Commission Waitlists

SievePage makes it easy to manage your commission queue publicly, so clients always know where they stand, without you having to answer the same DMs every day.

How commission pages work

A commission page is just a regular page used specifically to track commissions. There's no separate "commission mode". The workflow is:

Create a page named something like Commissions Q3 2026
Set up columns for your workflow: Open Slots, Queued, In Progress, Delivered
Make it public so clients can follow along

Each card in your Queued or In Progress column represents one commission. You can add the client's username, the type of piece, and any relevant reference files.

Opening and closing slots

Many creators use a dedicated column (like Open Slots) to signal availability:

Open slots: have visible cards in the Open Slots column
Closed: delete or hide those placeholder cards, or archive the column

Some creators rename the page itself to include status: "Commissions OPEN" or "Commissions CLOSED, check back in October."

Managing client information

Commission cards can hold:

Card title: client handle or commission type (e.g. "@username Half-body")
Description: notes on the piece, references, and agreed price
Due date: your target delivery date
Checklist: sketch, lineart, color, final approval
Labels: mark Rush, Paid, WIP, Done, etc.

Keep sensitive payment details out of public cards. If the page is public, anyone can see the card content.

Making your queue visible

Once your page is public, clients can go to sieve.page/yourusername and see exactly where their commission is in the pipeline. This dramatically reduces "is mine started yet?" messages.

To share your commission page directly, use the page's public URL from Settings > Copy public link.

Closing out a commission batch

When a batch is complete:

Move all delivered cards to the Done column
Archive the page or mark it private
Create a new page for your next batch
