Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for posters and taskers across Canada
What is SwiftGigs? +
SwiftGigs is a Canada-wide marketplace where you post everyday tasks or earn money completing them — errands, home help, tutoring, beauty, tech, and more.
Is SwiftGigs live everywhere in Canada? +
Yes. We're live across Canada during beta. Post and browse tasks in your city — we're expanding to more countries soon.
How do payments work? +
Payments run through Stripe. When a poster accepts a tasker, the agreed amount is held in escrow. Once the task is marked complete, the platform fee is deducted and the remainder is paid out to the tasker.
When can I message someone? +
Chat unlocks when a poster accepts your application (beta). This keeps conversations tied to real jobs.
Do taskers need a profile photo? +
Yes. Taskers must upload a clear photo before applying so posters know who they're hiring.
What if something goes wrong? +
Use Report on a task or profile, or open a Dispute from My Tasks. See our dispute process. Email support@quickgigs.ca.
How long do tasks stay open? +
Open tasks automatically expire after 30 days with no hire. Post again anytime.
How do I get notified? +
Enable notifications on your dashboard for messages and accepted jobs. Email alerts send to your signup address when configured.
Who can sign up? +
You must be 16 or older. If you're 16–17, a parent/guardian must approve your account via email before you can post or apply. Adults 18+ sign up normally. See our Terms.
