Yes, Mintor is free to use. All features including product posting, Q&A, and consultation services are available for free. Fees only apply when consultation services or Mint (tips) are transacted.

Mintor supports two login methods: "Google login" and "email + password." You can switch between them later, or use both. From "Settings" in My Page, you can add a password to a Google login, add Google login to an email + password account, or stop using Google login and keep only email + password.

Go to My Page → Consultation Services → Create Service. Set your service details, pricing, and available times. Complete Stripe Connect setup to receive payments. Google Calendar integration is available for booking management.

The fee for receiving Mint is 10% + ¥30. During campaigns, the ¥30 system fee is waived. Senders do not pay any fees.

After the campaign ends, standard system fees will apply: Consultation 15% + ¥100, Mint 10% + ¥30. The campaign end date will be announced in our notifications.

The Mintor team sometimes gives "Support Power" as a thank-you or as part of a campaign. You can use it to send support badges. It is not money, so it cannot be cashed out, and it does not count toward your rank (total contribution).

There are two ways to sign up: (1) log in with your Google account, or (2) register with an email address and password. Choose from the "Login" button at the top right of the page. If you register with email and password, open the link in the confirmation email to finish signing up. Either way, your profile is created automatically on first login.

If you log in with email and password, you can change your password from "Settings" in My Page. For security, you'll be asked to confirm your current password. Your new password must be at least 8 characters and include uppercase and lowercase letters, a number, and a symbol. If you only use Google login, first set a password via "Add a password," and you'll then be able to log in with email and password too.

Go to My Page → Settings → Revenue Settings to create a Stripe Connect account. You'll need ID verification and bank account information. Once set up, you can receive earnings from Mint and consultation services.

Support Power is your remaining balance of usable points. It increases through your activity and gifts from the Mintor team, and decreases when you send support badges. Your rank is based on your total contribution from all your activity so far; gifts from the Mintor team are not included. For both, points are subtracted when you delete an article or product, or when a payment is refunded.

From "Reset password" on the login screen, we'll send a reset link to your registered email address. Open the link and set a new password to log in again (you don't need to know your current password). If the email doesn't arrive, please also check your spam folder.

You can change your registered email address from "Settings" in My Page. Enter the new address and a confirmation email will be sent to it; open the link in that email to complete the change (depending on settings, a confirmation email may also be sent to your current address). The change doesn't take effect until you open the link. If you also use Google login, changing this address does not affect your login method.

Yes. You can set one from "Add a password" in "Settings" on My Page. For verification, you'll enter a 6-digit code sent to your registered email, and then set your password. After that, you can log in with email + password in addition to your existing Google login.

Yes. You can unlink Google from "Settings" in My Page. Since unlinking disables Google login, you must first set a password via "Add a password" to avoid getting locked out. You'll be asked to enter your password to confirm when unlinking. Your account data, such as posts and Mint, is carried over.

Yes. From "Settings" in My Page, you can link a Google account to your account. Once linked, you can log in with Google in addition to email + password. You can link a Google account that isn't already used by another Mintor account.

To make your portfolio public, first set a slug (part of the public URL) in My Page, enter the required information and save. Also, make sure the public setting is turned on.

You can delete your account from the account settings page. Once deleted, you can no longer log in and this cannot be undone. Your profile and posts will no longer be visible to others, and your comments and reviews remain under the name "Deleted user". Earnings you have not yet received will still be paid on the 10th of each month. You cannot delete your account while you have bookings in progress or a session pack that can still be used, so please complete or cancel the bookings and use up the pack first.
