Cooperation can start in two ways: a provider applies to a requester's request, or a requester invites a provider. The intent enters a pending state for the other party to accept or decline in the account center.
Explains the two entry points for starting a cooperation, the status flow after submission, and key notes. LynHub does not assign orders or hold funds; cooperation is initiated and confirmed by the parties themselves.
Path 1: A provider applies to a request On the request detail page, click "Apply to cooperate", fill in the proposed service type, deliverables, collaboration budget (you may write "to be discussed"), and an intent note. The intent becomes "Pending" for the requester to accept or decline in the account center. Path 2: A requester invites a provider On the provider's public profile, click "Invite to cooperate", select one of your own requests, and fill in the service type, deliverables, budget, and an invitation note. The intent becomes "Invited" for the provider to accept or decline in the account center. Both paths require a service type and deliverables up front, which form the basis for confirming the service scope later.
1. Provider applies: the status is "Pending". The requester can accept or decline; the provider can withdraw before it is accepted. 2. Requester invites: the status is "Invited". The provider can accept or decline; the requester can withdraw the invitation before it is accepted. 3. After acceptance: the status becomes "Accepted". Both parties can confirm the service scope, then the requester can enable contact exchange, and the conversation continues. 4. Decline or withdrawal: the cooperation ends. No fee is incurred, and your account and public credit are not affected.
- A cooperation intent only records the intent to cooperate. LynHub does not hold funds and does not guarantee transaction results. - Scope, budget, deliverables, revision counts, payment method, and liability are confirmed by both parties, who should keep their own records. - Construction, safety, electrical, structural, fire, and gas matters are high-risk and must be handled by qualified professional providers, with on-site verification by a locally qualified professional before construction. - You cannot invite or apply to cooperate with yourself.
- Myth: being declined or withdrawing hurts your credit. Fact: decline and withdrawal only end the cooperation flow; they do not affect your account or public credit. - Myth: accepting cooperation means payment. Fact: acceptance only means both parties agree to continue talking; payment and acceptance of work are confirmed offline by the parties. - Myth: the platform assigns orders. Fact: LynHub does not assign orders; cooperation is initiated and confirmed by the parties themselves.
