AccountsDo I need separate buyer and creator accounts?+
No. One Sira account can hire, buy products, follow creators and later activate creator earning surfaces. Services, Digital Suq and Beteseb sit under the same account.
AccountsCan I change my public creator name, photo and profile?+
Yes. Creator identity details such as your public name, profile photo, cover, headline, city, bio, links and portfolio are managed from your account and Creator Studio. Your public username is the handle used by your creator profile URL.
VerificationWhat does the verified badge mean?+
It means Sira approved the identity verification review for that account. It is a trust signal about identity, not a promise that every service, product or outcome will meet a buyer's expectations.
VerificationWhat does KYC ask a creator to submit?+
The current verification flow can collect the creator's name, ID type, phone, a selfie, the front of the identity document and the back where applicable. Sira administrators review the submission before approval or rejection.
ServicesHow does a protected service order work?+
A buyer chooses a package or accepts an offer and pays through Sira. After payment is verified, the order moves through funded work, delivery and buyer review. The creator receives service earnings in the wallet only after the order is completed or resolved in the creator's favour.
ServicesWhat if the delivered work is not right?+
Use the order thread. Request revisions when the package still has revisions available, or open a dispute when the issue cannot be resolved normally. Sira administrators can review the order record and resolve a disputed order.
ServicesCan I pay a creator directly?+
You can communicate however Sira allows, but Sira's protected order controls only apply to payments made through Sira. Direct payment outside the platform is outside Sira's order, release and dispute flow.
JobsWhat is the difference between browsing creators and posting a job?+
Browse creators when you already know the kind of creator or service you want. Post a job when you want eligible creators to see one brief and send offers to you.
JobsHow do creators find jobs that match them?+
Sira can match posted jobs against the creator's active services and job-alert preferences. Creators can also browse open jobs directly.
Digital SuqWhat can be sold in Digital Suq?+
Digital Suq is for creator-made digital goods such as ebooks, templates, presets, downloadable files, tutorials and courses, subject to Sira's seller and content rules.
Digital SuqWhen does Digital Suq money become withdrawable?+
Paid Digital Suq proceeds use the current wallet hold window before they move from held to available. The wallet shows held and available money separately.
Digital SuqWhere do buyers find purchased files and courses?+
Purchased Digital Suq items appear in the buyer's Sira library. Access depends on the product type and purchase state.
BetesebWhat is Beteseb?+
Beteseb is Sira's creator-community and support layer. A creator can have free followers, paid Family access, gated posts and one-time gifts under the same public creator identity.
BetesebDoes Family access renew automatically?+
No. The current Family membership is 30-day access with manual renewal. Renewing before expiry adds the new period after the existing expiry so unused paid days are not lost.
BetesebCan I support a creator without joining Family?+
Yes. You can follow free, and where enabled you can send a one-time gift without buying Family access.
Wallet & payoutsWhat goes into the creator wallet?+
The unified wallet can include completed service earnings, Digital Suq proceeds, Beteseb membership proceeds and gifts. The wallet separates currently held amounts from money available to withdraw.
Wallet & payoutsCan I withdraw any amount?+
A creator can request a whole-birr amount up to the currently available balance. A pending withdrawal reserves that amount so it cannot be requested or spent twice.
Wallet & payoutsWhy might a withdrawal say it is being processed?+
Withdrawal requests may require payout review or settlement before they are marked paid. The wallet keeps pending withdrawals separate from paid-out totals.
PaymentsWhat payment processor does Sira use?+
Sira currently integrates Chapa for payment processing. Payment method availability can depend on Chapa and the transaction being made.
PaymentsDoes Sira store my full card details?+
Sira does not need to store full card details for the current Chapa checkout flow. Payment processors handle sensitive payment credentials according to their own systems and policies.
SafetyWhat information should stay inside an order?+
Keep the brief, important agreements, delivery files and dispute-relevant messages in the Sira order thread whenever possible. That record is what the platform can review when something goes wrong.
SafetyCan a creator sell while unverified?+
Public earning visibility can depend on verification, seller permissions, account status and whether the creator actually has valid public inventory. Sira should not advertise an earning surface that is not eligible or usable.
PrivacyWhat personal information does Sira use?+
The platform uses account and profile information needed to operate Sira, plus transaction, order, messaging and verification information where those features are used. KYC documents are private review material rather than public profile content.
PrivacyCan I permanently delete an account?+
Account deletion can affect shared marketplace history such as orders, purchases, reviews, messages or financial records. Sira therefore treats destructive deletion as a controlled administrative action rather than a simple profile preference.
HelpWhere should I report a problem?+
For an active order, use the order thread and dispute controls. For account or platform issues, use Sira support/help channels so the relevant record can be checked.
