Fiverr Packages Explained: How to Set Up Basic, Standard and Premium
Basic, Standard and Premium only work when each tier has a different job. This guide explains Fiverr's package rules, the fields each package needs, and the standardised-category minimums.
One price forces a buyer into a yes-or-no decision. Three packages — Basic, Standard and Premium — turn that into a choice about how much they want, which is a much easier decision to make. Fiverr’s Help Center describes Gig packages as a pricing structure that lets clients “order exactly what they need in one click” and ensures “everyone is aligned on scope before the order begins.” This guide explains how to set the three tiers up so each one has a clear job. If you are still creating the Gig itself, begin with our complete beginner’s guide to creating your first Gig.
Highlights
- Up to three tiers: packages let you offer up to three service levels that clients can compare side by side and choose in one click.
- Each package needs: a name, a description, a price and a delivery time, plus its scope, revisions and extras.
- At least one revision per package is required, and prices start from $5 — some categories set higher minimums.
- Standardised categories exist: in certain categories Fiverr sets minimum scope and pricing you must meet to keep the Gig active and visible.
- Packages do not change the fee: Fiverr’s standard service fee applies to all packages, and packages do not affect your ratings.
How packages work on Fiverr
You switch packages on in the Pricing section of the Gig creation or editing flow — Fiverr’s instructions are to click the “3 Packages” toggle, then set the scope, revisions and extras for each package and add a name, description, pricing and delivery time for each one. Each tier can include a different scope of work, a different number of revisions and different extras, and clients can add further upgrades at checkout. Fiverr separates two kinds of add-on: upgrades, which are predefined factors a client can add to a selected package at checkout, and extras, which are unique add-ons you offer separately and cannot build into a package. And two reassurances from the same page: the standard service fee applies to all packages, and packages do not affect your ratings.
Give each tier a different job
The most common beginner mistake is three packages that are the same Gig at three prices. Buyers cannot choose between tiers that differ only in cost, so they either pick the cheapest or leave. Each tier should answer a different buyer’s situation:
- Basic — the smallest complete version. Everything the buyer needs for the core result, nothing more: the main deliverable, standard delivery time, the minimum sensible revisions. Basic must still be a finished product — a crippled Basic that nobody can actually use only produces bad first orders.
- Standard — the complete version most buyers want. The core result plus the extras clients most often ask for: source files, an additional format or concept, more revisions, faster delivery. Build Standard around what real buyers request, and price it as the option you expect to sell most.
- Premium — everything, plus speed and support. The full scope, the most revisions, the fastest delivery you can honestly sustain, and any high-effort extras. Premium also anchors the other two: its existence makes Standard look reasonable.
Change one or two clear variables per step — scope, revisions, delivery time, extras — so a buyer scanning the comparison table can see exactly what the extra money buys. Fiverr’s own naming advice is to keep package names simple and descriptive, highlighting what makes each tier distinct.
The fields you must get right
- Price: packages can start from $5, up to the maximum for the tier — but see the standardised minimums below before you price at the floor.
- Revisions: Fiverr requires at least one revision option per package. Creative and customised work usually deserves more in the higher tiers; whatever you promise here is what buyers will hold you to.
- Delivery time: set times you can meet on a bad week, not a good one — late delivery damages the metrics that decide your seller level. If faster delivery is a Premium feature, it must genuinely be faster.
- Description of each package: one or two lines stating who it is for and what changes at this tier. Do not rely on the Gig description to explain your packages — write your Gig description to complement the table, not repeat it.
Standardised categories: when Fiverr sets the floor
For certain categories, Fiverr requires standardised packages: minimum service scope and minimum prices that every Gig in the category must meet to stay active and visible. Examples from Fiverr’s own table include Full App Creation in Mobile Apps at a $100 minimum, Full Website Creation under WordPress at $80, Data Science full projects at $80, and AI Artists at $15. If your Gig is in a standardised category, review the requirements before editing, fill in all mandatory fields, and act on dashboard notifications promptly — Fiverr gives you 30 days to make required changes, after which the Gig may lose visibility. Missing required fields can also reduce your Gig’s visibility in search. And when a client’s request genuinely falls outside your packages, the answer is not to distort the packages: send a custom offer at the agreed price, which sits outside the standardised structure.
A quick setup checklist
- Packages toggled on in the Pricing section; each tier has a name, description, price and delivery time.
- Basic is a complete, usable result — not a teaser.
- Standard contains the extras your buyers most often ask for.
- Premium adds real scope, speed or support — not just a higher number.
- At least one revision in every package; delivery times you can keep.
- Standardised category? Minimum price and mandatory elements checked against Fiverr’s table.
