For tradespeople
Skilled work deserves better than word of mouth.
If you're a licensed or experienced tradesperson, Paayos ToolBox brings you jobs in your trade, in your area, already scoped and already funded. You quote. You get paid when the customer confirms the work.
- Electrical
- Plumbing
- Carpentry
- Masonry & Concrete
- Aircon & Appliance
- Renovation
Why work through us
Built around how trades actually work.
You set the price
Nothing is fixed-rate. You see the scope, the photos, and the access conditions, then you quote what the job is actually worth. No platform-imposed hourly rate.
The job is funded before you start
The customer pays into escrow when they accept your quote. You're not starting work on a promise, and you're not chasing an invoice afterwards.
Only jobs in your trade and area
You see electrical jobs if you're an electrician, in the service areas you cover. No scrolling past cleaning gigs and errand runs to find real work.
Vetting works in your favour
Being ID-verified and licence-checked is a credential the customer can see. It puts you above the guy with no verification and a cheaper number.
The job flow
From posting to payout.
- A customer posts a job with a full scope and photos
- You get it if it matches your trade and service area
- You submit a quote — your number, your terms
- Customer picks you and pays into escrow
- You chat to confirm details, then do the work
- You mark it complete; the customer confirms
- Escrow releases your payment, less the 15% platform fee
What you'll need
Getting approved.
Every application is reviewed by a person on our team before you can take jobs. It takes a bit of effort up front — that's the point. It's what makes the badge worth having.
For renovation-scale work — bathroom and kitchen renos, room additions, anything multi-day and multi-trade — we may also ask for a short video introduction or a site assessment before approving you for that category. Bigger jobs, bigger risk to the customer, so a higher bar.
Getting paid
Clear terms, no surprises.
The customer funds the job into escrow when they accept your quote. When you mark the work complete and they confirm it, the payment releases to you — minus the platform commission, and nothing else.
- Platform commission
- 15%
- Taken from the job amount when payment is released. No listing fees, no charge to submit a quote, no monthly subscription.
- Payment methods
- Customers pay by GCash, Maya, or debit/credit card. Your earnings and payout history are tracked in the worker app.
- Your status
- You work as an independent contractor, not an employee. You choose which jobs to quote on and set your own prices.
