2

A client books your service

The client chooses a service, a date and a time slot, and confirms the booking.

3

You arrange payment with the client

The client pays you directly (Interac e-transfer, cash, etc.). ServiceLocal doesn't process payments yet.

You send the commission via e-transfer

Send 10% of the service price via Interac e-transfer to payments@servicelocal.ca after each confirmed booking.
