💳 How Payments Work with Stripe

Prosfora uses Stripe Connect, the same payment infrastructure trusted by Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb.

🔁 Payment Flow

  1. Client selects a provider and enters card details.
  2. Stripe securely charges the client's card immediately.
    • Funds do not go directly to the provider.
    • Stripe holds the money in a secure balance and associates it with the specific job.
  3. Provider & client confirm job details in chat.
    • If the job is canceled according to platform rules, the payment can be refunded.
  4. Job is completed.
  5. Completion is confirmed in the system.
  6. Stripe releases the payout to the provider, automatically deducting Prosfora’s commission.
  7. Both sides receive receipts and payment records.

🔐 Why It’s Safe

  • No cash, no e-transfers — everything goes through Stripe
  • Client pays once and sees the final amount upfront — no hidden charges
  • Funds are held securely until the job is completed — provider gets paid only after the work is done
  • Clear structure for refunds and disputes
  • Stripe provides industry-grade encryption and fraud protection
