Secure Payments

Your money is handled securely — every time

Our structured payment request workflow was built to give both homeowners and trades confidence throughout every job — with secure checkout.

🔒

Milestone payment requests

Tradespeople send payment requests as the job progresses — for a call-out fee, materials, instalments, or a final payment. Each request is reviewed and approved by you in the app before it is processed. Nothing is charged without your explicit say-so.

Completed on your confirmation

The final payment request is completed once you confirm the job is done to your satisfaction. If you're not satisfied, raise a dispute before the 48-hour auto-confirmation window closes. You are in control of that step.

Full refund if cancelled

If a job is cancelled before work begins, your money is returned in full. No deductions, no delays.

🧱

Dispute resolution

If something goes wrong, our expert team reviews the evidence and mediates a fair outcome for both parties.

📊

Full audit trail

Every transaction, message, and milestone is recorded. Downloadable invoices give you a complete paper trail.

🏠

Secure checkout

Payments are processed through a trusted third-party payment provider — the same technology used by millions of businesses worldwide.

Communication Records

Everything documented. Nothing lost.

One of the most common sources of disputes in home services isn't dishonesty — it's a lack of documented agreement. What was said over a phone call, what was agreed over WhatsApp, what someone remembers versus what someone else remembers.

On CTRON, all job-related communication happens inside the platform. Every message is timestamped and stored. Every quote, change, and update is on the record — accessible to both parties throughout the job, and available for review if anything needs to be resolved afterward.

This doesn't mean CTRON polices conversations. It means both sides can work with confidence that what was agreed is actually documented — not just remembered.

💬

All messages in-platform

No external WhatsApp threads. Every conversation about a job happens inside CTRON where it can be referenced.

🕑

Timestamped throughout

Every update, quote change, and confirmation has a date and time attached. The record is clear.

📋

Available if needed

If a dispute arises, the full communication history is available as part of the review process. Both sides can see the same record.

Accountability

Both sides are held to the same standard

Trust works when accountability is real — not just promised. CTRON builds accountability into the platform for both homeowners and tradespeople.

For Homeowners
  • Clear job description required before quotes are sent
  • Payment requests reviewed and approved in-app before any charge — tradespeople are notified on each approval
  • Prompt completion confirmation expected after job is done
  • Reviews must reflect genuine experience — not personal grievance
For Tradespeople
  • Only quote on jobs within your verified skill category
  • Itemised quotes — no vague or inflated figures
  • Communicate clearly and keep the homeowner informed
  • Work completed to the standard described and quoted
If something goes wrong

CTRON doesn't just leave disputes to the two parties. If a job completion is disputed, our team reviews the communication history, the agreed quote, and both sides' accounts before mediating a resolution.

Disputed payment requests are paused pending resolution — protecting both parties throughout the process. Homeowners must raise disputes before the 48-hour auto-confirmation window closes.

Our Standards

The CTRON Standard

Every person on CTRON — homeowner or trade — agrees to our code of conduct before joining. This commitment keeps the community safe, fair, and professional.

🤝

Respect & Professionalism

All communication and conduct must be respectful. Zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination.

📋

🔍

Transparency

Clear pricing, honest communicaton, and no hidden agendas on either side of the transaction.

Safety & Emergencies

If you ever feel unsafe — act first, report second.

CTRON can review a report. It cannot respond in seconds. Emergency services can.

📞

Step 1 — Call 999

If you are in immediate danger or there is an emergency, call 999 first. This is always your first action, not a last resort.

🚫

Step 2 — Report in-app

Open the tradesperson's profile in the CTRON app and tap Report. Describe what happened. Our Trust & Safety team reviews every report within 24 hours.

🔒

Step 3 — We act

Substantiated safety reports result in immediate suspension while investigation continues. We take every report seriously and do not allow dismissed concerns to slide.

Your safety is not a feature. It is a baseline. CTRON is a tool for finding and hiring tradespeople — your personal safety always comes before any job or platform process.
