All Payments Stay On HostsLink
To protect everyone on the platform, all financial transactions must be processed through HostsLink. This isn't just policy — it's how we keep you safe.
Why We Require On-Platform Payments
Buyer & Seller Protection
Funds are held securely and only released when the job is confirmed complete.
Fraud Prevention
Our secure payment system protects both property owners and service providers from scams.
Fair Commission Model
HostsLink charges a small service fee that funds platform maintenance, verification, and support.
Dispute Resolution
If something goes wrong, our team can step in — only possible because the payment went through us.
Off-Platform Payments Are Strictly Prohibited
Arranging payments in cash, via bank transfer, PayPal, or any channel outside HostsLink — whether initiated by a property owner or service provider — is a serious violation of our Terms of Service.
Consequences include:
- Immediate account suspension
- Loss of verified status
- Ineligibility for dispute resolution
- Potential legal action for terms violation
