Both sides win

Peace of mind for the business and the customer.

Businesses deserve to get paid before they start. Customers deserve to know what they are paying for. DoneDeal keeps the job terms, payment details, updates, and completion record in one clear place.

For businesses

  • Get paid before starting work
  • Set clear expectations
  • Keep payment and job records organized
  • Share updates and completion details
  • Reduce confusion and payment disputes

For customers

  • Review the job before paying
  • See the deposit or full payment amount
  • Understand what work is expected
  • Receive a receipt
  • View updates or completion details
  • Avoid paying blindly for unclear or half-completed work

Clarity, not conflict

Clear records when things do not go as planned.

Most job issues come from unclear expectations. DoneDeal keeps the job terms, payment details, client approval, updates, receipts, and completion details in one place so both sides can review what happened.

DoneDeal does not act as a judge or escrow company. It helps create a clear record that may be useful if the business and customer need to resolve an issue, handle a refund request, or respond to a payment dispute.

The problem

Unclear deals create payment problems.

Small businesses often start work based on verbal agreements, texts, screenshots, deposits, and assumptions. When the terms are unclear, payment problems happen. DoneDeal gives both sides a simple record of the job, payment terms, updates, and completion status.

  • 01Verbal agreements are easy to misunderstand.
  • 02Deposits can be hard to track across texts and DMs.
  • 03Clients forget what they agreed to.
  • 04You need a clear record of the work you delivered.
  • 05Disputes are easier to close when everything is documented.

Four steps from quote to done.

01

Create the job

Add the client, job description, price, deposit amount, and expected completion date.

02

Send the payment link

03

Document the work

Upload photos, files, receipts, notes, and completion details.

04

Close out the job
