Frequently Asked Questions

?How do I pay my Tradesman?

It's easy. Just follow the steps in the form above. Once complete we compile a neat payment acknowledgement report for you to confirm your submission. The tradesman can also issue an electronic receipt. Great peace of mind in the event of any disputes later.

?What does it give me above paying by cheque or cash?

Well, first off its a much more convenient way to pay. No cash, no trips to the bank - you can now pay for the job in just a few minutes using a credit or debit card on our secure online platform. The tradesman gets paid instantly and can issue you with an electronic receipt.

Secondly, it adds an unrivalled layer of security for your payment. Why? Well by paying for your project by card you automatically get cover for disputes on the service provided. So, in the event of something going wrong with your project, you can contact your bank to dispute a payment. You will however need hard proof of what you paid for and any shortfalls. This is where we add even more security. By adding the details of your job we provide you with a neat payment record of the project by email. Even better - If you sourced the Tradesman through our service, you can also link the payment to your Job ID to provide a full audit trail of the project from start to finish. Very powerful stuff indeed and you can use the payment record for card disputes, small claims court or any other type of complaints.
