Payments, how your money is protected
- Everything is paid in the app, never cash. Payments are processed by Stripe; UPSO never sees your card number.
- For services, rides and SafeTrade purchases, your payment is held securely and only released to the Pro or seller after the work or delivery is done.
- Every price is shown in full, including fees and estimated tax: before you confirm.
Cancellations & refunds
- Food & delivery orders: you can cancel free of charge until the restaurant or store accepts your order. After that, request a cancellation from the order screen, our team reviews it (food already being prepared may not be refundable).
- Caravan seats: cancel more than 24 hours before departure for a full refund of the seat. Under 24 hours, 50% is kept for your driver (they saved the seat for you). If the driver cancels the trip, you're refunded automatically, in full, fees included.
- SafeTrade purchases: cancel yourself any time before the seller confirms pickup. After the seller commits, cancellations go through support so nobody is left stranded mid-handoff.
- Scheduled services: plans change, cancel from the booking screen or contact support. The earlier you cancel, the cleaner the refund.
- Refunds go back to your original payment method. Card refunds typically appear in 5 to 10 business days depending on your bank.
Caravan, riding with a Pro
- Caravan is a cost-share carpool, not a taxi: verified Pros post trips they're already driving, and you chip in toward the cost.
- Your ticket shows a 4-digit boarding code- tell it to your driver when you board. It confirms the right rider is in the right seat.
- Arrive at the meeting point 5 minutes early. A no-show still pays for the seat, it was held for you.

SafeTrade, buying from neighbours
- Your payment sits in escrow while one of our Pros picks the item up and brings it to you.
- Inspect the item at your door, then share your handoff PIN with the Pro to release payment. Don't share it until you have the item in hand.
- Item not as described? Refuse at the door- the Pro returns it and your money stays protected. Something else wrong? Open a dispute from the purchase screen.
Working with Pros
- Every Pro is identity-verified (government ID) with the licences and documents their work requires on file.
- Pro names are locked to their verified ID, the name you see is the person who shows up.
- Running-late job? We watch scheduled jobs automatically: your Pro gets nudged, you get an honest update, and our team steps in if needed.
