The Kontraktr marketplaces, explained
An overview of the three Kontraktr marketplaces — KreatorHub™, AssetLab™, and LoKator™ — and how they work together inside Kontrol OS™.
Three marketplaces, one home
Kontraktr gives you three marketplaces, all built into Kontrol OS™ so you never leave your shop's workspace. Each one solves a different need: KreatorHub™ is for commissioning custom creative work, AssetLab™ is for licensing ready-made designs and assets, and LoKator™ is for hiring trusted local print shops to help with overflow. You reach all three from the Marketplaces menu inside Kontrol OS™.
KreatorHub™ — commission custom work
When you need original artwork, color separations, embroidery digitizing, or other made-to-order creative work, KreatorHub™ connects you with vetted artists. You post what you need, review bids and portfolios, and hire the artist who fits. Payment is held safely until the work is delivered on brief.
AssetLab™ — license ready-made assets
AssetLab™ is for work you don't need built from scratch. Browse and license print-ready designs, fonts, mockup templates, and art packs you can use right away. You can also generate brand-new artwork with DNA Studio™. License a single asset when you need it, or subscribe for ongoing access.
LoKator™ — hire a local print shop
When a run is bigger than your shop can take on, LoKator™ helps you find and hire trusted print shops near you. Post the job, compare bids from local shops, and hire with a guarantee that protects the work.
One wallet, one protected checkout
All three marketplaces share a single Kontraktr wallet, so your balance, payouts, and payment methods stay in one place. Marketplace work that should be protected — commissioned jobs on KreatorHub™ and hired jobs on LoKator™ — is held safely until the work is delivered and you approve it, so both sides are covered.
