From application to payout.
Here's exactly what happens — start to finish — when you join DetailChimps and start running jobs.
Onboarding
- 1. Create your pro account
Sign up as a pro, set your business name, bio, and service area (cities across Canada — up to 50).
- 2. Submit your kit verification
Upload labeled photos of your soaps, microfibers, tools, and rig so we can confirm everything meets the DetailChimps spec sheet (or matches a preferred-partner equivalent).
- 3. Background check
We run a standard background check via our verified provider — or you can upload manual documents for admin review. Most checks clear within 24–48 hours.
- 4. Connect Stripe
Stripe Connect handles your identity, banking, and tax forms (1099 in the US, T4A in Canada). Takes about 5 minutes.
- 5. Go online
Open the pro app, flip the toggle, set your max drive radius, and start receiving job pings in your area.
On the job
- Job ping
When a customer books in your zone, the nearest available pro gets pinged with the address, service tier, ETA, and payout estimate. You have 60 seconds to accept.
- En route
Navigate via the in-app map. The customer sees a live ETA. Tap 'Arrived' when you're on site.
- Before photos
Capture the vehicle from required angles. The app guides you — bad lighting or missing angles are flagged before you start.
- Service
Work the tier scope. You can add approved upsells (decon, interior shampoo, sealant) and the customer confirms in-app.
- After photos & AI approval
Capture the after shots. Our AI checks paint, glass, wheels, and interior against the before photos. Pass = instant payout release. Borderline = quick human review.
- Rating & tips
Customer rates 1–5 stars and tips in-app. You keep 100% of the tip on top of your 80% take-home.
