Payment Terms
Effective Date: July 1, 2026
These Payment Terms (“Terms”) govern all payments made through Xtra Shift ES (“Platform,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By using our website, mobile application, or services, Customers and Contractors agree to these Payment Terms.
1. Overview
Xtra Shift ES is an online marketplace that connects Customers with independent Contractors across a variety of industries. We facilitate payments but are not the employer of Contractors and are not responsible for the performance or quality of services provided unless otherwise required by law.
2. Accepted Payment Methods
Customers may pay using approved payment methods, including:
- Credit Cards
- Debit Cards
- ACH Bank Transfers (where available)
- Digital Wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc., where available)
- Other payment methods offered on the Platform
All payments are processed through secure third-party payment processors.
3. Booking Payments
When a Customer books a service:
- Payment authorization may occur immediately.
- Depending on the service, the full amount or a required deposit may be charged at booking.
- Remaining balances, if applicable, will be charged according to the booking confirmation.
The Customer authorizes the Platform to charge the selected payment method for all applicable fees.
4. Platform Service Fee
The Platform may charge:
- Customer booking fees
- Contractor service fees
- Processing fees
- Subscription fees (if applicable)
Applicable fees will be displayed before checkout.
Platform fees are generally non-refundable unless required by law or specifically stated in our Refund Policy.
5. Contractor Payments
Contractors are paid only after:
- The scheduled service has been completed;
- No active payment disputes exist; and
- The Platform has successfully collected payment from the Customer.
Payment schedules may include:
- Weekly payouts
- Bi-weekly payouts
- Instant payout options (if available)
- Other payout schedules communicated by the Platform
Most payments should pay out between 24-48 hours of completion on any job. Of course this is pending collection of payment from the customer. The Platform reserves the right to place temporary holds on payouts to investigate fraud, chargebacks, policy violations, or disputes.
6. Taxes
Customers are responsible for paying any applicable taxes associated with their purchases.
Contractors are solely responsible for:
- Federal income taxes
- State income taxes
- Local taxes
- Self-employment taxes
- Business licensing fees
- Insurance obligations
- Any other legally required tax filings
The Platform does not withhold taxes from Contractor earnings unless required by law.
7. Pricing
Contractors may set their own pricing if permitted by the Platform.
Alternatively, pricing may be established by:
- Platform pricing guidelines

Displayed prices may not include taxes or optional fees unless stated otherwise.
8. Deposits

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect payment information. Payment data is processed by PCI-compliant third-party payment providers, and we do not store complete payment card information on our servers.
16. Payment Disputes
Customers should report billing issues within 30 days of the transaction.
The Platform may request documentation from both Customers and Contractors before making a determination.
