Nothing is paid until you approve the work.
How the timeline works:
- You hire a pro → funds go into Escrow Shield
- The pro completes the work
- You tap Release Payment
- Payout reaches the contractor in 1–3 business days (standard ACH)
Instant payouts: Some pros receive funds within minutes if they’ve enabled Stripe Instant Payouts (bank-dependent, small Stripe fee applies).
Have an issue? Tap Help → Report an issue before releasing payment. Escrow stays on hold while we investigate.
