How Chambazo Works
Post work clearly.
Know what happens next.
Chambazo welcomes signups across the U.S.; Gig availability varies by location. Workers keep the posted pay. Gig posters pay the full disclosed total at publication: worker pay plus a flat 15% platform fee.
For Workers
Choose the gigs that fit your schedule.
Create your free account
Create an account, add the skills you actually offer, and finish payout setup so you can apply. Identity verification is optional and adds a visible badge when completed.
Verification badges report completed checks; they are not a safety guarantee.
Choose gigs near you
Browse the gigs currently listed in your area. Choose Apply when one fits, or Skip when it does not. What appears depends on what local gig posters have published.
No cover letter — review the posted rate and apply.
Apply, then follow the booking state
Gig posters review applicants and choose a worker. Chambazo shows whether you applied, hold a reserved spot, or have a payment-secured booking.
The gig poster picks a worker; the booking becomes final once you accept and payment is secured.
Show up · clock in
Clock in when you arrive. The shift time is recorded; when location permission is available, clock-in also stores a one-time GPS stamp. Clock out when done.
The record supports later review; Chambazo does not continuously track you.
Receive payout after the shift
Payment releases automatically after the 24-hour reporting window following the shift if no issue is open. A report from either person pauses release for review. Standard bank payouts are automatic and have no Chambazo fee; arrival depends on Stripe and your bank. You keep 100% of posted pay.
Direct deposit via Stripe; bank timing can vary.

For Gig Posters
Publish and fund the Gig. Then choose your worker.
Post a clear gig
Name the role, set the posted rate or flat price, and add the date, time, area, and work details. Review everything before you publish.
The full disclosed total is charged at publication. Eligible workers can then view the listing and apply.
Workers apply — you pick
Applicants appear when workers choose to apply. Review the profile, listed skills, available work record, and identity badge before you choose.
Payment was collected at publication. Follow each selected worker’s confirmation in the booking.
Clock-in leaves a shift record
The worker clocks in and you can review the timestamp. When the worker grants location permission, the record also includes a one-time GPS stamp; it is not continuous tracking.
GigCheck monitors confirmed active shifts and can alert both sides after a missed clock-in.
Release payment after completed work
The payment collected at publication releases after the 24-hour reporting window following the shift if no issue is open. A report from either person pauses release for review. If the work never happens, unused money is refunded.
If something went wrong, open a dispute within 24 hours of the scheduled shift end so the payment remains unreleased during review.
