Homeowner Cancellation Fee
Payment processors charge non-refundable fees when funds are deposited. If the homeowner cancels after payment is received, a 3% Homeowner Cancellation Fee may be deducted to recover that processing cost.

For contractors
Understand payout deductions before the job starts.
Contractor fees come from payout
When applicable, contractor-side fees are deducted from funded contractor payouts rather than billed as a separate payment to SafeBilled.
All-in homeowner pricing
Contractor bids should reflect the homeowner-facing project price. Card-funded work can deduct a Contractor Merchant Fee from payout.
Payout setup through Stripe
Contractors complete Stripe-hosted payout setup before SafeBilled can send approved contractor payouts.
