Step 1: Browsing & Finding a Gig

Before you buy, you need to find the right freelancer for your project. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gig.tn Homepage

    • Visit Gig.tn and log into your account.

  2. Browse Services

    • Use the search bar to type keywords related to what you need (e.g., "logo design," "Facebook ads management").

    • Or, navigate through categories like:

      • Programming & Tech

      • Writing & Translation

      • Graphic Design

      • Marketing & Social Media

      • Video & Animation, etc.

  3. Check Freelancer Profiles & Gig Details

    • Click on a gig to open the detailed service page.

    • Read the description, pricing, delivery time, and freelancer reviews.

    • Look at previous work samples to evaluate quality.


Step 2: Ordering a Gig (Click "Buy Now")

Once you've found a service that fits your needs:

  1. Click the "Buy Now" Button

    • This takes you directly to checkout.

  2. Choose Add-Ons (Optional)

    • Some freelancers offer extra services (faster delivery, additional revisions, source files, etc.).

    • You can customize your order by selecting relevant add-ons.

  3. Review Your Order Summary

    • You'll see the total price, including any fees or applicable discounts.


Step 3: Fixing the "Authorization Error" (If It Appears)

If you see the following error message:

"Vous n'avez pas l'autorisation d'acheter ce service. Seuls les employeurs peuvent acheter les services."


(Translation: You are not authorized to buy this service. Only employers can purchase services.)

This means you are currently using a Freelancer account instead of a Buyer account.

How to Fix This: Switch to Buyer Mode

  1. Go to the Top-Right Profile Menu

    • Hover over your profile icon in the top-right corner.

    • A dropdown menu will appear.

  2. Click "Changer de rôle d'utilisateur" (Switch User Role)

    • Select "Buyer" to switch to employer mode.

    • Now, you can purchase services.

  3. Return to the Gig Page & Click "Buy Now" Again

    • The error should be gone, and you’ll proceed to checkout.


Step 4: Checkout & Payment

Once in Buyer mode, you’ll be taken to the Checkout page.

1. Enter Your Billing Information

  • Fill out:

    • Full Name

    • Email Address (where order confirmation & invoice will be sent)

    • Billing Address (country, city, postal code, phone number)

2. Choose a Payment Method

Gig.tn supports multiple payment options:

  • Konnect

  • D17 (Tunisia’s Digital Wallet)

  • National & International Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard)

3. Finalize Your Order

  • Review your order details and total cost.

  • Click "Commander" (Place Order).

  • Once payment is processed, you’ll receive a confirmation email & invoice.


Step 5: Tracking Your Order & Receiving Work

After purchase:

The freelancer is notified of your order.
✔ You can track progress from your Dashboard → Orders section.
✔ If needed, communicate with the freelancer via messages.
✔ Once the freelancer delivers the work, review it carefully before marking the order as "Complete."


Final Notes

  • If you can’t purchase a service, ensure you're in Buyer mode.

  • Payments are held in escrow until the freelancer delivers.

  • You can request revisions if the work isn’t as expected.

  • Gig.tn ensures a safe, scam-free environment with secure transactions.
