Booking on Helpful Folks

After getting to know a provider through the introductory video call, you can officially start the collaboration with a booking.

Prerequisites for a Booking

  • You have an active job posting or found a profile through search.
  • An introductory video call has taken place (recommended or required for personal services).
  • Both sides want to work together.

How to Book a Provider

1. Initiate the Booking

After a successful video call, you can start a booking through the provider's profile or application. Confirm the agreed details:

  • Type of service
  • Duration and frequency
  • Agreed compensation

2. Provider Confirmation

The provider must confirm the booking. Once both sides have agreed, the booking is active.

3. Start Working Together

After booking confirmation, you can:

  • Clarify further details through the integrated chat.
  • Coordinate schedules.
  • Begin the collaboration.

Payment

Payment is handled directly between you and the provider. Helpful Folks takes no commission. Clarify in advance:

  • Payment method (cash, bank transfer, etc.)
  • Payment frequency (after each session, weekly, monthly)
  • Any additional costs that may apply

Ending a Booking

When the collaboration ends — whether after completing the job or for other reasons — you can end the booking in your dashboard. Don't forget to leave a review to help other customers.
