Guard Matching Process - 4
Guards Apply & Clients Select

Application Review Process - 5
Secure Payment & Job Completion
Our secure UK payment system is built around held job payments and protects both sides:
- Review the agreed guard pay, your plan’s service fee and any eligible promotion before checkout
- Pay securely through Stripe before the booking is confirmed
- Funds remain with Stripe pending completion and the applicable release checks
- Guard pay is released after completion under the confirmation, dispute and payout process
- Guards keep their full agreed pay — no guard commission
Secure Payment Process
Two Separate Charges
Subscription vs Booking Payments
Your plan and each booking are billed separately and cover different things.
Each booking
- Guard services are paid separately for every booking
- A subscription never covers the guard’s pay
- The booking total is the agreed guard pay plus your plan’s service fee
- Paid securely through Stripe before the booking is confirmed
No plan removes booking fees entirely — every client pays a booking service fee on each booking, and that fee is lower on higher plans. There is no separate Stripe or card surcharge: payment processing is included, and standard guard payouts are covered by the client booking service fee.
Client Booking Journey
How Booking and Payment Works
The full journey from choosing a plan to the guard being paid — with no charge at the point of posting.
- 1
Create an account and choose a plan
Register and pick the plan that fits your booking volume. Your plan sets your posting allowance and service fee.
- 2
Post a job within your plan’s allowance
Describe the shift in minutes. Posting a job does not charge the booking payment.
- 3
Review applicants and select guards
Compare verified, SIA-licensed applicants and choose who you want for the shift.
- 4
Review your booking total
See the agreed guard pay, your plan’s service fee, any eligible promotion, and the final booking total.
- 5
Pay securely through Stripe
Payment is taken through Stripe before the booking is confirmed.
- 6
Funds remain with Stripe
Your payment is held pending completion and the applicable release checks.
- 7
Guard payment is released
After completion, guard pay is released under the existing confirmation, dispute and payout process.
Cancellations or disputes can affect payment release under the published policy. Existing funded bookings keep their recorded amounts and terms.
Worked Example
Payment Example
£100 agreed guard pay, before any eligible promotions. Booking fees are calculated on agreed guard pay.
| Plan | Subscription | Service fee | Fee on £100 | Client total | Guard receives |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | £0 | 15% | £15.00 | £115.00 | £100.00 |
| Starter | £49/mo or £490/yr | 10% | £10.00 | £110.00 | £100.00 |
| Pro | £99/mo or £990/yr | 7.5% | £7.50 | £107.50 | £100.00 |
| Enterprise | £199/mo or £1,990/yr | 5% | £5.00 | £105.00 | £100.00 |
The guard receives the full £100 under every plan. Payment processing and standard guard payouts are included, there is no separate Stripe or card surcharge, and eligible existing promotions reduce the service fee. The final amount is always shown before checkout, and tax is only shown where supported by the implemented checkout.

Everything you need to know about QuickGuard.uk

As soon as you post, QuickGuard notifies verified guards whose travel radius covers your location. You can review applications, check SIA credentials and confirm a guard as soon as applications arrive.
