Every job on Shoku is paid for by card, in rands, through Paystack. When you accept a quote, the amount is reserved on your card — not charged. It stays held until you and your contractor both sign off on the finished job.
Pay with confidence
Pay by card through Paystack. If something isn't right, nothing has been charged yet — your card is only charged once you say the job is done.
Get paid for finished work
Contractors are paid out only once both sides confirm the job is complete — protection that works both ways.
