Publish fixed-price Zinns with their own public pages in 45 languages, take 200+ cryptocurrencies, and keep 100% of your first $500." published: 2026-04-05T19:49:08+00:00 modified: 2026-04-05T19:53:33+00:00 language: en-GB --- # Switch from Contra to Zinn Hub # Switch from Contra to Zinn Hub Contra is a commission-free freelance platform. Zinn Hub is a marketplace: each Zinn is a fixed-price package with its own public page in 45 languages, buyers can pay with cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or 200+ cryptocurrencies, and your first $500 in sales is **commission-free** too. Three ways to earn · 0% on your first $500 · Prices in USD The short answer ## What does a marketplace give a freelancer that a profile platform does not? A storefront and a checkout. On Zinn Hub each Zinn is a fixed-price package with its own public page in 45 languages, and buyers order it directly. You keep 100% of your first $500, then [tiered rates that fall as you sell](https://zinnhub.com/pricing/), and buyers can pay with cards, PayPal or 200+ cryptocurrencies. All prices on Zinn Hub are in USD; buyers can view an approximate equivalent in their own currency. - 0% on your first $500 - No buyer platform fee - 45 site languages ## Six things worth weighing up before you move Every marketplace is a set of trade-offs. These are the questions worth asking of any platform, answered here for Zinn Hub only — we do not publish figures about anybody else that we cannot read at source. ### You want a listing buyers can actually buy Every Zinn is a fixed-price package with packages, delivery times and a checkout button, published on its own public page in 45 languages. [Browse live Zinns](https://zinnhub.com/zinns/). ### You want a rate that falls as you grow On Zinn Hub the seller rate is tied to your lifetime sales: 0% on the first $500, then a ladder that steps down to 8%, or a flat 8% or 7% on a paid membership. Your rate is not fixed for life on day one. ### You want the money in your own account Connect your own Stripe or PayPal and buyers pay you directly at checkout. Zinners on platform-protected payments are paid from the payout queue once the order completes. ### You want more than one way to be found A fixed-price listing is one route to a sale. [Projects](https://zinnhub.com/projects/) and the [Freelancer Directory](https://zinnhub.com/freelancers/) are two more, and all three run from the same account. ### You want a low-risk way to test a new service A [Micro Zinn](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/category/graphics-design/) is a fixed-price service at $5, $10, $15 or $20 — cheap enough for a buyer to try you on, and a fast way to find out whether an idea sells. ### You want buyers outside your own language Zinn Hub renders in 45 site languages and you can be messaged in 12 more — 57 in total. Buyers can view prices in 59 display currencies, and everything is charged in USD. ## What Zinn Hub gives a Zinner Our own terms, in one place — and no column of guesses about anybody else. | Feature | Zinn Hub | | --- | --- | | Commission on your first $500 | 0% — you keep 100% | | Commission after that | Tiered on lifetime sales: 20% to $2,500, 15% to $10,000, 13% to $15,000, 10% to $20,000, then 8% | | Flat-rate memberships | Pro Zinner $25 a month — flat 8%. Agency Zinner $50 a month — flat 7% | | Buyer platform fee | None — the price a buyer sees is the price they pay | | Ways to earn | Three: Zinns, Projects and the Freelancer Directory | | Micro Zinns | Fixed-price services at $5, $10, $15 or $20, with their own categories and price pages | | Cost to submit a proposal | Free — there are no bidding credits to buy | | Cost to post a project | Free for buyers — they pay only when they accept a proposal | | How you get paid | Your own Stripe or PayPal at checkout, or the payout queue after the order completes on platform-protected payments | | Your pricing | You set your own prices, packages, revisions and delivery times | | Currency | Priced, charged and paid in USD; viewable in 59 display currencies | | Languages | 45 site languages, and 12 more you can be messaged in — 57 in total | | Buyer payment methods | Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or 200+ cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT | | Seller verification | Government-issued photo ID and evidence of skills and past work | | Reviews | Reviews require a confirmed purchase — a 4.9 average from 39,000+ verified-purchase reviews | | Payment protection | On a Platform Protected Zinner the payment is held by Zinn Hub for the whole order until it completes | | Refunds | Credited to the buyer’s Zinn Wallet in full, in USD | Commission is charged on the seller side only. The full six-tier ladder and both memberships are on the [Zinn Hub pricing page](https://zinnhub.com/pricing/). ### Work out what the tiers mean for your volume Put in your average order value and monthly volume; the calculator applies the real Zinn Hub ladder, commission-free first $500 included. [Open the Income Calculator →](https://zinnhub.com/freelancer-resources/freelancer-income-calculator/) ## How to move your Contra listings across No application to fill in and nobody to wait for: the Import My Services tool does the rebuilding, you check it and confirm. 1. ### Register as a Zinner Registration is free and open. [Create your account](https://zinnhub.com/registration/?tab=seller), then save your My Details preset in the AI Zinn Creator — a two-minute one-off that unlocks Import My Services in your dashboard. 2. ### Paste a listing into Import My Services Copy your public Contra listing or profile and paste it into [the tool](https://zinnhub.com/migrate/); if Contra is not in the picker, choose *Other Platforms*. It rebuilds the title, description, every package with its price, delivery and revisions, the FAQs and the requirements. About two minutes per Zinn, and every Zinner gets 10 free imports. 3. ### Bring your reviews, then preview and confirm Up to 10 reviews come across per Zinn, word for word, with the reviewer’s name, star rating and date — badged as imported and checked against the source URL you paste in. Images are generated free, or upload your own. You edit the full preview before anything is submitted. 4. ### Set up your store, payments and the other two channels The Store Setup and Payment Setup wizards take a few minutes each; connect your own Stripe or PayPal to be paid at checkout. Then publish your [directory profile](https://zinnhub.com/freelancers/) and send free proposals on [Projects](https://zinnhub.com/projects/). **What to expect, honestly.** A star rating and a seller level belong to the platform that issued them; no marketplace can move those across. Imported reviews travel and are shown as imported, but your Zinn Hub rating itself starts again and builds from confirmed purchases here — reviews on Zinn Hub require one. Expect to run both accounts side by side for a while: nothing here asks you to close anything. ## What you get on Zinn Hub Included for every Zinner, from the day you register. ### Three revenue streams from day one Zinns for fixed-price sales, Projects for free proposals, and the Freelancer Directory for inbound hires — one account, three routes to a sale. ### 0% on your first $500, then a falling rate 0% commission on your first $500, then tiered rates that fall as you sell — as low as 7% on Agency Zinner. Buyers pay no platform fee. ### Your own payment accounts Connect Stripe or PayPal and buyers pay you directly at checkout. Zinners on platform-protected payments are paid from the payout queue once the order completes. ### 45 languages, 59 currencies The site reads in 45 languages, you can be messaged in 12 more, and buyers can view prices in 59 display currencies. Everything is charged in USD. ### Verified Zinners and protected payments Zinners are verified with government-issued photo ID and evidence of their skills and past work. On a Platform Protected Zinner the payment is held by Zinn Hub for the whole order until it completes, and refunds are credited to the buyer’s Zinn Wallet in full, in USD. ### Micro Zinns for small, fast work Fixed-price services at $5, $10, $15 or $20, with their own categories and price pages. [See how Micro Zinns work](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/). ### Bring your listings over free, in your own time Import My Services is self-serve and free: paste, preview, confirm. Building a Zinn from scratch instead? Start from [Digital Marketing](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/digital-marketing/) or the [WordPress](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/wordpress/) skill, see who else offers it in the [UI/UX Design directory](https://zinnhub.com/freelancers/skill/ui-ux-design/), read what buyers are asking for in [Digital Marketing projects](https://zinnhub.com/projects/category/digital-marketing/), and pick up the selling guide for your category from [the selling guides](https://zinnhub.com/sell-services/). [Open Import My Services →](https://zinnhub.com/migrate/) ## Switching from Contra — your questions answered No. Nothing on Zinn Hub asks for exclusivity. Move your best-selling listings across first, run both for a while, and let the numbers decide the rest. Every Zinn, every Micro Zinn and every Freelancer Directory profile has its own public page with its own address, rendered in 45 site languages. Buyers also browse by [category](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/digital-marketing/) and by [skill](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/wordpress/), and can post a job on [Projects](https://zinnhub.com/projects/) for you to answer with a free proposal. Zinn Hub charges the seller **0% commission on your first $500, then tiered rates that fall as you sell — as low as 7% on Agency Zinner**. The ladder runs on lifetime sales: 20% to $2,500, 15% to $10,000, 13% to $15,000, 10% to $20,000, then 8%. Pro Zinner is $25 a month for a flat 8% and Agency Zinner is $50 a month for a flat 7%. Buyers pay no platform fee at all. The full ladder is on our [pricing page](https://zinnhub.com/pricing/). Yes — with the free [Import My Services](https://zinnhub.com/migrate/) tool. Copy your public listing or profile, paste it in, and it rebuilds the title, description, packages with their prices, delivery times and revisions, FAQs and requirements as a Zinn you preview and confirm before anything is submitted. If Contra is not one of the named platforms in the picker, choose *Other Platforms*. Every Zinner gets 10 free imports, and images are generated free. Two ways, and you choose. Connect your own Stripe or PayPal and buyers pay you directly at checkout, with no wait for a payout run. Zinners on platform-protected payments are paid from the payout queue after the order completes. Everything is priced, charged and paid in USD. No. The free Zinner membership uses the standard tiered ladder, so you can start selling without paying anything up front. Two optional paid memberships exist if you would rather have a flat rate: Pro Zinner at $25 a month for a flat 8%, and Agency Zinner at $50 a month for a flat 7%. Yes. Buyers can pay with cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, or 200+ cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT. Prices are always set and charged in USD, and buyers can view an approximate equivalent in any of 59 display currencies. A star rating and a seller level belong to the platform that issued them, and no marketplace can move those across. The [import tool](https://zinnhub.com/migrate/) does carry up to 10 of your reviews per Zinn, word for word, with the reviewer’s name, star rating and date, badged as imported and checked against the source URL you paste in. Your Zinn Hub rating itself starts again, because reviews here require a confirmed purchase — across the marketplace that produces a 4.9 average from 39,000+ verified-purchase reviews. A buyer can choose a Platform Protected Zinner, where the payment is held by Zinn Hub for the whole order until it completes. Refunds are credited to the buyer’s Zinn Wallet in full, in USD — there is no refund to card. Zinners are verified with government-issued photo ID and evidence of their skills and past work, and buyers can filter the [directory](https://zinnhub.com/freelancers/) by category, skill, rating, Zinner type, payment mode and payment methods. ## Switching from a different platform?
