A job paid upfront, collected when ready
On-demand means you sell the job, not a time slot. A customer pays for a re-covering job upfront when the piece comes in, and they collect it when it is ready, with no appointment and nothing in your diary.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

What on-demand actually means
On-demand means the customer pays now and collects the finished piece later: there is no appointment and no diary slot. You list a set job at a fixed price, a dining chair re-covered, a drop-in seat redone, a headboard recovered, and the customer pays for it there and then when the piece comes in. You do the work and have it ready for collection. Because no time is booked, it suits work that is handed over rather than done to a clock.

Common questions
- What is an on-demand upholstery job?
- A job you sell at a set price with no booked time slot. The customer pays upfront when the piece comes in and collects it when it is ready. A re-covered chair or a redone seat is bought and paid for like a product.
- When do I get paid?
- Upfront, the moment the customer pays for the job. The work starts already paid for, so there is nothing to chase when the piece is collected.
