💰Pricing & Payments

How much does it cost to use OnDemand Market? +

There's no cost to browse or create an account. You only pay for the services you book. Each professional sets their own rates, which are displayed upfront before booking. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges - what you see is what you pay.

What payment methods do you accept? +

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. All payments are processed securely through our encrypted payment system, and your financial information is never shared with service providers.

When am I charged for a service? +

Payment is authorized when you book, but you're only charged after the service is completed. If you need to cancel or reschedule, you can do so according to the professional's cancellation policy without being charged. For subscription services, you're billed on your scheduled renewal date.

What is your refund policy? +

We stand behind every service with our Satisfaction Guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the work, report it to us within 48 hours. We'll work with the professional to resolve the issue or provide a full refund. Most issues are resolved within 24 hours of reporting.

You run your business, we just help you grow it.

🛡️Safety & Trust

Every professional goes through our rigorous verification process including background checks, license verification, insurance confirmation, identity verification, and skills assessment. We also continuously monitor performance through customer reviews and ratings to ensure quality standards are maintained.

Are professionals insured? +

What if I'm not satisfied with the service? +

Your satisfaction is our priority. Contact us within 48 hours if you're unhappy with any aspect of the service. We'll review your concern, mediate with the professional if needed, arrange for the work to be corrected, or provide a full refund. We're here to make it right.

How does the rating system work? +

After each completed service, customers rate their experience on quality, professionalism, communication, and value. These ratings are verified and cannot be removed. Professionals with ratings below 4.0 are placed on probation or removed from the platform to maintain our quality standards.
