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.
