How does the bidding and offer system work?

Payments & Fees

How does payment work?

ClickDone uses a secure escrow payment system to protect both specialists and clients. When a client posts a task and accepts your offer, the payment is held in escrow before any work begins. Once you complete the job and the client confirms satisfaction, the funds are released to your ClickDone wallet. This guaranteed payment system ensures you always get paid for completed work.

Is payment guaranteed?

Yes. Every task on ClickDone is backed by the escrow payment system. The client funds the task before work begins, meaning the money is already secured. Once the task is completed and confirmed, your payment is released automatically. In the rare event of a dispute, ClickDone mediates and ensures a fair resolution. Over 99.2% of completed tasks are paid out without any issues.

When do I get paid?

Payment is released to your ClickDone wallet as soon as the client confirms the task is complete. If the client does not respond within 72 hours of task completion, the payment is automatically released. You can withdraw funds from your wallet at any time. Bank transfers typically process within 1 to 2 business days depending on your bank. The average time from task completion to funds in your bank account is under 48 hours.

What are the platform fees?

ClickDone charges a small service fee only when you successfully complete a task and get paid. There are no monthly subscriptions, no listing fees, and no hidden costs. The fee structure is transparent and clearly shown before you submit any offer. This pay-when-you-earn model ensures you never pay out of pocket and the platform remains free to join and use.

What payment methods are supported?

ClickDone supports all major South African banks for withdrawals, including FNB, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank, and Capitec. Clients can fund tasks via credit card, debit card, EFT, and instant EFT. The platform processes over R2 million in specialist payments monthly, with all transactions secured by 256-bit encryption and PCI DSS compliance.

Safety & Trust

How does ClickDone verify specialists?

ClickDone uses a multi-step verification process to ensure quality and trust. Every specialist undergoes email verification, identity document checks, and profile review. For regulated trades like electrical and plumbing, trade certificates are verified against official registries. Specialists can also earn a "Verified" badge by maintaining a rating above 4.5 stars and completing 10 or more tasks. Currently, over 85% of active specialists hold the Verified badge.

What happens if a client does not pay?

Because ClickDone uses an escrow system, non-payment is virtually eliminated. The client funds the task before work begins, so the money is already secured in escrow. Once you mark the task as complete, the client has 72 hours to confirm or raise a concern. If the client does not respond, the payment is released automatically. In disputed cases, the ClickDone support team reviews all evidence and resolves the matter within 5 business days.

How are disputes resolved?

ClickDone has a dedicated dispute resolution team that handles any disagreements between specialists and clients. Both parties can submit evidence including photos, chat messages, and task details. The team reviews all submissions and issues a fair resolution, typically within 3 to 5 business days. Over 95% of disputes are resolved to both parties' satisfaction. The platform also offers mediation services for complex cases.

Is my personal information safe?

ClickDone takes data security seriously and complies fully with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa. All personal data is encrypted using 256-bit SSL encryption both in transit and at rest. Your identity documents are stored in secure, access-controlled systems and are never shared with third parties. The platform undergoes regular security audits and uses industry-standard protocols to protect your information.

Over 78% of specialists use the mobile app as their primary way to find and manage jobs. The app includes push notifications so you never miss a new task in your area.

How do ratings and reviews work?

After each completed task, the client can rate you from 1 to 5 stars and leave a written review. Your overall rating is displayed on your profile and visible to potential clients. High ratings significantly increase your chances of being selected for new tasks. The average specialist rating on ClickDone is 4.8 out of 5 stars. You can also respond to reviews publicly, demonstrating your professionalism and commitment to quality service.

Can I work in multiple service categories?

Yes, you can register in as many service categories as you are qualified for. Adding multiple categories increases your visibility and the number of available tasks you can bid on. Specialists who list 3 or more categories receive on average 2.5 times more task notifications than single-category specialists. Make sure to accurately represent your skills in each category to maintain a high rating across all services.
