Payment & Billing

Payment & Billing

Accompany uses secure platform payments to keep bookings organized, transparent, and protected.

Clear payment expectations help sessions feel more comfortable, professional, and easy to understand for both users and companions.

Secure Platform Payments

Secure Platform Payments

Using platform payments helps keep bookings clear, organized, and professionally managed for everyone involved.

Payments stay organized

Keeping payments on-platform ensures every booking is tracked, transparent, and professionally managed for both parties.

No surprise charges

You'll always see exactly what you're paying before confirming. Pricing is agreed upon upfront with no hidden additions.

Protected for everyone

Platform payments create a clear record that protects both users and companions if questions ever arise after a session.

Please keep all payments through the platform. Arranging payment outside of Accompany removes the organization and protection that platform payments provide for both users and companions.

Session Timing

When Sessions Generally Begin

Most sessions begin once both parties meet at the agreed location and time.

Session start time

Sessions generally begin at the agreed meeting time and location. Billing is based on the booked session duration unless a session extension is agreed upon by both parties.

Travel time

Travel time to the session location is not generally considered part of the session unless specifically discussed and agreed upon before booking.

Duration expectations

The session duration is set at the time of booking. Both parties should have a shared understanding of when the experience begins and when it concludes.

Unique arrangements

If unique travel or scheduling arrangements are needed, they should be discussed clearly before confirming the booking to avoid any confusion.
