🔫 How does the platform work for lenders?

Simply sign up and create your profile to get started. Connect your Stripe account to start accepting bookings. This ensures you can get paid for the items you loan. Renters will then be able to see your listings and request to book. Fire up a conversation, exchange collection details and share your item. Don’t forget to request reviews after each completed service—positive feedback builds trust and helps attract further rentals.

💰 Is it free to join the platform as a lender?

Yes, signing up and listing your items and services is completely free. The platform applies a 13% commission on each transaction: around 5% of this goes toward Stripe’s payment processing and payout fees, and the remaining portion helps cover the platform's operational costs.

👮How is my item protected?

We recommend to agree on a deposit that mutually works for you and the renter upon item collection. This could be a cash deposit, or sharing of ID. This should help to give you peace of mind that they will return your item in good order. Remember this is a community rental app, lets keep the faith in our communities.

🆔 Why does Stripe require government-issued ID?

Stripe needs your ID not because they want extra info, but because financial law requires it to prevent fraud, money laundering, and identity misuse.

Browse the marketplace to find what you are looking for. Use the filters to narrow down your options and explore listings that match your needs. When you find an item or service you're interested in, you can message the lender directly for more details. Once you're ready to move forward, simply initiate a transaction by confirming the rental.
