Frequently Asked Questions
26 straight answers about how GetLikes orders work, what we need from you, and what we do when something goes wrong.
Ordering and delivery
What we need from you, how long it takes, and what happens after you pay.
How does buying followers work?
You pick a package, type in your public username, and pay. We then send the order out to our delivery network, and new followers start landing on your profile. You never log in to anything and you never leave our checkout page. The same steps work for likes, views and subscribers, except you paste the link to the post or video instead of a username.
How long does my order take?
Most orders start within a few minutes of payment. Small packages usually finish the same day. Larger ones arrive a bit at a time over a longer window, because a count that jumps by ten thousand in one second looks exactly like what it is. If nothing has moved after an hour, message support with your order number.
What do you need from me to deliver an order?
For followers we need the @username on your profile. For likes and views we need the link to the post, reel or video. That is the whole list. We do not need your password, your email login, your phone number or a code from your account. Each post needs its own like order, so if you post a lot, look at our automatic likes plans instead.
Do I get a receipt after I pay?
Yes. We email a receipt as soon as your payment goes through. It has your order number, what you bought, and what you paid. Keep it, because the order number is the fastest way for support to find you. If the receipt has not arrived in a few minutes, check your spam folder before you write to us.
Can I order for someone else’s account?
No. Our terms of service limit orders to accounts you own, for personal use. Please do not buy followers or likes for a friend, a client, or an account you run for a business. Orders that break this rule can be cancelled without notice.
Safety and privacy
The honest version: what the real risks are, and what we do with your details.
Is buying Instagram followers safe?
It is safe as long as you never hand over your password. The danger in this market is not the followers, it is sites that ask you to log in. Give a stranger your login and they can lock you out, post as you, or sell the account. We only ever ask for your public username, so there is nothing for anyone to steal.
Do you ever need my password?
No. We never ask for your password, and you should never give it to any growth service. If a site asks you to sign in with your Instagram, TikTok or YouTube account, close the tab. Delivery only needs a public username or a public link. The only things we keep are your email address, your order details and the username or link you gave us. Our privacy policy page has the full list.
Is it legal to buy followers and likes?
Yes, it is legal. No law stops you from paying for followers, likes or views. It does break the terms of service of Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, though. So the risk sits with your account, not with the courts. We would rather tell you that plainly than pretend the rule does not exist.
Will I get banned for buying followers?
A ban for buying followers alone is rare. What the platforms normally do is delete the fake accounts, which shows up as your count dropping. That is why we refill for free. Nobody can promise you zero risk, and any site that does is not being straight with you. If your account is your income, weigh that up before you order.
Can people tell that I bought followers?
No one gets a notification about it. What gives it away is a profile that does not add up, such as 20,000 followers and six likes per post. Keeping your numbers in proportion is the fix. If you buy followers, buy some likes and views too so the profile reads normally.
Payments and refunds
How you can pay, and exactly when we give money back.
How can I pay?
You can pay by card, including Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Apple Pay works on supported devices. If you prefer crypto, we take that through Coinbase Commerce. Pick whichever is easiest for you at checkout. Every package is a single payment, so nothing renews on its own. Automatic likes work the same way: one payment covers your new posts for 30 days.
Is your checkout secure?
Yes. The page is encrypted, and your card details go straight to the payment provider. We never see or store your full card number. All we get back is a yes or no on the payment, plus the last few digits for your receipt.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, in the cases set out in our refund policy. We refund if we do not deliver inside the stated delivery time, if there is a material problem with what we sent, or if the product was not as described on the site. Ask within 7 days of buying.
How do I ask for a refund?
Write to support within 7 days of your purchase. Send your order number, the reason, and any screenshots that show the problem. We check the order against our delivery records. If it is approved, the money goes back to the card or wallet you paid with.
What is not covered by a refund?
Changing your mind after you buy is not covered. Nor are small differences that do not really affect the order, such as a count landing at 998 instead of 1,000. Things outside our hands are also excluded, like a platform changing its rules or restricting your account. If your count drops later, ask for a refill instead of a refund.
About the services
What you actually get for your money, and what it will not do.
Are the followers real people?
They are real accounts with photos and posts, not blank shells, so they look normal in your follower list. They are not your customers, though. They will not comment on your posts or buy what you sell. Anyone promising you paying fans for a few dollars is selling you a story.
Does buying followers actually work?
It works for one job: making your profile look established so real visitors take you seriously. People judge a page in about a second, and 4,000 followers reads very differently from 40. It does not write your posts or bring you sales. Think of it as a running start, not the whole race.
Which platforms do you cover?
Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. On Instagram we sell followers, likes, views, reels likes and views, and automatic likes. On TikTok we sell followers, likes and views. On YouTube we sell views, subscribers and likes.
How much does it cost?
1,000 Instagram followers cost $15.95. Smaller sizes cost less: 100 followers are $3.95 and 500 are $8.95. Bigger sizes cost less per follower, so 5,000 followers are $69.95. Likes and views are cheaper again, starting at $2.95 for 100. On TikTok, 100 followers are $3.95 and 1,000 views are $4.95. On YouTube, 1,000 views are $12.95 and 100 subscribers are $34.95.
Will the followers I buy drop off?
Some will. That happens with every provider, because the platforms clear out fake accounts in sweeps. If your count falls below the number you paid for, message us and we top it back up at no cost. That is what our refill guarantee is for.
Can I try it for free first?
Yes. We give away 50 free Instagram followers, 50 free Instagram likes, or 100 free reel views, with no card and no password. It is one free trial per person, confirmed with a code we email you. It is a sample, not a daily top-up.
Account help
The problems people write to us about most, and how to sort them out.
Does my account have to be public?
Yes. We cannot deliver to a private account, because our delivery network cannot see it. Switch your profile to public before you order. Once the order is finished you can switch it back to private if you want.
My order has not started. What should I check?
Check three things first. Is the account public? Is the username spelled exactly right? Is the post still up and visible to everyone? Those three cover most stuck orders. If all three look fine and an hour has passed, send support your order number.
I typed the wrong username. Can you fix it?
Message us straight away and we will change it if the order has not started yet. Once delivery is under way we cannot pull followers back off someone else’s profile. This is the one mistake worth double-checking before you pay.
My follower count went down. What now?
Ask for a refill. Send us your order number and the count you can see now. If it is below what you paid for, we top it back up for free. You do not need to buy anything again, and there is no charge for the refill.
How do I contact support?
Use the contact page or email support@getlikes.com. A real person reads it, seven days a week, and most replies go out within a few hours. Include your order number and it will be sorted much faster.
Still stuck?
If your question is not here, ask us. Write to our contact page with your order number and a real person will get back to you, seven days a week.
