PAIRABLES FAQ

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO POST A LISTING?

It’s free to sign up and create listings on Pairables. We charge a fee on a per-transaction basis and those fees are only charged when you make a profit. Pariables charges Pairers (Owners) a 5% fee + applicable taxes and a 2% fee + applicable taxes to Renters. Pairables charges a minimum $1 fee to Renters and a minimum $2 fee to Pairers (owners) on completed transactions which cover payment processing fees. Please note that if you wish to include insurance coverage with Duuo Insurance, there are additional fees.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE RENTING OUT MY STUFF?

Earnings vary significantly depending on the quality and value of the items you list, however the potential is endless! The more you list, the more you can make. You can also earn by providing delivery options or by offering additional services and experiences along with your rental! Get creative!

WHEN DO FUNDS GET TRANSFERRED TO MY ACCOUNT AFTER A BOOKING?

As long as there are no disputes between Members, Pairables Marketplace Ltd. will deduct the Service Fee and applicable taxes and you will receive your Payout within 7 business days of the Booking Start Date.

WHERE CAN I RENT?

Pairables is currently available in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, Canada. We will be available across all of Canada soon!

DO YOU OFFER INSURANCE OPTIONS?

Unfortunately our previous insurance options are no longer available. We are working on creating new insurance coverage options for you ASAP!

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY RENTER CANCELS? WILL I BE CHARGED?

You will only be charged when a booking is complete. Pairables charges $0 on cancellations as long as the booking is cancelled within your selected cancellation policy period. Similarly, Duuo Insurance does not charge any cancellation fees either as long as they are notified of the cancellation at least 24 hours in advance. If the renter cancels outside of your selected cancellation policy, you may refund the Renter directly after the funds have been transferred to your account. Pairables Fee’s are non-refundable when cancelled outside of your selected cancellation period.

HOW DO I CONTACT THE RENTER OR PAIRER (OWNER)?

Contacting the Renter:

You can contact the Renter through Pairables messages by going to your Inbox and clicking on the Renter’s enquiry or booking request.

Contacting the Pairer (Owner):

You can contact the Pairer through Pairables messages by clicking “contact” on the listing page, or by accessing your booking request in your Inbox.

IS MY PAYMENT SECURE?

Very. We work closely with Stripe as our Payment Provider to ensure Pairables and our Members receive the best in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. You can learn more about Stripe’s security here.

HOW CAN I GET MORE BOOKINGS FOR MY LISTINGS?

The best way to get more booking requests is to spread the word! Share your listings with friends and family as well as through your social media pages! If you’re still not getting rentals, try lowering your rates or offering delivery!

HOW DO I HANDLE TAXES?

When posting a Pairable, Pairers must include any required local, municipal, provincial and federal taxes in the Listing Price, which will be collected from the Client at the time of the Booking Confirmation and paid to the Pairer upon Payout. It is the Pairers obligation to seek counsel from an attorney or a certified accountant to ensure the proper taxes are included in the Price and are collected and paid accordingly.

HOW DO I MODIFY OR CANCEL MY BOOKING

  1. Log in to your account or sign up for an account
  2. On the homepage, click “Inbox”
