Group pre-orders
A creator offers one product to several businesses, with a working demo and a feature list. It goes ahead only if enough businesses commit.
Items marked Demo are examples. Items marked Pilot are real posts from the pilot. Pre-ordering is for registered businesses and is a commitment, not a payment.
Products open for pre-order
How a group pre-order works
- Businesses pre-orderRegistered businesses press “Pre-order”. A pre-order is a commitment, not a payment.
- Goes ahead only if enough commitIf the minimum is reached by the closing date, each business pays its own price and the work order is issued. If not, nobody pays and it closes.
- Delivery is checked6164 first checks the delivery against the feature list, then each business confirms for itself (the usual 15-working-day rule).
- From 5 businesses, 6164 buys for the group6164 steps in as the single buyer; see the box on this page.
Three-working-day matching window
Once the conditions are met (the minimum is reached, or a creator offers to take the project), a 3-working-day matching window starts. Both sides can still choose each other or someone else; payment goes through the platform only when both are satisfied. If nothing is agreed, the lead business can extend once by 3 working days; otherwise it goes back to open. If the minimum is reached by the closing date, a 3-working-day matching window starts on that date.

From the 5th business: 6164 buys for the group
When the 5th business joins, 6164 steps in as the single buyer on behalf of all the businesses — one buyer to one seller. Ownership of the software is then shared by 6164 and the creator, and every business keeps its right to use it at the same price.
After that the creator keeps selling the product, but only on 6164, on the ordinary rules: the creator keeps the price and each side pays the 10% platform fee. 6164 takes no extra share, does not sell, license or change the product itself, and agrees in advance to every sale made on 6164. If 6164 stops running the platform, full ownership returns to the creator.
Payment is still held by the independent third-party provider — 6164 never handles the money. Subject to the written agreement.
Feature list delivery is checked against
6164 first checks the delivery against this list, then each business confirms for itself.
Launch trial: deliver first, pay after — there is no payment before delivery on group pre-orders.
