Frequently Asked Questions

Onlure is an AI-powered creator matchmaking platform based in Toronto that connects local businesses with influencers. Businesses can browse, message, and book creators directly with zero commission fees. Creators keep 100% of their earnings with direct booking, messaging, and verified analytics from Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Businesses describe their needs or paste their website URL, and Onlure's AI analyzes their brand to recommend the best local creators. The AI searches across niche, location, budget, availability, engagement rate, content type, and more — returning ranked results instantly. It's free to use and requires no signup.

Onlure is currently focused on the Greater Toronto Area, including neighborhoods like Queen West, Kensington Market, and Yorkville. We also serve campus communities at UofT, TMU, and OCAD. Expansion to Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary is planned for 2026.

Onlure is free to sign up. Businesses pay only the creator's negotiated rate plus a 1.5% insurance fee that funds the 100% satisfaction guarantee. There are no subscription fees, no agency fees, and no hidden costs.

Yes. Every booking on Onlure includes a 100% reimbursement guarantee. If you're not satisfied with a creator collaboration, Onlure covers the full cost with no questions asked. This is funded by the 1.5% insurance fee on each booking.

You can browse creators manually using filters (niche, location, budget, availability, platform) or use the Onlure AI assistant. Tell the AI what your business needs — like "I run a ramen shop in Queen West and need a foodie creator under $200" — and it returns ranked matches instantly.

No. Onlure charges zero commission to creators. When a brand pays you $1,000, you receive $1,000. The platform funds itself through a 1.5% insurance fee charged to the business, not the creator.

No. Onlure has zero follower requirements. Whether you have 500 followers or 500,000, you can sign up and start connecting with brands immediately. We believe influence is about engagement and authenticity, not arbitrary follower counts.

Yes. Onlure aggregates your Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube analytics into one free dashboard. Track follower growth, engagement rates, best performing content, audience demographics, optimal posting times, and more — all at no cost.

Link your Interac or Stripe payment method in your dashboard. Creators with verified payment methods are automatically featured in the "Onlure Featured" section on the homepage. Also complete your full profile — bio, portfolio, social links, rates, and availability — to rank higher in search results.

Onlure supports Stripe (credit/debit cards) and Interac e-Transfer via Wise — Canada's two most popular payment methods. Payments are secure, transparent, and processed quickly. Creators choose their preferred payout method.

When a business pays via Interac, the funds are held securely. Once the booking is completed and approved, Onlure sends the creator's payout via Interac e-Transfer through Wise. Creators keep 100% of their negotiated rate with zero payout fees.
