How protected event payments work
DadsOrder keeps a clear ledger and a separate status for each supplier booking. Stripe processes live checkout; the platform never asks you to send card or banking credentials in chat.
One supplier, one booking record
Multi-supplier plans do not blur obligations together. Each booking has its own total, messages, timeline and payment status, so a problem with one supplier never puts another's payment in question.
Keep changes on the record
Use messages, quote cards and amendments for scope or price changes. A payable increase must follow the protected payment flow — which is what makes it reviewable later.
Confirm only completed delivery
Customer confirmation can trigger release. If work is incomplete or materially disputed, use the issue flow instead of confirming and hoping.
Disputes require an explicit outcome
An authorised administrator reviews the available record and selects a defined financial outcome. Automated analysis does not make that decision.
