmation once the booking has been placed.

In order to increase visibility, we recommend a few things :
  1. Complete Portfolio: Firstly to create a complete portfolio so clients see that you offer a range of services for various categories.
  2. Featured Designer Badge: The "Featured Designer" badge enables you to show up on our Home Page and top of all Search categories, and preferred on Style Quiz matches. This is available to our most Active Designers. Please contact us directly to learn about how to earn the badge.

Custom Orders: When a client places a custom order, you can accept, decline or negotiate with a counter offer - you are free to specify your new price here. If the client accepts, they will be redirected to complete the payment and you will receive confirmation once the booking has been placed.
