Bookings
You can find your bookings under the “Bookings” section. Here, you’ll see a list of all your bookings with options to filter and view detailed information about each one.
The “Bookings Calendar View” gives you a color-coded calendar showing all your bookings. You can filter it to view different types of bookings or dates. You can also accept, decline, or cancel bookings.
Pro tip: Always aim for prompt responses and clear communication.
Messaging
Messages from clients with regards to your respective services will be in your “Messages” section. It’s also your inbox for all booking-related communications. If you ever need to check or respond to messages, that’s the place to go.
Use the “Messages” page or the Chat2Us feature for all communications. Just remember to be professional and clear.
Wallet
Here you’ll find your transaction history, withdrawable balance, total earnings, and even manage your payout methods and fees.
Lengwadi operates on a 20% success fee model, calculated on your rate plus a R150 booking fee. For example, if your rate is R1000, the customer pays R1150, and you receive 80% of R1150. This ensures you retain more of your earnings as the fee is shared with the customer. Payouts are processed weekly, and there are no monthly fees for standard plans. Minimum payout threshold is R1000, and we offer bank EFT as the payment method.
