Same-day pay is our promise — customer satisfaction is the key that unlocks it. Here is exactly how the money flows, step by step.

How it works

1

Customer books & pays

The full amount is charged when the booking is confirmed and held securely by Stripe — the Helper sees the job is fully funded before starting.

2

Helper completes the job

After finishing, the Helper marks the job as completed in their dashboard. The customer is notified immediately.

3

Customer confirms

The customer confirms the job was done as agreed — one click. No reaction? The payment is released automatically after 72 hours unless a dispute is opened.

4

Same-day payout

Once confirmed, the earnings (minus the flat 15% fee) are credited instantly. Payout requests made before 17:00 CET are processed the same day.

The satisfaction gate

We only release money for work that was actually delivered. That protects customers — and it protects Helpers too, because a confirmed job can no longer be charged back through us. Three things can happen after a Helper marks a job complete:

⚠️ Customer opens a disputePayout paused, our team reviews within 10 business days under the Payment Protection PromiseAfter resolution
For Helpers: ask your customer to hit “Confirm” right when you finish — that’s the fastest path to same-day money. Completed and confirmed jobs also boost your ranking.
For Customers: confirming promptly is how you thank a great Helper — and disputes are there if something’s genuinely wrong. Never pay outside the platform: off-platform payments have zero protection.

Payout methods

Helpers can withdraw earnings via PayPal, bank transfer or Payoneer from a balance of just $5. Requests submitted before 17:00 CET on business days are processed the same day; later requests go out first thing the next morning.
