How Fixt job payment works

Scott @ Fixt 4 min readMarch 28, 2026

You pay the winning bid. There is no homeowner fee. A 5% fee comes out of the fixer payout.

Why Checkout Matters in Home Repair

Homeowners want a clear price. Fixers want to know what they will be paid. On Fixt you pay the winning bid through Stripe. There is no homeowner fee. A 5% fee comes out of the fixer payout.

How It Works: Step by Step

When you accept a bid, Stripe charges the winning bid. The homeowner pays that amount and nothing extra. The fixer payout is 95% of the bid. Card numbers stay with Stripe.

The Completion Verification Process

When your fixer marks the job as complete, review the work in the job thread. If something is not right, ask for a revision in chat or open a dispute for admin review.

What Happens in a Dispute

If you and the fixer cannot agree, either party can open a dispute. Admin reviews photos, chat, and the job scope. Outcomes can include a refund or paying the fixer.

What the fixer is paid

Checkout is not just for homeowners. Contractors on Fixt know that when they complete quality work, the homeowner pays the winning bid. A 5% fee comes out of the fixer payout.

The Technical Security Layer

Card payments run through Stripe. Fixt does not store card numbers. The homeowner is charged the winning bid. The 5% fee is taken from the fixer payout.
