How to Check In and Check Out

Check-in and check-out confirm you were on site and stayed for a reasonable time. They protect your compensation if anything goes wrong on the Merchant side — refusal, closed door, staff issue — and help us argue in your favor in case of a dispute.

Check-in opens 30 minutes before the session starts for on-site projects. As a Creator, you'll receive a reminder by text and email.


On-site projects: check-in

The Merchant receives a 6-digit code by text before your arrival. Ask for it when you arrive.

You have the code

  1. Open the Project page → tap "Start the Session"

  2. Enter the code → you're checked in

You don't have the code

  1. Open the Project page → tap "Start the Session" → "I don't have the code"

  2. Upload a photo of the storefront to confirm your presence

  3. You're checked in

There's an issue on the site

  1. Open the Project page → tap "Start the Session" → "I don't have the code"

  2. Upload a photo of the storefront

  3. Report the issue with the location

You can't make it to the session

  1. Open the Project page → tap "Report a Problem" → select your reason

  2. If you agreed to reschedule with the Merchant → tap "Reschedule" → pick the new date

  3. If rescheduling isn't possible → tap "Cancel Session" → you're unassigned

For At-Home projects, once your voucher has been claimed, self-drop, rescheduling and cancelling are no longer possible — if there's an issue with your voucher, report it using the dedicated voucher issue form instead.


After check-in — completing or reporting

Session completed without issue

  1. Tap "Mark Session as completed" → confirm

  2. Upload your photos and leave a review if needed

Photos must be delivered by the end of the day.

Issue on the Merchant side (closed, staff problem)

  1. Tap "Report a Problem"

  2. Reschedule or cancel depending on the situation

  3. You receive the corresponding compensation

If the Merchant refused the shoot (merchant refusal), no compensation action is created for you: the Client is notified to contact their partner directly and takes it from there.

Issue on your side (equipment, personal emergency)

  1. Tap "Report a Problem"

  2. If you agreed to reschedule with the Merchant → tap "Reschedule" → pick a new date

  3. If rescheduling isn't possible → tap "Cancel Session"

Don't abuse this. Late rescheduling or cancellations affect your rating.


If you miss the check-in or check-out

Missing either one puts your compensation at risk and triggers an automatic session cancellation at the end of the day — you will be unassigned, and another Creator can pick up the Project.

At-home projects: check-in

At-home projects have no on-site Merchant, so check-in works differently.

Steps:

  1. Open the Project page on your shoot day, once check-in opens.

  2. Tap Check-in.

  3. Upload a photo proof: a screenshot of the order on the app, or a photo of the delivered food items.

When check-in opens: automatically at 08:00AM (project timezone) on your session day.

⚠️If you haven't checked in by midnight on your session day, your session will be cancelled, and you'll be unassigned. This impacts your reliability score.

Once your voucher is claimed, self-drop, rescheduling and cancelling are no longer available for this session. If your voucher is expired, invalid, has an insufficient amount, or the restaurant can't be found, report it via the dedicated voucher issue form — I'll make sure it gets resolved for you.
