💰Payments & Pricing
How does protected booking work?
When you book a vendor, your payment is protected until after your event. The vendor is paid 48 hours after your event is completed. This protects both parties.
What is the platform fee?
Vensho charges a 6% platform fee on bookings. This drops to 5% after 10 bookings, 4% after 25, and 3.5% after 50+ bookings. Vendors see transparent breakdowns of all fees.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept credit/debit cards, US bank transfers, and Affirm financing. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.
Can I get a refund?
Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before your event. Our no-show refund protection helps ensure you are protected if a vendor fails to deliver as promised.
🎉For Event Planners
How do I compare vendors?
Add up to 3 vendors to your comparison tray from any vendor card, then click "Compare" to see side-by-side pricing, ratings, and features.
How do I message a vendor?
Once you have a booking or proposal, go to Messages in your dashboard to chat directly with your vendor. All conversations are saved.
What are event bundles?
Bundles let you book multiple vendor types (DJ + photographer + catering) together at a discounted rate. Check the Bundles page for current deals.
How does the AI Event Planner work?
Our AI planner helps you determine what vendors you need, estimate budgets, and create timelines based on your event type and guest count.
🎪For Vendors
How do I get more bookings?
Complete your profile (100%), respond quickly to inquiries, earn certifications through our Training center, and ask satisfied customers for reviews.
How do I set my availability?
Go to Availability in your vendor dashboard. Block off unavailable dates and set your regular schedule. You can also export your bookings to Google Calendar via iCal.
How does verification work?
Upload your insurance certificate, complete a background check, and connect your Stripe account. Verified vendors rank higher in search results and earn trust badges.
When do I get paid?
Payments are released 48 hours after event completion via your connected Stripe account. Daily payouts with a $10 minimum threshold.
🛡️Trust & Safety
Are vendors verified?
We verify vendors through insurance documentation, background checks, and business credential review. Look for the verified badge on vendor profiles.
What if something goes wrong?
Contact us immediately through this Help Center or email support@vensho.co. Our protected booking and no-show refund protection help safeguard your investment.
How do reviews work?
Only customers who completed a booking can leave reviews. Vendors can respond to reviews publicly. This ensures authentic, trustworthy feedback.
