Lightning Jobs on Our Platform

Our platform selects specific Manufacturing Partners suitable for lightning jobs. These jobs include a fixed price (including shipping) and a required delivery date.

Before accepting a lightning job, ensure that:

  • You can meet the required specifications and materials.

  • You agree with the price and delivery date, as these cannot be changed once accepted.

Once accepted, a purchase order will be sent immediately, and production must begin. Please note: Lightning jobs cannot be cancelled once accepted.

Act quickly to secure lightning jobs because they are sent out to multiple partners. If the job is no longer available, it means another Manufacturing Partner has already accepted it.


Where to Find Lightning Jobs

To find lightning jobs, go to your Partner Dashboard, click on "Available Jobs," and you’ll see lightning jobs at the top of the page, highlighted in yellow. We also send out emails when a new lightning job has been added, so regularly check your inbox for those.
