Frequently Asked Questions
When stepping into unknown territory, we know that you will have important questions. We’ve provided some answers to frequently asked questions that we often get from our customers. Head to our FAQ page to see more.

The process is exactly the same as staging projects. Once a project is ‘In-Progress’ and a variation is required, it is important to identify this early with your customer and communicate (ideally through the secure IPromise chat) to explain the reasons for the variation and that you are going to require a formal variation.
You then go into the project summary and click on ‘Add Stage / Variation’, and simply explain in the variation quote what the specific variation is and the amount. Send this to your customer – we recommend you do not start the work on the variation until your customer has secured the variation quote by paying the specified amount into the secure BNZ Trust Account (escrow account).
Your customer’s protection, once again, is that you don’t get the money until the approved project (in this case, a variation to a project) is completed to your customer’s satisfaction.
NZ law requires companies like IPromise to comply with Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009. We take this responsibility and your security seriously so we use the very best identification and verification process to protect you and us from any illegal conduct.
We have partnered with Cloudcheck, an industry leading identification and verification company who automate and integrate the process for us using real time technology. This also helps to ensure we collect accurate information.
You can be sure we identify and verify all our Customers so IPromise knows that its Customers are not pretending to be someone they are not.
You may have noticed other sectors like lawyers, real estate agents and accountants requiring such checks.

From time to time Suppliers might require a deposit, for example, to purchase materials. This is less likely than in traditional transactions because IPromise securely and transparently holds your customer payments so you (the Supplier) knows the money is physically there for immediate release once your customer is satisfied the job, or a ‘Stage’ of the job, is done.
Your customers cannot take the money back unless you formally agree to it. If there isn’t agreement, IPromise outlines some recommended steps to work through. See here for more detail.

Ratings for Users happen at the end of the transaction. It’s important to be constructive and fair. After a user receive 5 ratings the average will be displayed for other users to see. It’s good to keep this in mind throughout the project.
You can leave feedback for IPromise any time here. The IPromise team review feedback daily and your feedback helps to make what we do even better.
The best way to cover investigations of faults (or unknown outcomes) is to quote and send your customer the minimum cost of the call out fee. For example, it might be one hour of your time and travel (if applicable). Don’t go to the job until your customer has paid the minimum amount into the secure BNZ Trust Account (escrow account). You can then attend the job, complete the investigation and add a variation to that ‘call out fee quote’ detailing the work you have found that is required to be actioned.
That way you have at least locked away the call out fee money for your valuable time and your customer is clear about what additional costs are required. They can then decide to proceed or otherwise with the remediation. The great thing about IPromise is that by completing the first ‘call out fee quote’ you have all the correct contact details for your customer saved in IPromise and future quotes are transparent and simple to manage from then on.
All our Customers have the opportunity to benefit from the full functionality of IPromise for 90 days. We have selected 90 days because most services (that our Customers provide) take weeks to quote, secure payment and then deliver. IPromise is committed to providing users with the opportunity to experience as many of the key features and benefits as possible.
After the 90 days, in order for Customers to receive payments from their customers (via our secure BNZ Trust account or escrow account), they will need to select from one of the three monthly subscription options. See our pricing page for more details.
However, all ‘Quoted’, ‘In Progress’ and ‘Completed Awaiting Approval’ projects within the 90-day trial period will continue to remain active and free until completion.
IPromise is ALWAYS free for your customers.
We now offer a Xero payment integration. Businesses can now connect their business Xero account to their IPromise account in seconds.
That means every time a quote is accepted by your customer and payment is released to you for a job completed, quotes and invoices are automatically mirrored to your Xero account.
Even better, that invoice is PAID – no debtors ledger, no outstanding invoices, no email or phone call payment reminders – only immediate payment on successful project completion with IPromise. Fair, secure and saving you valuable payment administration time.
