At CoHostMarket, we offer two primary payment options for service providers, each with its own commission fee structure: One-Time Payment and Percentage-Based Commission. One-Time Payment Option: This option is typically used for services such as virtual assistant services, online consultations, listing creation, and optimization. The commission fee for one-time payment services varies based on the service provider's subscription level: Standard users: 17% commission fee Premium users: 15% commission fee PRO users: 10% commission fee Percentage-Based Commission Option: This option is generally applied to local or full property management services. The commission fee is a percentage of the rental income generated by the service provider's performance. The exact percentage and payment terms are agreed upon between the homeowner and the service provider. Payments for this option are made directly by the homeowner to the service provider, usually on a monthly basis. Additional Information: Flexible Payment Options: Service providers can choose the payment option that best suits their service offerings and business model. Security and Transparency: Our platform ensures that all transactions are secure and transparent, providing peace of mind for both homeowners and service providers. For more detailed information, refer to our Terms & Conditions. If you have any further questions about our payment processes or commission fees, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Our marketplace offers two distinct pricing options for service providers to better cater to their unique preferences and business models: the One-Time Package and the Commission per Booking Fee. Here, we will explain the differences between the two. One-Time Package This option involves a single, upfront payment that covers a specific set of services offered by the service provider, such as virtual assistance or one-time job assignments. Clients opting for this package will pay a one-time fee, granting them access to the agreed-upon services without any additional charges or commission fees. Benefits of One-Time Package: Fixed Cost: Clients have a clear, fixed cost for the services they require. Escrow System: Payments are held in escrow and released once the order is marked as completed by the buyer. Simplicity: Ideal for clients who prefer straightforward pricing without ongoing fees. Commission per Booking Fee In contrast, the Commission per Booking Fee is a pay-as-you-go model where the service provider receives a percentage of the revenue generated from each booking they facilitate. This pricing structure allows for more flexibility, as the service provider's earnings are directly tied to the number of bookings they secure. Benefits of Commission per Booking Fee: Performance-Based: Earnings are directly tied to the number of bookings secured. Contact Information: Choosing this option allows homeowners to access the service provider's contact information. Flexibility: Suitable for clients who prefer a performance-based pricing model. By offering both the One-Time Package and Commission per Booking Fee options, our marketplace aims to accommodate the varying needs and preferences of our clients, ensuring a seamless and mutually beneficial experience for both service providers and customers.
