After the session is completed, payouts are released after a short holding period (e.g., ~36 hours) to handle any disputes fairly.

Fees, deposits, and trust

To keep the marketplace high-quality and reduce clutter, GOZURU applies platform fees and encourages deposits for bookings. This helps prevent parallel deals and supports dispute resolution.

  • Traveler service fee: helps fund customer support, payments, and reviews.
  • Expert listing fee: a small percentage per confirmed booking to maintain quality.
  • Deposits: reduce last-minute cancellations and off-platform engagements.
  • Payout holding period: released shortly after completion to handle issues fairly.
