Portfolio Discord card template

What a commission DM looks like without one

The usual opener is eight attachments, a Twitter handle, a Carrd, and a price sheet in a fifth message. The client scrolls, loses the price link, and asks for it again — or quietly leaves.

The problem is not the work. It is that Discord flattens every one of those links into a gray tile with no action on it, so the client has to do the sorting.

A component embed collapses that into one message. The gallery stays visible inside Discord, and the two things a buyer actually needs — see more, book me — are buttons on the card.

Build one in about four minutes

Start from the Portfolio template. Upload three or four pieces rather than everything you have; the card renders a gallery, and a scannable card converts better than a complete one.

Put your status in the title, not the body — “Mira Chen — commissions open” reads at a glance in a DM list. Save the description for medium and turnaround.

Point Hire me at whatever you already use to take bookings: a VGen listing, a Google Form, a Trello intake, your own site. Point Prices at the sheet. Every button needs an https URL; Discord drops http.

Editing after your slots fill

Change “commissions open” to “waitlist for October” on the same slug. Discord recrawls the URL on its own cache timer — about 30 minutes — and every message anyone already pasted updates itself.

That is the part a screenshot or a copied snippet cannot do. Clients who starred your message months ago still hold a link that tells the truth.
