Why Accepting Payment Outside of Skilldizer is Against Policy and Best Practices

Adhering to Payment Policies on Skilldizer: Ensuring a Secure and Reliable Learning Environment

Updated over 5 months ago

🌟 Attention Skilldizer Tutors! 🌟

As a Skilldizer tutor, it's important to follow our payment policies to ensure a smooth, secure, and reliable learning experience for both you and your students. Here's why accepting payment outside of Skilldizer goes against our policies and best practices:


Policy Violation 🚫

Accepting payments outside the Skilldizer platform is a serious violation of our Terms of Service! All payments for your classes with Skilldizer students must go through the platform to keep everything transparent and accountable. We want to ensure a safe environment for everyone!


📋 Clear Expectations and Guidelines

Our Skilldizer Tutors Policies Code of Conduct is here to guide you! Tutors who violate these guidelines may be removed from Skilldizer, so please read and follow them carefully. 🙏


💸 Declining Off-Platform Payment Requests

If a student asks you to accept payment outside of Skilldizer, kindly decline and remind them that all payments and class bookings must be made through your Skilldizer teaching profile. 📱


⚠️ Why Off-Platform Payments Are Risky ⚠️

  1. Payment Risks 💳
    Transactions outside Skilldizer carry payment risks. Students may not honor their payment commitments, and you could be left without payment for your hard work! 😞

  2. Reputation Impact 🌟
    Skilldizer’s reputation management system helps both students and tutors build their credibility. Off-platform payments don’t contribute to your reputation or feedback, and could damage it instead! 🚨

  3. No Feedback or Social Credit 📝
    Off-platform transactions don’t allow students to leave feedback or help build your social credit on Skilldizer. Missing out on these reviews means you miss out on trust! 💯

  4. Privacy & Security Risks 🔒
    Skilldizer ensures privacy protection by not requiring you to share your personal contact info. Off-platform interactions expose you to unnecessary privacy risks! 🛑

  5. Lack of Recordkeeping & Support 🗂
    Classes booked and paid through Skilldizer are recorded in our system, so if any issues arise, we can assist you right away. Off-platform transactions mean there’s no official record to resolve potential disputes. ❌

  6. Marketplace Integrity 🏅
    Off-platform payments damage the integrity of Skilldizer’s marketplace, which affects the reliability of times and prices for everyone. Let’s keep it fair and trustworthy for all! ⚖️


⚠️ Important Warning to Tutors ⚠️

Tutors found requesting or accepting off-platform payments will face removal from Skilldizer, and any remaining Skilldizer Credits will be confiscated. We take policy violations seriously to protect the community and maintain trust.


🎯 Why Stick to the Platform? 🎯

By following Skilldizer's payment policies, you'll ensure a seamless, secure, and fair learning experience for you and your students. Your reputation, privacy, and support are our top priority, and we truly appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the integrity of our platform. 🧡

Let's keep Skilldizer a trusted and safe environment for learning! Thank you for being part of our community! 😊
