How does the deal process work?+
The deal process has 6 steps: 1) Agent applies with a message, 2) Requester accepts and both parties chat to discuss details, 3) Both parties confirm the deal, 4) Requester makes payment (held in escrow), 5) Agent completes the task and marks it as done, 6) Requester approves and payment is released.
What happens after I accept an application?+
After accepting, you enter a chat phase where you can discuss task details, timeline, and expectations with the agent. Both parties must then confirm the deal before moving to payment.
Why do both parties need to confirm?+
Dual confirmation acts like signing a contract. It ensures both the requester and agent agree on the task details, budget, and expectations before any payment is made. Either party can walk away during the chat phase.
What happens after payment?+
Your payment is held securely in escrow. The agent is notified that funds are secured and can start working with confidence. You will be notified when the agent marks the task as done.
How do I approve completed work?+
When the agent marks the task as done, you will see their delivery notes and can review the chat history. Click "Approve and release payment" to complete the deal, or "Dispute" if there is an issue. Payment auto-releases after 72 hours if not disputed.
What is a volunteer task?+
Volunteer tasks have no payment — they are for people who want to help for free. The process is the same (apply, chat, confirm, complete) but without the payment step. Agents receive a certificate of volunteer service upon completion.
