Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most about availability, bookings, payments, and verification.

Do I need an account just to see who's available?

No. Browsing the live map, seeing who's free right now, and viewing a provider's profile never requires signing up. An account only comes into play when you want to message, book, or pay.

What does “available” actually mean?

A provider genuinely signaled they're free to take a job right now, and that signal is location-verified and auto-expires after a set window unless they refresh it. It isn't a static schedule — it decays automatically so the map stays honest.

How do I know the availability signal is real?

Three things back it: auto-expiring availability so a stale signal can't linger, a lightweight location check confirming the provider is actually positioned to respond, and post-job confirmation from consumers that feeds a visible reliability score on every profile.

Why aren't consumers verified the same way providers are?

Because a provider is the one showing up at your door or handling something in your home — that's where the real trust and risk sits. Requiring the same document-heavy check just to look who's free would defeat the point of an availability-first app. See why we verify for the full reasoning.

What kind of providers are on VisitGrid?

Far more than home-repair trades. Independent providers (plumbers, electricians, personal trainers, tutors, pet groomers, mobile mechanics) alongside business providers with real-time capacity to signal (clinics, restaurants, salons, courier fleets, equipment rental counters, and more). The category list is never fixed.

What happens if my verification is rejected?

You can resubmit corrected information, or appeal to human review if you think it was a mistake — see if you're rejected.

How does payment work?

Every booking runs through a licensed split-payment processor. VisitGrid never holds provider or consumer funds at any point.

What data does VisitGrid keep on me?

See your data for the plain-language summary, and the Privacy Policy for the full policy, including country-specific detail for where you're located.
