How it works

Everything you need to know about errander

Whether you're a business, an individual, or someone looking to earn — this is how the platform works.

For individuals

Hiring an errander as a private person

Yes — anyone can post a task. You don't need a company to hire help. Need someone to pick up a package, stand in a queue, or run a quick errand? Post it, set a price, and get it done.

Step by step +
  1. 1Create an account and post your task with a description, location, and price.
  2. 2Erranders apply — review their profile, ID verification and reviews, and pick the best fit.
  3. 3Pay into escrow. The errander is paid only when you confirm the task is done.
  4. 4Leave a review to help the community.

For businesses

Hiring erranders as a business (B2B)

Absolutely. Businesses use errander for field marketing, brand activations, office errands, and on-the-ground tasks that AI can't do. Post tasks on behalf of your brand — no special account needed.

Step by step +
  1. 1Post tasks just like any user. Add your company name in the task description if relevant.
  2. 2Use the finder's fee feature to incentivise your network to refer the right people.
  3. 3Scale by posting multiple tasks at once — each is paid on its own.
  4. 4Need recurring help? Re-post completed tasks or message erranders you've worked with before.

How payment works

Escrow, payouts, and finder's fees

Errander uses Stripe for all payments. Funds are held in escrow until the task is confirmed complete — neither side can lose money unfairly.

Step by step +
  1. 1When you accept an applicant, payment is captured and held in escrow.
  2. 2The errander completes the task and marks it done.
  3. 3You confirm completion — funds are automatically transferred to the errander.
  4. 4The bank payout arrives automatically about 7 days after approval.
  5. 5If you set a finder's fee, the referrer is paid out at the same time.

Common questions

Can a business create a company account?

Not yet — right now all accounts are personal. Businesses post tasks under their own name or use the task description to clarify it's a brand. A dedicated business account type is on the roadmap.

Is errander B2C or B2B?

Both. Individuals hire for personal errands (B2C). Businesses hire for field marketing, office tasks, and on-the-ground work (B2B). The platform works the same way for both.

What if the task isn't completed properly?

You can dispute the task before confirming completion. Funds stay in escrow until the issue is resolved.

Do I need to be ID-verified to post a task?

No — anyone can post. ID verification is required for erranders who want to apply and get paid.

How long until the money reaches my bank account?

Payment is sent to your Stripe account as soon as the poster approves the task. Your bank payout arrives automatically about 7 days after approval, per Stripe's payout schedule.

Can I hire the same errander again?

Yes. Once you've worked together you can message them directly and post a new task.
