Your money doesn't move until the work is done.
Every job on Shoku is paid for by card, in rands, through Paystack. The moment you accept a quote, funds are securely captured — but not released. They stay held until you and your contractor both sign off on the finished job.
Pay with confidence
Add your card once, through Paystack. If something isn't right, funds haven't gone anywhere yet — nothing releases until 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.
