A pending service is a service that requires an action, a service that needs to be confirmed, approved, or refused by the other party (Buyer or Seller).

There are two different kinds of pending requests: 

  • Services showing status: Pending service

  • Services showing: Confirm service

The service changes the status when an action is required. You can manage them easily and it depends on your role:

1. I am a service buyer

2. I am a service seller


1. I am a service buyer

a. I need to modify service details or reschedule

b. The service seller is asking for a change

c. A service with an extra item added by the seller needs confirmation

a. I need to modify service details or reschedule

b. The service seller is asking for a change

You will be notified each time a seller is requesting a change:

  • You get a notification in the top part of the platform.
    Make sure to check the notifications daily.

In case the seller needs extra time for the service, or extra items are delivered they can update the service detail by editing it.

This service change will be sent to you for your confirmation. A notification in the platform will be displayed as shown below:
