Frequently asked questions
Do my customers need to download anything or create an account?
No. Your customers just open your booking link, fill out a short form, and confirm by email. Everything happens in their browser — no app or account needed on their end.
How do customers pay me?
By Venmo or cash — whatever you arrange. Handyyy never touches your job payments or takes a cut. You simply tap "Mark paid" on the invoice once you've been paid.
Is there an app to download from the App Store?
No app store needed. Install Handyyy straight from your browser: on iPhone tap Share then "Add to Home Screen", on Android tap "Install app". It then works like a normal app.
What does Handyyy cost?
You start with a free trial. After that it's a simple flat monthly or annual subscription. See Settings → Subscription for your plan and renewal date.
How do I get notified when a customer requests work?
You'll get an email automatically. For phone alerts, open Settings → Notifications and tap "Enable notifications" to get a push notification on your device when a new request comes in.
How do I share my booking link?
On the Home screen tap "Share booking link", then Copy, and paste it into a text, email, or your social pages. Customers use that link to send you a request.
How do I send an estimate?
Open the job, add your line items (labor and materials), then tap "Email estimate". The customer gets a link to approve it in one tap, and you'll see when they've approved.

Send the customer the invoice, collect payment by Venmo or cash, then open the invoice and tap "Mark paid". The job moves to Paid and your earnings update on Home.
How do I ask customers for a Google review?
In Settings → Preferences, turn on "Automatically request a review" and paste your Google review link. When you mark an invoice paid, the customer is emailed a one-tap review link.
