Article 3 —Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

3.1 Questions from Farmers

 

❓ How do I reserve a tractor?

Open the app > Home > Search for a service > Select the type of work > Choose the date > Confirm the booking. The Vendor receives a notification and has 2 hours to accept.

 

❓ How do I pay for a service?

Payments are made exclusively via Mobile Money (MTN MoMo or Orange Money) and bank card directly within the application. The amount is debited only after the Vendor accepts the booking.

 

❓ What to do if a Vendor doesn't arrive?

Contact us via in-app chat or WhatsApp within 30 minutes of the scheduled time. An alternative solution will be offered within 2 hours. A full refund will be issued if the service is not provided.

 

3.2 Vendor Questions

 

❓ How do I validate my Vendor profile?

Submit the required documents (ID card/passport, photos of equipment, compliance documents) via Profile > Documents. Validation takes 24 to 72 business hours.

 

❓ When will I receive my payments?

Payments are released to your Mobile Money within 24 hours of confirmation of successful completion of the service by the Farmer, less the VicFarms commission (10%).

 

❓ How do I cancel an accepted reservation?

Go to My Bookings > Select the booking > Cancel. Cancellations made less than 12 hours before the appointment will incur a penalty. See the Cancellation Policy (Document 04/05).
