Task payments

Know where the money
is at every step.

The poster sees the tasker’s quote, platform commission and full amount before funding. The tasker starts only after the payment provider confirms funds.

The platform commission is currently 10% and is shown before you fund. Payments run through a simulated provider in this environment, so no real money moves.
1. Offer acceptedPoster sees and confirms the quote, commission, total, scope and cancellation terms.
2. Funding confirmedOnly a signed/server-verified provider status changes the task to funded. Do not trust screenshots or a browser redirect.
3. Funds reserved for the taskUse a provider-managed marketplace payment flow and an auditable ledger. Show payment, reservation and refund statuses clearly.
4. Work and completionTasker submits completion. Poster approves, requests changes, or opens a dispute within the published window.
5. Payout or refundApproval triggers the provider payout to the verified beneficiary. A dispute pauses only the affected amount while reviewed.

Never pay outside the task

Keep task price changes, payments and receipts on-platform. Do not send a separate advance to a personal UPI ID or share a PIN or OTP.

Wallet design needs review

The current screen is a funding step, not a live cash wallet. If balances are stored, transferable or redeemable, classify the model with Indian payments counsel and a qualified payment partner before building it.
