Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to upload my passport or driving license?

You are uploading this information to Stripe, so they can validate you, which in turn builds trust for potential customers. This enhances the payment framework and yourself as a result, building another tier of trust and reputation inside our marketplace.

What is the difference between a gig and a job?

A gig is a pre-defined task (or set of tasks) that has a specific expected outcome. On the gig exchange, it is FREE to list a gig under the services section. Services are fixed price or negotiable. Workers are selected based on services, availability, reputation & price. The money is withheld independently through our leading global Payment provider Stripe escrow account. Payment is only released upon satisfactory completion. Feedback is given by both parties to build marketplace reputation. A job is an advertisement listing the general requirements and services expected of a worker. Job advertisements are for permanent or contract based work (hourly rate).On the gig exchange, the job advertisements are FREE and listed under the Jobs section.

What methods of payment are supported?

We support visa/mastercard debit or credit cards only. See pricing page for more info Or go to our Help Centre pay section for more info on pay in general.

If I get introduced to someone via the gigexchange, should I complete all work through them in the future?

This is your choice. If you wish to use us simply for establishing trust with new relationships then take them off-platform once established, we are happy with that. We do not want our customers to feel like hostages. When you need a new relationship, we will be here for you again.

Can I report offensive or harassing behaviour?

Yes, we take very seriously any behaviour that is threatening, violent, aggressive or harassing. We recommend all communication is through our chat portal, so we have an audit of this. Please contact us through our contact page.
