Trust & Safety

How we keep Flashbook a safe place to do business — for buyers and sellers alike.

Verified providers

Sellers can earn ID-Verified, Certified and Flashbook-Tested badges shown on every profile.

🔒

Private contact

Phone numbers are hidden until a booking is confirmed and paid — no one can pull you off-platform.

💳

Secure payments

Pay through LankaQR / DirectPay. We never store your card or bank details.

Verified reviews only

Reviews come only from customers who completed a paid booking — no fakes.

🛡️

Flashbook Guarantee

If a job goes wrong, raise a dispute in-app and our team mediates a fair outcome.

📉

Accountability

Repeated cancellations or no-shows automatically reduce a provider's visibility.

Staying safe as a buyer

  • Keep all chat, bookings and payments on Flashbook — that's what the guarantee covers.
  • Never pay outside the platform or share OTPs and bank passwords.
  • Check the provider's badges, rating and verified reviews before booking.
  • Use in-app chat to confirm details before you pay.

Staying safe as a seller

  • Only accept payment through Flashbook so you're protected.
  • Keep your availability calendar accurate to avoid disputes.
  • Be clear about what's included in each package to set expectations.
  • Report suspicious requests to our team via the Contact page.
