New Feature: Increasing the task price

Is the task bigger than it first seemed or extra items need picking up? Once an offer has been accepted, either the Job Poster or Tasker can increase the task price.

How does this help you?

This will help with changing the task price without the hassle of contacting support, handling cash or cancelling tasks.

The task price might need to increase because:

  • There’s more work that needs to be done than initially thought
  • The Airtasker needs to pick up some extra things which weren’t included in the original price.

How can you increase the task price?

As a Job Poster:

Desktop
iOS
Android
  1. On the task, select increase price above the green private message button.
  2. Enter how much you’d like to add and mention why you’re increasing the price.
  3. Once payment is made with Airtasker Pay the task price is automatically updated.
  1. On the task, select increase price above the green private message button.

  3. Once payment is made with Airtasker Pay the task price is automatically updated.

As a Tasker:

  3. Enter how much you’d like to add and mention why you want to increase the price.
  4. Select continue.

What else do you need to know?

The price can only be increased 3 times (to a maximum of $500 overall). Also, at the moment you can only increase the price, not decrease it.

Just so you know, the service fee is applicable on all price increases.
