What is Sieve?

Sieve is a web application in early private beta that allows artists to track, showcase, and receive payments for their commissions. It also includes technology that helps guard uploaded static artwork from AI data scraping.Onboarded users ("Sievartists") can track their workflow with cards, upload finished artwork to help guard it from AI data scraping, and showcase their page to receive direct payments for commissions.You have to meet minimum age requirements to sign up or to access our no-fee payment processing.

How it works

Sieve is in early private beta and is onboarding artists and art lovers periodically. Sign up to receive an invite email (no invite code necessary)!After you create an account, you can track your commissions, get paid, make new friends, and have fun in our intimate and kindness-focused community 💖Our initial Sieve page background is created by the lovely @arunyi_! Please note that her art is unavailable in Star mode. When in Star mode, you can choose a default, white background ("default" theme), dark background ("dark" theme), or upload your own jpg, png, or gif ("custom" theme).

Your private and public view

Similar to Trello, your Sieve page will have a private view and a public view.Private View
The private view gives you the ability to add, edit, and delete cards and columns when you're tracking your commissions. In the gallery, you can upload static images, and manage them in the yellow gallery folder ("magical folder").You can also customise your account username, website link, and background image that show in the public view. Participate in Star mode by turning on the "Star mode" toggle to earn stars and level up your Sievartist type to enable payments 🤩

Public View
Visitors to your Sieve page see the same cards, columns, public gallery images, and the background image you customised. They cannot edit page content or account details.A "Pay" button is shown next to your name and commission sub-header for your Supporters to pay you directly. Learn more how to unlock and enable payments here and here.

View your Public Sieve page

Your public Sieve page can be accessed by others through sieve.page/username. You are required to choose a username of no less than two letters upon account sign-up.

I want more features! How do I tell you?

We go through software updates monthly based on Sievartist feedback! We're literally here to customise the app however you want us to, please let us know what features you'd like to be added!File a "Feature Request" in our Help channel on Discord or let us know below!

I see bugs! How do I tell you?

See above!Some common bug questions we get include:

Payment processor connection
Please note that we currently partner with Stripe for no-fee commission processing. Unfortunately, Stripe is still in beta in many countries. We apologise for the inconvenience if you're a Sievartist who cannot use our payment feature yet! 😵 To see the list of countries in which Stripe is fully available, see here. We have plans to upgrade our payment processor capabilities, thank you for your patience!Artwork AI-protective gloss
Similar to other AI-protective solutions, there are limitations to the algorithm in Sieve. There may be times when your uploaded image may fail to be AI-protective "glossed". If that happens, you will see an error message in the drag & drop box in which you tried to upload your image. Please let us know so we can give you more stars to gloss another version!

How do I process commissions on Sieve?

Connect your Stripe account to allow Supporters to pay you via their bank card on your Sieve page! Payments go directly from the Supporter to the Sievartist and Sieve takes no fee. This feature is currently only available to Asteroid Artists. To see your artist type, look at the badge in between "Star mode" and your star count in the top right-hand corner of the navigation bar.

In keeping with the values of Sieve, our payment feature allows Artists to retain full control over their commission process. As such, commission terms and conditions, customer support, chargeback, disputes, and all other relevant commission-related support will be handled by the Artist. If you receive a dispute with a Stripe payment, you can refer to Stripe's guides on how to handle them here and here. We'd love to hear from you if we can be of service or contact Stripe directly.

1) Enter all Account details and enable payment processing 🌠- Make sure you entered a Sieve display name, username, and website for your Supporters!
- Under your email, click "Create Stripe Account"
If you already have a Stripe account, this will connect it to Sieve and create a Sieve-connected Stripe account for you to access on your Stripe dashboard
If you don't have a Stripe account, this will prompt you to quickly set up a Stripe account for free

2) Set up your Sieve-connected Stripe 💪🏻- Go through a short connection/setup process with Stripe. Similar to the Stripe connection process on Ko-fi, a new window will pop up asking you to sign into your Stripe account
- Stripe would ask for certain details such as account details (email, password), business or personal details (location, if you're a business or individual, and some personal information), professional details (details about your business, bank account to link for Stripe to send payouts)
- Enter "Public Details" such as business name, phone number, and address. Please choose the details you want to be shown publicly (e.g. bank statements, confirmation emails, etc.). Your Supporters can see this information when they complete a payment
- For now, we only support Stripe payment processing and this Sieve-connected Stripe account will remain on your Sieve account once you set it up
- Once all the necessary information is provided, you will be redirected back to your Sieve page (and you're now ready to start earning)!

3) Show off your Sieve page to Supporters 🎨- The "Pay" button is displayed on the public Sieve page next to your yellow sub-header

- Visitors to the public page can now pay the Artist directly by clicking on the "Pay" button ("Supporters")
- A popup will prompt Supporters to enter an amount and a message. Upon clicking "Support ($ amount)". Stripe will handle all payment details such as card information

4) Payment completion💰- Both the Supporter and the Sievartist will receive an email notification following a successful payment
- Sievartists can see the amount and the message under "Account" > "My Earnings". The amount is also available in the Stripe account dashboard

Other informationSievartists can enable or hide the "Pay" button on your public Sieve page. If you no longer wish visitors to have the option to send you payments, simply go to "Account" > "Payments & Orders" and turn off the toggle.

Stripe payout schedules depend on your location and business type. After that, it's a rolling 2, 4, or 7-day schedule. You can even set it to transfer instantly for a fee. You can learn more in the "Payout Settings" of your Stripe Dashboard.

Please ensure you understand Sieve's Terms and Privacy, role as a facilitator of transactions, and the type of personal information that we may collect through your usage of our app and our payment feature.

How do Supporters pay Sievartists?

Upon successful payment, their funds will go directly to Sievartists!For recurring payments:Supporters can save their details during the initial payment process for easier future payments. They will need to select to save and provide a phone number for verification codes. Stripe will then register the card details with the associated email. After the details are saved, Supporters can use the same email to send you payments by card/Stripe through a verification process by phone number and completing the one-click checkout process.Supporters' payment details and personal information are securely saved by Stripe and can be managed by the Supporter. See more here.

What do I need to use stripe on Sieve?

Earnings go straight into Sievartists' own payment accounts. Stripe charges regular transaction fees and can vary depending on your account type, location, and the currency used. Usually, it's 3% + $0.30.If you receive a dispute with a Stripe payment, you can refer to Stripe's guides on how to handle them here and here. You can also contact Stripe directly.Sieve's mission is to create a kinder and safer internet for human artists.

What is gloss?

When you upload an artwork to the Sieve page gallery, you apply a "gloss" to help guard it from AI data scraping. Out of an abundance of caution, we disclose the algorithm and its authors to onboarded Sievartists only. This method differs from existing systems released by American university research teams, which guards artwork by shifting and disrupting an artwork's feature representation to AI models. Similar to their work, it contains limitations and faces the challenge of being future-proof in the long run as the development of generative AI models accelerates. The Sieve team is committed to expanding the algorithm's protective capabilities and demands respect and understanding of our good faith efforts.Sieve is open to all artists in the community (no invite code!). We are pacing access to ensure the best experience given heightened demand. Interested artists can sign up for an email invite.

Will you support other content formats in the future?

That's the hope! We are working hard to expand our team to improve the algorithm. We appreciate your trust, patience, and understanding in the meantime.

I have more questions, comments, or constructive feedback, who do I contact?

We love hearing from existing and potential Sievartists! Please be kind and respectful when reaching out via social media @sievepage. Even if we cannot immediately incorporate your feedback, we always listen and consider it as we iterate our product.We absolutely do not tolerate disrespect and will promptly take appropriate actions to address the misbehaviour. This includes threats, harassment, stalking, abuse, slurs, profanity, personal attacks, negging, backhanded comments, sexual remarks or innuendos, physical violence, baseless accusations, public speculation about others, and any other behaviour that Sieve deems inappropriate. Our team is here for the long haul and will take any and all possible remedies available to us to protect the integrity of our app and the safety of our community.We'd love to have you join and read our community and content guidelines. If you become aware of a conduct violation, you are encouraged to report it to hi@sieve.page.

If the provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, then it will be severed from these terms, and all other provisions are to remain in force. Should either party fail to enforce a right provided by these Terms, then it does not waive the ability to enforce any rights in the future.Changes to TermsWe may change these Terms from time to time.
