Contractors
Get routed work in your trade with transparent pricing, protected payments, and no race-to-the-bottom bidding.
For skilled trades and service professionals who want steady, structured work without lead ads or price games.
What this role does
- Accept jobs routed to you that match your trade and region.
- Complete work to spec and update progress through the platform.

What you do not handle

- Competing against other contractors to undercut price.
- Dealing with ambiguous payout math or hidden deductions.
How you get paid
Contractors receive 75% of labor and keep 100% of tips. The platform shows the split upfront so you know what the job pays before you commit.
Payout methods & timing
- Stripe (Direct Bank Deposit) payouts are typically processed immediately or next business day once a job is completed.
- 8Fold uses Stripe for secure escrow and payouts.
- Payouts are issued in full minus transaction or transfer fees charged by Stripe. 8Fold does not add additional payout fees.
