The market you see on gigapoo.com runs on an engine, and the engine will run on your site too. Paste two lines and your website has verified people offering work, people asking for it, payment and payout — all handled. You bring the people and say what the market is for. Nothing up front: every six months Gigapoo bills a small percentage of the sales on your site — that is what keeps the engine alive.
<!-- anywhere on the page --> <script src="https://gigapoo.com/gigs.js" data-site="your-key"></script> <div id="gigs"></div>
Then: the market draws itself into that div, in your site’s colours, on your domain. Wanted and Offered, the seller’s page, the request, the bid, the checkout. No programmer needed — the directions are below.
Your name, a real telephone, the domain. We call you — nobody on the engine is anonymous, and that includes the site owners. You get a key.
One script tag and one div. The market renders in your page’s own fonts and colours. Nothing to host, nothing to build, no database of yours. Click-by-click directions for cPanel, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and GitHub.
Your sellers enrol through the widget on your site and the engine verifies them; your visitors post what they need. The engine keeps your site’s books — every sale, dated — and every six months sends you one bill on them.
Offered and Wanted side by side, jobs at a rate, and events with a price on the door — $5 at least — with a map of each. Free has no value here.
Attendees register once with a name, telephone, hometown, present location and a picture; the host sees it all, lets them in or bars them, and reaches them by text or email from their own phone. Approval opens a credit line, settled by ACH through achpay.com, no interest. Everyone is reviewed — 140 characters.
Every seller: full name, telephone, a photo, a phone call before they can sell. Every buyer of in-place work: the same. Real names on everything.
Work done over the wire needs a verified seller. Work done at an address needs both sides verified, the address confirmed, the money held until done, and a meeting record both can see.
A gig is paid by card through Stripe, up front, and held; the seller is paid by ACH through achpay.com after the buyer’s two-day window and absorbs Stripe’s fee. Event credit settles by ACH. Money never touches your site.
Every piece of work is dated, every seller carries their ratings with them. A seller you recruit who has sold elsewhere on the engine arrives with a record — and provably so.
The widget reads your page’s CSS. Your visitors never leave your site and never see our name unless you want them to.
The engine records every sale on your site. At the end of each half-year — June and December — Gigapoo sends you one bill on those books: 10% of the half’s sales, or 5% once the half’s sales pass $1,000. The more your market does, the lower the rate.
Event tickets are on the same books at a flat 5%. Due 30 days after the bill. A bill unpaid 180 days after it was issued switches the market on your site off — it comes back the day the bill is paid. That is the whole agreement; it is what keeps the engine alive for everyone on it.
| A half-year on your site | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sales recorded January–June, say | $800 |
| Your bill in July — under $1,000, so 10% | $80 |
| Sales recorded July–December, say | $4,200 |
| Your bill in January — over $1,000, so 5% | $210 |
Sellers and buyers pay flat fees on each sale ($10 from the buyer, $25 from the seller on written work, more for voice or a licensed opinion) — never a percentage of the seller’s price. Those go to the engine for the verification calls, the card, the payout and the record; they are not on your bill.
Every site on the engine is a different market with the same rules underneath. You set the purpose — a headline and a line under it — what kinds of work it takes, and the age floor. The widget dresses itself for it; the engine refuses what does not fit.
How Warrant Wire and 8K10Q run it: named people read filings and say what they see, in writing or in their own voice. Written, voice and own-voice work only. Sellers and buyers 18 or older; the engine checks the date of birth.
How gigapoo.com runs it: any task except illegal or dangerous, remote or in person. Sellers from 13 up; anyone under 18 has a parent or guardian on file, and we telephone them too.
Tell us the purpose on the form below. It can be changed later with one call to the desk.
Everything the widget does, it does through the same endpoints your own code can call — a native app, a page you designed yourself, a back office. Public reads need no key. A seller acts with the token issued at verification. A site acts with its key. JSON in, JSON out.
The full reference, with every field, is published with the engine at gigapoo.com/api.
The engine was built for these first. Every rule above came from running them.
You are going to open the page on your website where you want the market to appear, paste two lines into it, and save. That is the whole job. Here it is click by click, whatever your website is built with.
Your name, email, telephone, and your website’s address. Nothing else.
Every site owner gets a call before a key is issued — the same rule as for sellers. It takes a few minutes and usually happens the same day.
It looks like yoursite-com-4f9a2c1e. It is not a password; it just tells the market which site it is on. Keep the email — you will paste the key in a moment.

</body>: that is the bottom of the page and it always works.Not sure what your website is built with? Log in wherever you normally go to change it. If that place has a File Manager, you are on cPanel. If it has Posts and Pages down the left, it is WordPress. If you drag things around on a canvas, it is Wix or Squarespace.
On GoDaddy it is under My Products → Web Hosting → Manage; on most hosts it is a button that says cPanel. It opens a page full of icons.
File Manager.It is in the “Files” section, usually near the top. A window opens that looks like the folders on your computer.
public_html.That folder is your website. Everything the world sees is in here.
Your home page is index.html (or index.php). A page called “About” is usually about.html. If your pages are in a folder, open the folder.
See wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes in here? Then your site is WordPress — close this and follow the WordPress steps instead; they are easier.
Edit.A box may pop up about character encoding — just click Edit again. The page opens as text.
Press Ctrl+F (Mac: ⌘+F), type </body>, and you will be taken to the bottom of the page. Click on the empty line just above </body>. (Or click wherever on the page you want the market to appear.)
Ctrl+V, with your key in place of YOUR-KEY.
Save ChangesTop right. Then Close.
The market is on the page. If you see the old page, hold Shift and click reload — your browser was showing you the old copy.
At yoursite.com/wp-admin.
Pages → All Pages → click its name. Or Pages → Add New and call it “Market”.
Click the +, type custom html, and choose Custom HTML. (In Elementor or Divi, drag in the HTML / Code widget instead.)

The market needs room. Then Publish.
Click an insert point (the blue line), and choose Code.

The market is on the page. (Code blocks need the Business plan or above.)
Call it “Market”, or open an existing page.
<> button(Show HTML), paste the two lines with your key, click <> again.
Add the page to your menu under Navigation so people can find it.
Click the page file — index.html, or whichever page you want the market on.

Commit changesGreen button, top right; then Commit changes again in the box that appears. You can leave the message as it is.
Your host rebuilds the site from the repository on its own — Cloudflare Pages, Netlify and Vercel all do. Then open your site and reload.
In the right panel choose Embed → Embed code.
Click Next, then Insert. Stretch the box tall.
A light-blue panel with a yellow shield: “Real people, real names.” Under it, four buttons — Offered, Wanted, I need someone, Sell here. On a brand-new site the first two say nobody has posted yet; that is right — you bring the people. It looks exactly like the market on gigapoo.com, in your colours.
Nine times in ten the second line is missing or the two lines got separated. Both lines, first line first. Then hold Shift and reload.
The key is mistyped, or a space crept in. Copy it again from the email — no spaces, quotes exactly as in the two lines.
You pasted into a normal text box, not an HTML/code box. Every platform above has a code box; use that one.
The box you put it in has a fixed height (Wix and Google Sites do this). Drag the box taller, or set its height to “auto”.
Still stuck? Email [email protected] with your website’s address and the platform. A person answers, and if it is easier, we do it with you on the telephone.
We telephone every site owner before a key is issued — the same rule as for sellers. You will hear from a person, usually within a day.
