Billing Components

Customer Checkout Architecture

Every home services job uses a structured digital billing breakdown to maintain transaction transparency. The customer checkout totals include:

01 / Standard Platform Fee

A standardized base platform fee applied to confirmed bookings to cover matching, SLA monitoring, and payment gateway costs.

02 / Base Service Charge

Configurable base diagnostic fees depending on categories, which are held in secure ledger pre-authorization prior to technician dispatch confirmation.

03 / Additional Materials

Site repair parts or additional tools required, approved dynamically via operations and authorized digitally before final job completion.

Material Reimbursement

Controlled Material-Cost Approval

To prevent unauthorized direct cash transactions and off-platform pricing bypass, all extra work or materials must go through an approved additional-cost workflow:

Vendor Inspection: Technician logs materials needed + uploads photo receipts.
Admin Validation: Operations console checks price against market averages for controlled material-cost approval.
Customer Approval: Customer confirms the quote via their mobile app for approved material reimbursement.
Digital Checkout: Additional payment is authorized online, releasing the job for completion.

Price Caps:Admin-Configurable limits
Tax Compliance:Standardized Invoices generated automatically
Revenue Splits

Rules-Based Platform Commissions

Platform commissions apply exclusively to service values and are structured dynamically according to business packages or capability levels. Materials and third-party tools are excluded from commission deductions:

Service Commissions

A percentage applies solely to diagnostic fees and service charges.

Zero Materials Commission

Spare parts and tool costs are passed to the vendor net payout without platform commission overrides.

Configurable Matrix

Adjustable commission tiers allow administrators to reduce fees for premium subscriber vendors.

Accounting Control

Vendor Ledger & Platform Settlement Ledger

The platform settlement ledger traces gross bookings, commissions, adjustments, and holding states for every vendor ledger to maintain accounting integrity:

Quality Guarantee

The Staged Quality Hold Lock

To defend client quality and protect against premature vendor churn, the platform holds payouts during staged quality assurance periods. This ensures funds are available if complaints or quality failures occur during the rework window:

Dispute Safeguards

If a rework ticket is approved during the initial customer dispute review slot, the payout quality hold release is frozen until the revisit checks close.

Financial Hold Controls

Operations maintains settlement control over all released internal payout balance items, verifying compliance status before bank transfers are triggered.

Payout Pipeline

Settlement Transfer Lifecycles

01 / PENDING HOLD

Payout amount locked during initial review window.

02 / STAGED QUALITY HOLD

Vendor ledger balance held in quality reserve for coverage guarantee.

03 / ELIGIBLE RELEASE

Quality hold expired. Balance approved for payout queue batching.

04 / BANK CLEARED

Batch transfer finalized via secure banking gateway.

Audit Integrity

Auditing & Reconciliation Readiness

Compliance Export Registry

The platform generates immutable platform settlement ledger records containing customer payment IDs, checkout values, documentation references, matching job IDs, vendor IDs, and bank settlement batch IDs. Administrators can export audited records directly to corporate accounting systems.
