Description
This tutorial explains how a buyer and an artist can set up payment using deviantART's Commission Widget. Through this process, the artist receives CASH through PayPal. The artist DOES NOT receive any points. There is a two week delay between when the buyer sends payment and when the artist receives the funds through PayPal.
If you see any typos, please let me know
As you can see, this process is needlessly complicated. To see a proposal for a far simpler system, refer to:

I read that if an artist does not accept or decline your commission after 2 weeks, then the commission expires. However, how do you know if the commission has expired? Do you get any notes or notices about it? I commissioned someone over 2 weeks ago (on March 10th 2018, and it is now March 25th 2018), and they still have not accepted or declined it. Yet I have not gotten any notices of expiration or anything like that.

I don't see Request Commission Button.

I think it only shows up to other deviants...

So if we shouldn't use this to avoid the fee, how does a PayPal transfer work?

As others said, I don't know how to delete old commissions. The pencil button for me only says "Remove this widget" and nothing else. Is this a core feature to delete existing commissions?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
soo, somebody commissioned me today, ( it's under 5$) and it says clearance in 14 days too. but I want to keep the points simply in my da account, so will I still have to wait two weeks to get the points? ":3

Apparently this is how the widget works. BeautifulLaceMoon
Does it mean you have to wait 2 weeks to get the points?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think so. Okay, that's fine. ^^ Don't worry about it, I'll just not use the widget anymore.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's really confusing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
is there anyway to refund/cancel commissions that have already been approved? I could just send the points back but then I still lose the deviantart fee over nothing.

Welp this makes since now. I was sitting there like an idiot till i found this so thanks~! ^^

To remove old commission options, first make the commission visible by clicking "show" and then click the red x button on the right.
Hope this helped! <3

How do we edit or remove commission options?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heya! To edit commission options, first click the pencil/edit button on the widget and then choose the commission you'd like to edit.
To remove commission options, click the red x button.
note: only commissions that are visible can be edited and removed. Click "show" to make the commission visible.
Hope this helped! <3
