Held-payment UGC orders in KSA: accept the video first
How Saudi brands order ready vertical video from approved creators with held payment until acceptance, fixed creator prices, and verified platform metrics.
Saudi e-commerce managers often need the same thing: a ready vertical video for product pages, ads, or social—without launching a campaign, running a brief round-trip, or signing an agency retainer. PushBrands (بوش براندز) is a KSA UGC marketplace where brands browse local creators, see verified platform metrics next to previous work, and buy at a fixed base price the creator sets. Payment stays held until the brand accepts the delivered video.
Why held payment changes the buying decision
On PushBrands, the brand pays when it orders, but the money is not released to the creator immediately. Funds stay held while the order moves in progress → delivered → accepted. Only after the brand accepts the video is payment released.
That matters because:
- You review the file before the creator is paid.
- Creators deliver against a clear acceptance step, not an open-ended “we’ll see after posting.”
- After the order closes, both sides leave reviews—so trust compounds on completed work, not promises.
If you are comparing UGC to retainers or campaign tools, start with acceptance and held funds, then price. For how fixed pricing and direct purchase work end to end, see Fixed-price UGC in Saudi Arabia: buy a ready video for your store.
Live platform numbers (at the time of writing)
- 66 creators approved and bookable right now
- 2,750 creator accounts registered
- 3,221 brand accounts registered
- 477 videos delivered and accepted by the brand
- Lowest published creator base price: 150 SAR
These are operational counts only. They are not a promise of views, reach, or follower growth. Buy on category fit, previous work, and the price shown before you order.
How brands evaluate creators before they buy
Filter by product category and service
Live product categories: Fashion, Home & Garden, Electronics, Digital Products, Beauty, Sports & Fitness, Food & Beverage, Automotive, Eyewear, Gifts & Occasions.
Services a creator can offer (priced separately and shown before ordering): Voice-over, Promo code, On-camera appearances, Video editing, Motion graphics, Event coverage.
A Beauty order that needs On-camera appearances plus Voice-over is a different buy from an Electronics clip that only needs Video editing. Lock the service mix before you compare base prices.
Open the profile: metrics beside previous work
Discovery lets you filter by category and service, sort by engagement, then open a profile with verified platform metrics and previous work side by side. Treat that combination—not an off-platform screenshot—as your shortlist criteria.
Fixed base price; extras visible before checkout
Every creator publishes a base price. Extra services are priced separately and shown before you order. There is no bidding and no campaign setup: pick a creator and buy.
Order flow for the brand
- Wallet — top up a balance and spend it across orders.
- Favourites — save creators that fit your catalogue for later.
- Order — status starts in progress.
- Review delivery — when status is delivered, watch the vertical video.
- Accept — acceptance releases payment to the creator; both sides can then review.
No campaign launch, no brief ping-pong, no auction. You are buying a ready-to-publish vertical video at a known price, with money held until you accept.
If you are a creator deciding whether to join
There is no follower minimum to join. After approval, what brands see is bookable availability, a clear base price, optional paid services, and previous work next to verified metrics. Reviews after closed orders build your reputation with brands already on the platform (3,221 brand accounts registered)—not a guaranteed view count.
Match your offer to live categories (for example Fashion, Food & Beverage, or Sports & Fitness) and name services accurately—Voice-over, On-camera appearances, Video editing, and so on—so they appear before the brand orders.
When this model fits a Saudi store
- You need repeatable product UGC, not one seasonal campaign.
- You want a known cost (base price + listed extras) instead of a retainer.
- You prefer funds released only after you accept the file.
- You want to compare KSA creators with metrics and past work in one place.
Right now 66 creators are approved and bookable, and 477 videos have already been delivered and accepted. Start in your product category, shortlist two or three profiles, and order with a fixed price and held payment until you accept the video.
