Cancellation & Refunds

How payment holds, cancellations, and refunds work on Rootenly.

Last updated: June 25, 2026

1. Payment holds

Managed concierge projects use Stripe authorization holds. When you authorize a hold, funds are reserved on your payment method but not captured until the job is marked complete according to our workflow.

2. Before work begins

If you cancel before a provider begins work and no capture has occurred, Rootenly will release the authorization hold. Release timing depends on your bank or card issuer and may take several business days to appear on your statement.

3. After a quote is approved

Once you approve a provider quote and scheduling proceeds, cancellation may be subject to provider availability and any costs already incurred. Contact support as soon as possible if your plans change.

4. Refunds after capture

If payment has been captured and you believe work was not performed as agreed, contact support@rootenly.com with your project ID. We review disputes case-by-case and may issue full or partial refunds at our discretion and in accordance with applicable law.

5. Provider no-shows

If a scheduled provider does not appear, notify Rootenly promptly. We will work to reschedule or release uncaptured holds where appropriate.

6. Direct contact projects

If you contact a provider directly (outside managed concierge), payment and cancellation terms are between you and that provider. Rootenly does not process payment for direct contact paths.

7. Platform fees

Where a platform fee applies on captured amounts, refund amounts may reflect the fee policy in effect at the time of capture.
