Ifonly Reviews

"Ifonly.com" accepts all major credit cards, PayPal, and can receive wire transfers for amounts over $10,000. Payments to luminaries are made twice per month on the 1st and 16th of the month. Once an order date & time is confirmed, 50% of the earnings are received on the next payout. The remaining payment is processed according to certain factors. Please note that this information is subject to change and it's always a good idea to check the latest on the official website.

"Ifonly.com" is a platform where luminaries can set their own price for the experiences they offer. The site aims to provide unique experiences that can't be found elsewhere. Experiences in the $100-150 per person range are ideal and experiences under $200 per person are significantly more likely to sell on the platform as it appeals to a wider audience.

When setting the price, luminaries should consider whether the price matches the value of the experience and whether it covers their costs. If the experience includes things like tickets or materials that cost money, the price should ensure that the luminary is not losing money.

Luminaries have full control of their sales price to ensure that they make what they need from each sale. However, it's recommended to follow some basic principles when choosing pricing levels. For instance, even if a luminary is the best tour guide in the city, it’s important to have competitive pricing so that customers recommend the experience and return to purchase again.

To change pricing on a listing, luminaries can go to their Listings page and press the Edit button on the Listing of their choice to make any changes they’d like. Please note that once a listing has sold, certain aspects of the sold listing, including price, cannot be edited. If a luminary would like to change the price of a listing after a sale, they can easily clone and create a new listing to reflect the changes they would like to make.

At IfOnly, products are sold as is and cannot be returned. This is because they strive to provide accurate details, photos, and dimensions of a product on their website. If there are any questions about an item, it is recommended to check in with an IfOnly concierge before making a purchase.

Regarding the shipping policy, some items ship via Fed Ex, some via UPS, depending on where the item is coming from. The shipping carrier used will be indicated once tracking is received in the shipping confirmation email. The shipping cost is calculated based on the dimensions and weight of an item, as well as how far it will travel to get to the customer and the speed of shipping chosen at checkout. In some cases, the product ordered will dictate the shipping speed. For example, chocolates must be shipped 2-day to preserve their quality. The shipping cost is simply passed to the customer.

"Ifonly.com" was a San Francisco-based e-commerce platform and charity venture. The company offered donation and charity solutions by connecting audiences with sports, cooking, film, and music personalities. It marketed itself as a seller of dreams and experiences, connecting individuals with luminaries. The platform offered experiences to its members with celebrities including Dale DeGroff, Joe Montana, Kobe Bryant, Michael Chiarello, Tyler Florence, Richard Branson, Andre Agassi, Madonna, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Greg Norman, John McEnroe, Thomas Keller, and Alice Waters. The company closed in late 2019 and was folded into Mastercard's "Priceless" experiences marketplace. The technology and team of IfOnly were brought in-house to help advance the Priceless strategy and deliver exclusive experiences for cardholders globally. The platform was known for offering access to exclusive, and often expensive, events and people, with a portion of the proceeds that a guest pays for the experience going towards good causes. However, the business had ground to a halt in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The company announced months ago that it would be pausing the availability of its experiences due to the COVID-19 situation. Despite the challenges, the platform had a significant impact on the experiences marketplace during its operation.

IfOnly.com offers a variety of unique experiences. Some examples include small private classes or tours that are only available as large group offerings elsewhere, in-home cooking classes where the chef comes to the guest, and workshops where guests receive 1-on-1 time with the instructor. There are also experiences that offer insider access to locations that are not open to the public, or occur in unusual locations like yoga on a rooftop or painting in a park. Businesses that do not usually offer classes to the public might offer experiences, such as a restaurant offering a cooking class with their head chef or a flower shop offering floral arrangement classes. Other unforgettable experiences include a private caviar party in California, a picnic in Central Park, or a wine tasting class in your home. These are just a few examples of the unique experiences that can be found on IfOnly.com.

To become a luminary on IfOnly.com, there are several requirements that need to be met. One of the key requirements is the ability to create unique experiences. Each listing should be unique and engaging. The content of the listing should be owned by the luminary.

Another important requirement is the quality of the videos uploaded to the listings. Videos should be 30-60 seconds long, engaging, and focus on the experience itself. They should be in HD quality (1280 x 720p or 1920 x 1080p), landscape orientation, well-lit, and not grainy or blurry. Videos should have little to no text overlay and should not include logos, watermarks, contact info, or websites on the video.

In terms of pricing, experiences in the $100-150 per person range are ideal as they appeal to a wider audience. However, the pricing can be changed as per the luminary's discretion.

Lastly, luminaries should be able to manage their IfOnly shop effectively, communicate with guests, confirm orders and schedule experiences, create itineraries, and handle rescheduling and cancellations.

Please note that these are just some of the requirements and there might be more specific requirements depending on the type of experience being offered. If the requirements are not met, the luminary might need to reach out to marketplace@ifonly.com for further assistance.
