The orders that clients place on your platform are what makes your business profitable and therefore, we continuously try to improve their experience. Let's take a look at the different options for placing an order.

We currently support three types of orders, long term, short term and flexible orders.

Long Term Orders - These are recurring orders that typically last more than three weeks and consist of a set number of hours to be worked per day. Also for this type of order the same person works every shift within the order, it cannot be multiple people.

Short Term Orders - These may be considered as gig- style orders that occur on a short term basis and also have set hours to be worked per day.

Flexible Orders - These are orders wherein there are no set hours per day, meaning that the client may estimate a job to take a certain number of hours but no specific start or end time is set per day for the candidate to work; just a start date and an end date.

For example, today is September 14 and a client places a flexible order for a job they think should take 20hrs and wants it done by September 17th. The candidate can work however long each day but just needs to ensure the job is completed by the 17th.

Should you wish to enable flexible orders; It’s as easy as navigating to “Platform setup” -> “Order Form”, scroll to “Schedule” and click on “Select Field” to enable “No Fixed Schedule” and click “Lets Go”.
