How protected payments work

You pay the vendor in stages (milestones) agreed in the quote - for example an advance, then a balance before the event. Every fee, tax and the optional Shubh Assured fee is shown before the pay button, and you get a receipt and a GST invoice.

• The money you pay is held by Shubh Bazaar and released to the vendor when the milestone is due - not before.
• If something goes wrong you can open a dispute and the held money is frozen until it is decided.
• Vendors are paid out to their bank two working days after release.

Always pay inside Shubh Bazaar. Payments made outside are not protected - if you do pay a vendor directly, log it under Budget so your numbers stay right.
