The time commitment is predetermined between you and Skillit!  You can make Skillit your full-time or part-time job, building it around other commitments as you wish.

Your obligations are detailed in the Terms and Conditions, so please read these carefully.  In particular, please note that any Skillit reservations made outside of the SKILLIT platform violate our Terms of Service, and may result in the deactivation of Maker and/or Learner accounts.

The Skillit team will review your submission as soon as possible and let you know if you have been approved within 3 business days.  If approved, it may take us an additional 3-5 business days to launch your product on the live site. If your Skillit does not pass our review, we will provide you with feedback, and you may submit a revised proposal or a new idea.

We are happy to assist you 24/7. You can contact us by email ([email protected]) or start a live chat (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM). Feel free to choose whichever works best for you!

That is up to you as the Maker, but we recommend that you offer a Skillit that is family oriented (considers Adults and Childrens of various ages), fun, useful to the Learner, that you are qualified to teach, and that you are passionate about teaching or hosting.  You can review the Skillits already on offer for ideas and brainstorm with current clients, friends and relatives.

1. Make sure the Skillit you are offering is compelling and memorable
2. Use quality pictures and video
3. Write clear titles and descriptions
4. Be sure to include a full list of details to help the customer understand what they are buying

Skillit’s prices are for Adults and Children. The prices are determined by the type of class, materials required and venue. The final price includes a 5% payment processing fee, local applicable taxes and a flat 3% booking fee.

We will do that for you.  Skillit has a robust marketing budget to showcase our Makers and market them and their Skillits to the world. We encourage you to share your Skillits on all of your social media accounts and also to your network. We’ve provided shareable links on each Skillit you create, and your own Maker profile.  Skillit equips all Makers with a marketing toolkit on how to creatively promote their Skillits!

On our blog.  Please check our blogs regularly for tips, information and news.

Your safety and well-being is our top priority.  If, for any reason, you feel unsafe or uncomfortable during a Skillit, we advise you to politely remove yourself from the situation and contact our team ([email protected]) as soon as possible.  If the Skillit is in-person and you feel physically at risk, please contact local authorities first, and SKILLIT second.  If your complaint is of a less urgent nature, please contact us at [email protected].

You will receive payment once the Skillit has been completed.  You must let Skillit know within one day after the session if there were any issues.  Skillit will release your payment 3-5 business days after you host an experience, provided that there were no issues.  The date that you will actually receive the funds depends on your financial institution’s processes and whether there are weekends or bank holidays intervening.  You will need to set up your preferred payment method and financial information on your Skillit Maker profile.

There is no charge to become a Maker. There is a 5% standard transaction fee to be paid directly to Stripe (our payment services provider).  Skillit does not charge Makers a service fee for donated Skillits, or if the Skillit is offered in the context of a SkillitForward arrangement with your employer.

As a general requirement, if you are not qualified to teach a Skillit, you should not be doing so. No licenses are required unless your Skillit activity is governed by a professional organization requiring a license (e.g. law or medicine).

Makers are responsible for complying with all applicable tax laws and remitting any taxes payable to the government.  In general, sales taxes applicable to the sale of services apply to the sale of Skillits.  However, we suggest that you contact a tax professional to determine what taxes you are responsible for paying.  Skillit does not offer tax advice and cannot be held responsible for a Maker’s tax obligations and liabilities.  Please see our Terms and Conditions for Makers for further information terms and conditions - payment and billing; fees; taxes

Never share your email address before a booking is accepted or transfer funds outside the MySkillit system, and always carefully examine emails claiming to be from Skillit for correct urls.
 
Examples of common scams include:

Advance Fee Scam: Someone offers to pay you or give you something if you pay through a service outside of Skillit.

Phishing Scam: Someone sends an email or link that looks like it's from Skillit or another trusted site. These messages are designed to trick you into providing confidential information such as passwords or other email addresses. Phishing messages may contain malware, which is malicious software that gains access to your computer to gather your personal information, including passwords.

Deal Scam: Someone offers you a great deal on a skillit if you pay or send a deposit using a wire transfer.

Overpayment Scam: Someone offers to pay a Maker more than the price of the reservation, and then asks the Maker to give them cash to cover the difference.

Third-party Booking Scam: Someone offers to reserve and pay for a MySkillit listing through their third-party website or service, often claiming to have a MySkillit coupon or discount. These reservations are typically paid for using stolen credit cards.

Note: Any reservations that are made outside of Skillit violate our Terms of Service. If we identify that a reservation was made through a third-party service, we may cancel the reservation and deactivate the accounts of the person who made the booking and the Maker/Learner.

Refunds are automatically made to Learners through Skillit’s payment system if a Skillit is canceled.
