Fixt Payments Explained: Checkout, Stripe & When Money Moves

Fixt Team 5 min readJuly 3, 2026

You pay the winning bid on a repair. FixtMarket charges at purchase.

Two Payment Flows

On a repair you pay the winning bid through Stripe. There is no homeowner fee. A 5% fee comes out of the fixer payout. FixtMarket orders charge at purchase. Card numbers stay with Stripe.

Repair Checkout Timeline

When you accept a bid, you pay the winning bid. The fixer payout is the bid minus 5%. If the work is not what you agreed, use in-job chat or open a dispute for admin review.

FixtMarket Checkout

Materials checkout captures payment at order time because goods ship immediately. Refunds follow standard order support policies. Guest checkout is supported; signed-in users see order history in the dashboard.

Disputes & Refunds

Either party can escalate a repair dispute. Fixt admins review chat, photos, and scope. Outcomes may include full release, partial refund, or full refund depending on evidence. This human layer sits on top of automated checkout — AI assists but does not move money alone.

Fixer Payouts

Fixers connect Stripe Connect accounts during onboarding. After homeowner approval, payouts process to the connected account per Stripe timing. Platform fees and subscription details are documented on the pricing page.
