Getting started

What is anythingdone.co.za?

A South African services marketplace being developed for KwaZulu-Natal. The current site is a private pilot where you can explore sample tasks and save your own workspace.

Where will it operate?

The initial focus is Durban, Umhlanga, Pinetown, Hillcrest, Ballito and Westville. Availability will depend on service providers joining each area.

Does posting a task cost anything?

The planned model lets customers post tasks free. Service Providers will have a paid monthly subscription and can buy optional advertising. No fees are currently collected.

Customers and tasks

How do I get quotes?

Open Post a Task and add a description, category, area, timing and budget. In the shared beta, administrator approval publishes the task and notifies eligible admitted service providers matching the task category and area. Use test details while the site remains in beta.

Can I compare quotes and book?

The shared beta lets task owners compare private bids and award one bid. The old sample workspace remains separate. Use test tasks until the public launch checks are complete.

Will I get a notification when someone responds?

Both subscription plans will receive matching tasks in their inbox based on selected categories. Task posters will receive response updates. Shared-beta matching creates inbox updates. Optional remote Web Push is implemented and configured, but still needs a real-device delivery check after permission is granted.

Service providers

How do I register?

Create your shared profile, select Basic, Intermediate or Premium, and choose multiple categories and areas. Account access is administered separately from membership. Basic is free; the paid levels require current access and may receive no-charge beta access. Subscription billing is not yet enabled. Do not upload identity documents into the pilot.

Are service providers vetted?

No. Basic, Intermediate and Premium are account levels, not endorsements. We do not vet service providers. Email verification confirms inbox access only. A Business Account badge means an administrator checked the supplied CIPC registration; it is not a skills or workmanship check. Check references, qualifications and required licences independently.

How much is the subscription?

Basic is free and can post and bid. Intermediate is R79.99 per month; Premium is R199.99 per month. No VAT is charged. Paid plans renew automatically monthly until cancelled after explicit PayFast checkout consent. Selecting a level or receiving free test access does not authorise payment.

Payments, safety and support

Is my payment protected?

Customers pay service providers directly. AnythingDone does not hold or protect task payments. PayFast collects authorised membership subscriptions only. No live payment is initiated while checkout is disabled.

Can I advertise my business?

You can submit a guest advertising request without a service provider account and retrieve its quote through a private access link. An enquiry does not incur a charge. Payment links require operator setup and publication follows manual payment verification. Sponsored content must be clearly labelled when advertising launches.

How do I report a problem?

Read the Support Centre for guidance. Use the contact form to open a prepared message in your email app and send it there. Saving a private draft alone does not notify support. Email support@anythingdone.co.za for help, or contact the appropriate authority for urgent incidents.

Can I cancel?

Paid membership renews monthly until cancelled. Cancel future renewals in Subscription and launch offer, or email support@anythingdone.co.za before the next collection. There is no cancellation penalty. See the Refund and Cancellation Policy for current-period access, cooling-off and refund rights.
