Cabana gives creators a direct page for permitted brand work: portfolio, brief intake, agreements, deliverables, and payment where the creator approves the finished work before the brand is charged. Brands do not need a Cabana account, and Cabana adds no fee to the brand’s agreed price.

Same budget, roughly $58–$83 more to the creator - and nothing extra out of your pocket.
Marketplace figures based on published pricing (e.g. Collabstr: 15% creator payout cut plus a 10%/5% brand fee). Cabana figures include Stripe processing, which the creator covers.
Built like a business, not a feed.
Your budget goes to the work
Some marketplaces charge both sides of a deal. Booking permitted direct work through a creator's Cabana page adds no Cabana fee for the brand - you pay the amount agreed with the creator.
Procurement-friendly by default
Pay a Stripe checkout link for pay-now deals, or request a formal hosted invoice with net 15/30/60/90 terms - real invoices your finance team can process, with Stripe receipts and automatic reminders.
The creator controls the payment request
A creator reviews the brief, agrees the work, and marks delivery before approving a Stripe checkout or invoice. Cabana does not collect a marketplace deposit from the brand.
Your contract, on the record
Attach your agreement right on the creator's intake form. It's stored with the deal, both sides work from the same document, and deliverables are tracked against it.
Four steps, zero brand accounts.
Review the creator's page

Send your brief
Use the "Work with me" form: budget, deliverables, timeline, usage rights - and attach your contract if you have one. It lands in the creator's pipeline instantly. No signup, no app, no back-and-forth over DMs.
Creator review and agreement
The brief starts as an inquiry. The creator decides whether to move it forward, confirms scope and terms with you, and keeps the agreed contract and deliverables with the deal record.
Complete the work, then pay
After delivery, the creator can approve a Stripe checkout link or a hosted invoice with net 15, 30, 60, or 90 terms. Stripe handles the payment page, receipts, and invoice reminders.
