Questions you might have
Does it cost anything to offer my services?

Can I use Service Connect on my phone today?
Yes. Open app.serviceconnect.ie in your phone’s browser. The iPhone app is coming soon and Android is in testing. For early access, email support@serviceconnect.ie.
Why does Stripe ask for my ID and bank details?
Stripe is our payment partner. It needs to know who you are and where to send your money. No payouts until this is done.
