How money works
Payments stay clear from offer to completion.
The money flow is deliberately simple from booking through payout.
Owners pay through Stripe when they book.
The gardener's share goes to their Stripe balance after payment, less Stripe costs and Watch My Plot's 15% fee.
Refunds and issues are handled case by case.
