Getting started

Is LUXA free to download?+

Yes. Download and account creation are free. Premium features are on our optional subscription plans.

How do I install the Android APK safely?+

Only download from luxa.live. Verify the SHA-256 hash shown on the /download page matches your downloaded file before installing.

When will LUXA be available on the App Store?+

We're in Apple's review pipeline. Join the iOS waitlist on /download and we'll email you at launch.

Which countries can I use LUXA in?+

LUXA works globally with automatic currency detection. Provider coverage is densest in South Africa today, and expanding — you can still request a quote anywhere and we'll notify pros as they join your area.

Booking a service · step-by-step

1. Pick a service+

Open the app, tap Services, and choose the category you need (cleaning, childcare, driver, chef, wellness, and more).

2. Set the location, time and duration+

Drop a pin on the map for the exact spot, pick when you need it, and adjust the duration slider. Add notes for the pro if needed.

3. Request quotes+

Tap Request quotes — it's free. Every verified pro nearby who covers your category is notified in real time and replies with their own hourly rate and ETA.

4. Review each offer+

In Bookings, open an offer to see the provider's hourly rate, live subtotal, LUXA 20% commission, provider earnings (80%) and total payable. Adjust duration and the estimate updates instantly.

5. Confirm & book+

Tap Confirm & book to lock in that pro at the shown total. Other offers are declined automatically and the booking flips to Confirmed.

6. Track and rate+

Follow the pro on the live map. After the job, your payout is released to the provider and you can leave a rating.

Can I cancel or change a booking?+

Yes — from Bookings, use Cancel before the pro is en route. Changes made after a quote is accepted may affect the total; the timeline logs every action.

Pricing & payments

How is the price calculated?+

Each provider sets their own hourly rate within LUXA's approved range for that service. The total is hourly rate × duration, plus any active surcharges (weekends, peak hours, public holidays or emergency bookings).

What is LUXA's commission?+

LUXA takes a flat 20% platform commission. Providers keep 80% of every booking. Admins can adjust this platform-wide if regulations require it.

When am I charged?+

Nothing is charged when you request quotes. Payment is taken when you confirm a specific offer. Provider earnings are held until the job is marked completed, then released.

Which currency will I see?+

LUXA auto-detects your currency and converts prices from the provider's base currency. You always see totals in your local currency before confirming.

Do you support tips?+

Yes — after a completed job you can add a tip. 100% of tips go to the provider.

Trust, safety & privacy

Are providers verified?+

Every provider goes through phone OTP verification, ID checks and admin review before appearing in the marketplace. Only 'Verified' pros can receive bookings.

How is my data handled?+

See our Privacy Policy. We never sell your data and use bank-grade encryption for all payments and messages.

What if something goes wrong during a booking?+

Message our team in the booking chat or email us (below). Every booking has a full activity timeline so our team can review exactly what happened.

For service providers

How do I become a LUXA partner?+

Tap 'Become a partner' from the home page. Registration is 100% free — you'll pass phone + ID verification and go live once approved.

How do I set my rate?+

During onboarding, pick your hourly rate within LUXA's approved range for your category. You can update it later from your partner dashboard.

When do I get paid?+

Earnings are held on the booking and released to your wallet after the customer marks the job as completed. Request a payout any time your wallet balance is positive.

How does job matching work?+

When a customer requests quotes near you, we alert every verified pro whose category and service radius covers that location — in real time. You reply with your price and ETA.
