Maker guide: apply, verify, and prepare for gigs

A maker role is application-gated. Creating an account or choosing a maker signup intent does not approve production access or guarantee gigs.

Step by step

1. 1

   Step 1: Create your account

   Open Create account. Enter Email, Password, and First name. Use at least eight characters with uppercase, lowercase, a number, and a symbol, then choose Create account. If you already have an account, use Log in instead.

   Create account →

   Check: You see either the confirmation-email message or role onboarding; do not create a second account to add another role.

   

2. 2

   Step 2: Confirm your email when prompted

   Use the confirmation link sent to the address you entered. Return to Goodiee and sign in if needed. A saved signup intent suggests a role; it does not approve a maker or supplier application.

   Log in →

   Check: You can reach your dashboard or the role onboarding screen with your own account.

3. 3

   Step 3: Start the Maker application

   Open Settings → Roles and choose Start application for Make products, or open the Maker application directly. Review the requirements before entering your business, equipment, and production information.

   Open this screen →

   Check: You see the maker application rather than a self-service verified-role checkbox.

4. 4

   Step 4: Prepare and submit accurate evidence

   Complete the application sections, register equipment for each selected method, and provide the requested photographs and agreements. Use the dedicated application manual for the section-by-section checklist.

   Open this screen →

   Check: The review section has no outstanding required-field errors.

5. 5

   Step 5: Wait for a recorded decision

   Submitted or Under review means staff are still assessing the application. Return to the application page for its status and notes. If updates are requested, correct the relevant information and use the resubmission action offered there.

   Open this screen →

   Check: Approval is shown by the site before you expect production access.

6. 6

   Step 6: Set up Maker Operations after approval

   Confirm contact information, business address, methods, materials, product capabilities, equipment, capacity, fulfillment, availability, and gig selection. Keep the saved production hours, lead time, and weekly schedule within what you can actually complete.

   Open this screen →

   Check: The operations page reports your settings as saved.

7. 7

   Step 7: Complete machine-specific verification when required

   Follow any equipment verification instructions and challenge codes shown by the site. An approved maker application and an individual machine's verification status are different records.

   Open this screen →

   Check: The machine and production method you intend to use have the status required for that work.

8. 8

   Step 8: Review matched offers before accepting

   Open Gigs. Read the requirements, quantity, ship-by date, offered production amount, and available assets. Accept only work you can perform, using the offer controls before expiry. Empty offers are not an assurance of a fault or a promise of future orders.

   Open this screen →

   Check: Accepted work appears in your assigned jobs.

9. 9

   Step 9: Keep fulfillment and availability current

   Use the assigned job and its available fulfillment controls while producing the order and when it ships. Check the supplied address and add the required shipment details. If equipment fails or you are away, update availability and resolve existing commitments rather than assuming pausing removes them.

   Check: Job states describe work actually done, and future capacity matches reality.
