### In short
- In the order you enter the link to the profile or post and data according to the order form, never the password.
- The service starts only after payment, so check the link and profile settings before paying.
- A private profile on Instagram is only seen by approved followers, which can complicate delivery.
- If there is a delay, first check the link and frequently asked questions, then contact the seller in writing and keep the documentation.
- Instagram and Meta rules do not permit artificial acquisition of followers, so restriction of reach or account cannot be excluded.
Ordering followers involves five steps: you select the network and service, choose a package, enter a link to your profile or post, verify the details, and pay. The service starts only after payment. Your account password is never entered. Before paying, check the link, profile settings, and terms and conditions, as platforms do not allow the purchase of interactions and account restrictions cannot be ruled out.
### What should I prepare before ordering?
Three things are enough: a clear goal, the correct link, and a few minutes to read the terms. Without them, the order can easily go wrong even before payment.
- Goal. Clarify what you want to boost: your entire profile (followers), a single post (likes), or a video (views). Each type is a separate service.
- Link. Copy the profile or post link directly from the app (Share → Copy link). Manually typed usernames are the most common source of errors.
- Terms and frequently asked questions. Read them and check whether they state what processing time to expect and how complaints are handled. If not, ask the seller before paying.
The Czech Trade Inspection Authority recommends verifying for each online purchase that information about the operator is easily accessible on the website, and according to Czech Trade Inspection Authority recommendations for online purchases
to familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions in your own interest. A more detailed checklist can be found in the article how to choose a follower service
.
You enter: You never enter:
Link to your profile or specific post Password to your social media account
Other information requested by the order form Two-factor authentication codes (SMS or from the app)
Selected package and quantity Login via third-party app or account linking
### How does the order process work step by step?
The order is placed on the website and essentially consists of five steps: service, package, link, verification, payment. A detailed description can be found on the page how the order proceeds
, specific fields are determined by the order form.
- Select the network and service type , for example followers on Instagram or views on TikTok. Prices are listed in the price list and on the pages of individual services.
- Choose a package. For a new profile, it makes sense to start with a smaller quantity so that the number of followers does not get too far ahead of the engagement on your posts.
- Paste the link to your profile or post. Check that when opened in a browser, it actually leads to your account.
- Fill out the remaining information and verify it according to what the form requires. Before submitting, review the network, service, quantity, and link once more and read terms and conditions
; their section 3.3 states that platforms do not allow the purchase of interactions and account restrictions cannot be ruled out.
- Pay. The service starts only after payment, so it is easiest to correct a mistake in the link before payment.
You place the order itself on the page order
. In general, for any purchase on the internet, it is good to keep your proof of payment and all correspondence with the seller.
#### Why is a password never provided?
A password gives whoever knows it full control over the account: they can change the email, delete content or remove you from the account. No one needs it to deliver followers; a public link is sufficient. If anyone asks you for a password, a two-factor authentication code or login through their app, do not complete the order. If you suspect fraud or account takeover, follow the guidance of the given platform and report the case to the Czech Police.
### Must the profile be public when placing an order?
A private profile on Instagram shows content only to approved followers, so it is not accessible from outside. Check before payment whether frequently asked questions
state what profile setting is required; if not, ask the seller.
According to Instagram's help on private accounts
(as of November 2026):
- On a private account, only followers you have approved can see your content.
- Accounts of people under 18 years of age are private by default.
- A business account cannot be set as private; it must first be switched to a personal account.
- Privacy is changed in Settings → Account Privacy → Private Account toggle.
Menu item names may change with app updates; verify the current form directly in Instagram's help.
### What happens after payment?
After payment, the service will be launched for the profile or post you specified. Check the frequently asked questions to see if they list processing time and delivery speed, or ask the seller; we will not make estimates here.
A few simple principles will help during delivery:
- Do not change your username. The original link might then stop leading to your profile.
- Do not switch your profile to private and do not delete the post that the order is linked to.
- Do not submit the same link simultaneously to multiple sellers. Then you will not know what came from where, and complaints are difficult to prove.
- Continue with regular content. The number of followers alone will not retain anyone; what people find on the profile will.
### What to do if delivery is delayed?
First rule out an error on your side, then contact the seller in writing, and only then resolve the dispute through an authority or bank. Proceed in this order:
- Check the link , which you entered in the order: does it lead to the correct account, is the profile public, have you not changed your username?
- Check if the frequently asked questions list the processing time. If yes and it has not yet elapsed, wait a while.
- Write to the seller in writing (by email or through the contact listed on the website). Provide the information by which the order can be found, the link, and the payment date.
- Keep the correspondence and payment confirmation. You will need them if you do not reach an agreement.
- Out-of-court dispute resolution. The Czech Trade Inspection Authority conducts out-of-court consumer dispute resolution (ADR)
, i.e., seeking an agreement between a consumer and a business without going to court. To submit a proposal, you must provide evidence that you attempted to resolve the dispute with the business directly, and submit it no later than one year from the first assertion of your claim (as of November 2026).
- Payment by card. The ČOI in its recommendations for online purchases states that if paying by card, you can contact your bank with a request for a so-called chargeback, i.e., a transaction reversal.
This is general information, not legal advice. Verify your specific situation with the ČOI or a lawyer.
### What are the risks of buying followers?
Platform rules do not permit paid or inauthentic activity, so account or reach restrictions cannot be ruled out. This applies regardless of who or how you order from.
Instagram Community Guidelines
(as of November 2026) request not to artificially collect likes, followers, or shares and not to offer money in exchange for likes, followers, or comments. Meta's rules on inauthentic behavior
prohibit, among other things, artificially increasing content popularity and apply to both Facebook and Instagram. Other platforms have similar rules; check them in the help section of the platform you use.
The service's terms and conditions in Article 3.3 explicitly state that platforms do not permit the purchase of interactions and account restrictions cannot be ruled out. What buying followers does not do:
- they do not replace content that captures people's attention,
- do not guarantee audience interest, comments, reach, or sales,
- are not a path to meeting monetization conditions or profile verification,
- may worsen the engagement rate, i.e., the ratio of reactions (likes, comments, shares) to the number of followers.
### When paid promotion makes sense and when it does not?
The package can help as initial social proof (i.e. the impression that your profile is already of interest to someone) for a new profile with good and consistent content, or as a supplement to a specific campaign alongside your own work on posts. It makes no sense if the content is missing or weak, if you want to meet monetization or verification requirements, if the account has already received a warning or limitation, or if you are expecting sales and genuine audience reactions.
If after weighing the risks you want to continue, you can find services and their prices, for example, on the page followers on Instagram
, place your order on the order page, and before payment please review the frequently asked questions and terms and conditions.
### Frequently asked questions
#### Does a follower service need my Instagram or TikTok password?
No. To order followers, all you need is the link to the profile or specific post. Never share your password or two-factor verification codes with anyone and do not log in through third-party applications. If the seller asks you for your password or login code, take it as a warning sign and do not complete the order.
#### Can I order followers when I have a private account?
A private Instagram account is only visible to followers you have approved, so the profile content is not accessible from outside. Before you pay, check whether the service's FAQ indicates what profile settings are required for the order; if not, ask the seller. An Instagram business account cannot be set to private; it would first need to be switched to personal.
#### What should I do if the order does not start after payment?
First, check whether the link in the order leads to the correct profile and whether you have changed your username or account privacy in the meantime. Then check whether the FAQ indicates the processing time. If the stated time limit has passed or none is stated, write to the seller in writing, provide details to retrieve the order, and keep proof of payment.
#### Who should I contact if I cannot reach an agreement with the seller?
The Czech Trade Inspection Authority administers out-of-court consumer dispute resolution (ADR). The proposal must be accompanied by evidence that you first attempted to resolve the dispute directly with the entrepreneur, and must be filed no later than one year from the first assertion of the claim. For card payments, the Czech Trade Inspection Authority also mentions the option of asking your bank for a chargeback. This is not legal advice; verify your specific situation with a professional.
#### Will buying followers help me meet monetization or profile verification requirements?
You cannot rely on this. Meta's policies prohibit artificially inflating content popularity, and Instagram's community guidelines prohibit artificially collecting likes, followers, or shares. Purchased interactions are therefore not a way to meet monetization or verification requirements and may worsen the ratio of engagement to followers.
### Want to give your profile a head start?
Choose a package for your platform. We never ask for your password, the order takes two minutes and delivery starts after payment.
