  • person Sign up (User registration and organization creation)

    On Requestland, every user belongs to one or more "organization(s)." You can either create a new organization yourself or join an existing one created by someone else.

    An organization is like a home. For example, if you are in an organization with family or friends, users within the organization can share data such as requests, Comparators, notes, and shared files, and enjoy shopping together. You can also create your own organization and use it alone.

    In a company organization that sells products, you can add employees as users of the organization and work together.

    To join an existing organization, ask the organization's administrator for a URL or QR code for adding you. You don't need the following registration procedure. Refer to "Join an existing organization" for more detail.

    To create your user account and organization, press the "Sign up" button at the top of the Requestland web app (this button will not appear on devices where you have already signed in). Then press "Register a user and create your own organization" or "Register a user and create a seller organization." A page like the one below will open.

    Entering name and birthday Entering Name and Birthday

    For secure purchasing and selling, please enter official information. The language of the name (such as English) should match the identification document. To avoid troubles and being mistaken for fraud, entering unofficial information is prohibited. You can set a nickname in your Public profile after signing in.

    The birthdate will be used to verify your identity when re-registering a passkey (an alternative to passwords). Please do not enter a name or birthdate that differs from your identification document.

    Specify the country of issuance of your identification document or your primary residence. Please correct if the default value is incorrect. The languages and currencies used for Requests, the Comparator, and Notes are set based on this country, but you can add or change them in"User Information" after signing in.

    Enter an email address where you can receive a confirmation email. You will receive notifications about new messages, abuse of your user account, changes in user information, and more. Additionally, email verification is required when recreating a passkey. After signing in, you can set whether to display notifications and whether to receive them by email on the "Notification, email" settings.

    Diagram of organization information Enter Organization Information

    Enter the organization’s name, country, and type. If the organization will be engaged in sales or provide things for a fee, turn on "This organization sells". Specify the country where the organization's headquarters is located. For sales organizations, specify the country where the headquarters is located and where documents for verifying organization information are issued. Please correct if the default value is incorrect.

    The fees for Paid options are adjusted according to the cost of living in each country, so the fees will vary depending on the country specified. Also, the country code included in the Land ID shown below indicates the country specified here. If you specify a country different from the one where the organization's headquarters is located, it will be considered fraudulent and subject to penalties.

    If you have an unused coupon code for Requestland, please enter it. If you obtain a coupon code later, you can also enter it from the "Usage and options" menu in the organization settings menu.

    Entering Land ID Enter Land ID

    On Requestland, the user ID used for sign-in and messages is called "Land ID." It is in the format of "name//land-domain-name", such as "hirano-happy//peace-motors". Enter your organization's brand or preferred text in the Land domain name field and press "Check availability."

    Selecting Land Domain Name Selecting Land domain name

    As shown below, choose one of the available Land Domain Names that match the entered text.

    happy-motors-43333-jp
    Free: Random numbers and country code are appended. Sales organizations can sell only within the country.
    happy-motor-jp
    Country: Country code is appended. Sales organizations can sell only within the country.
    happy-motors
    Global: Sales organizations can sell worldwide.
    happy-motors
    Wildcard: Sales organizations can sell worldwide. It also reserves Land domain names starting with specified characters. For example, //toyotan reserves //toyotan-germany so others cannot take it.

    The amount is the monthly fee for using the specified Land domain name in the organization, which is the main operating cost of Requestland. The more characters and the less frequent the words, the cheaper it becomes. Characters that resemble country codes cannot be appended. This fee does not change even if the number of users in the organization increases.

    It is on a first-come, first-served basis. If another company or person takes your brands, you won't be able to transfer them. Since it is not related to Internet domain names, owning internet domain names do not affect this. We recommend securing your brands for your organization (and also your position!) as soon as possible. After signing in, you can also secure additional Land domain names in "Usage and options" in the organization settings menu.

    Land domain names similar to existing trademarks cannot be taken. A trademark is a system where, for example, if someone registers the text "Great car" in your country under the "car" category, others cannot use that text for the same category of business in that country. A slightly different text like "Greaty car" may be considered infringement if the impression is the same. For Global or Wildcard Land domain names, it is necessary that there are no existing trademarks in the category of business you are operating in across all countries.

    Please search Global Brand Database in advance and exercise caution to avoid infringement. You can refer to Internet Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.

    Note that the transfer of Land domain names and organizations is prohibited. Peace and Passion will not be responsible for any disputes related to Land domain names.

    The fees change slightly and monthly due to domestic price fluctuations (inflation) and exchange rates. The fee for Country is adjusted according to the cost of living in each country, so it is higher in rich countries and lower in less rich ones.

    Next, enter the Land name part representing you personally. For organizations like companies, names including last names and first names are appropriate.

    Image of Paid Option switch Paid option switch

    Most features on Requestland are available for free, but if you use more than the Free tier, you will need to turn on Paid options.

    There is no monthly fee per user, and it is a pay-as-you-go system based on usage exceeding the free tier. While services like $8 per user per month are common, Requestland can be started for as low as 80 cents per month for the entire organization. Press "Fees for your country" to view the list of fees.

    Additionally, when turned on, you can use the free and fun "Theming with colors and title" and "Expert mode" to have multiple projects. If you stay within the free tier, no charge will occur.

    The usage fees are adjusted according to the cost of living in each country; it is higher in rich countries and lower in less rich ones. They change slightly and monthly due to domestic price fluctuations (inflation) and exchange rates.

    Important: For companies and organizations, many countries have legal or internal regulations that require the retention of transaction and access logs for about 3 to 7 years. Please enable Paid options and activate the Security management option. Logging will begin, and auditing will be possible. You can also disable the Security management option later. Depending on the settings on the "Security" page, logs can be retained from 1 year to 10 years, with charges based on the amount of logs stored. The default retention period is 5 years.

    Passkeys are encrypted digital keys. You can sign in using your Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN without needing a password. There's no need to remember a password, and it's more secure against theft. You only store the public key parts of your passkeys to the Requestland server. Passkeys are supported on relatively new devices that meet conditions such as being logged in with an Apple ID (iCloud), Google ID, or Windows Hello, and having screen lock enabled. Passwords have been discontinued.

  • cloud_circle Shared files

    The users of an organization can share files such as images, videos, and PDFs in the Shared files.

    For example, photos used in a doumo is stored in the Shared files, and they can use them in other purposes such as notes.

    The amount of the Shared files is accumulated per organization, and can be checked on "Options and quotas" on the Organization settings. Once the usage exceeds the free tier, you will not be able to add more. In that case, please purchase the optional file storage.

    The list of Shared files is displayed on a project-by-project basis. If you want to display files in other projects in the list, press the search button search in the file list and select "All items in your organization".

    You can crop and adjust brightness when you upload an image file. The original file is not saved. Files cannot be edited once uploaded.

    From the file page, you can make files public. Anyone who knows the URL can access the public files.

    If you attach files to public data such as Doumo or requests, those files will be in a public state.

    When you make a public file private or delete it, it will take some time for the URL to become invalid.

    When you delete a project, all files in that project will move to your organization.

    The maximum size of a file is 1GB.

    Your files are stored in three or more physically separate locations, often across data centers on three different continents.

    Shared files cannot be deleted during the log duration. To delete expired shared files, open the Shared Files list in the organization menu, sort by creation time, and then delete eligible files.

  • Manage passkeys

    When you create a passkey, the private key part of the passkey is stored on your device(s), and the public key part is stored on the Requestland server. These are generally referred to collectively as a passkey, but depending on the context, it's important to distinguish between the passkey on your device(s) and the passkey on the Requestland server. If you delete one, you must delete the other as well.

    The device's passkey is managed through the device's password manager. On devices that support passkey synchronization, such as Apple, Android, and Chrome, deleting the passkey from the device will delete it from all devices.

    Android: Settings -> Passwords & Accounts -> Google Password -> request.land

    iOS: Settings -> Passwords -> request.land

    The server's passkey is managed through the Passkeys option in the user settings menu.

    Passkey list image Passkey List

    The passkey list shows the passkeys you have. You can sort the list by clicking the header and filter by clicking items within each row.

    Click the icon to view details.

    If you want to delete a passkey, press the edit button. Select the row and click the delete delete button. You cannot delete the passkey currently used for sign-in.

    Even if the passkey remains on the device's sign-in screen, you won't be able to sign in if the server's passkey is deleted.

  • safety_check Sign-in history
    Sign-in history

    To view your sign-in history (logs), go to the user settings menu and press the safety_check Sign-in History button. As the list is long, you may need to scroll horizontally or turn your device sideways.

    Logs are saved for 24 hours. With the Security management option, records can be kept for up to 10 years.

    Pressing on a table header will sort the table in ascending or descending order. Pressing on a value will display only the rows containing that value. Pressing multiple values will perform AND searches. String search places a very high load on the server, so please try to use the table values for searching whenever possible.

    The Method column of the table represent the following actions. Note that searches are not recorded. Failed actions are marked as "Failed" in the Success column. If an action is performed by someone other than the user, the operator’s Land name is displayed in the Operator column.

    Press the description button to display log details and data content. In read or delete logs, it displays the data that the user was supposed to see. The data itself is not saved in the refer logs; instead, it shows the last saved data before the refer action. If the log is deleted and cannot be found, it will display "Referencing data is out of log range".

    Things to watch out for

    If there is a lockout for passkey creation from a completely unknown location

    Someone attempted to generate a passkey using your LandID. They read the identity verification email and tried to register the passkey from the link provided, but since the birthday didn’t match, RequestLand temporarily stopped the passkey creation. Someone might be trying to hijack your account. It's highly likely your email account password has been compromised, so you should change your email account password. (10 billion passwords leaked online)

    If there is an OK for passkey creation or sign-in from a completely unknown location

    Your birthday and email account password have been leaked, and your user account has been hijacked. Delete any unfamiliar passkeys on the passkey page from the user settings. Also, you should change your email account password. (10 billion passwords leaked online)

  • delete Leave the organization and delete the user account

    For instructions on how to leave Requestland, please refer to Delete organization / Withdraw from RequestLand.

    Even if your user account is deleted, the data you created will remain. The associated Land IDs and Land Names will also remain. Regarding your name, some data will be labeled as "Deleted user" while other data may retain your name. Please delete any necessary data as needed.

  • wifi_off Offline use (beta testing)

    By "Install Requestland app on the home screen", you can use the Requestland app even when offline.

    Example: Even when you lack an internet connection, such as during travel, you can still access your Comparators.

    Conditions and limitations for offline use:

    • Within the app on that device, you can only view lists and items that the last accessed user opened within the past 7 days.
    • Functions like sign-in, sign-out, user switching, editing, adding, or deleting items, and clearing unread badges are not available.
    • Due to device updates, restarts, or the device's automatic file management, there might be instances where you can't view lists or items even if they were accessed within the past 7 days.
  • free_breakfast Short break, open and close time

    ​​Requestland is a place for people to interact each other. It is necessary to match the activities with other persons. So, there is a seven-minute break every hour and a nighttime closure, as health could be compromised if you don't take a proper break.

    For health and well-being, Requestland closes at approximately 7:30 PM for sellers and closes at 10:00 PM for requesters. It opens at 7:00 AM in the morning. Because the opening and closing occur according to the rotation of this planet, the actual time depends on your location.

    Sellers may close their business much earlier than Requestland does. You may not hear from them until the next business day or later.

  • check_circle_outline When the application is unstable
