An explanation of how the payment system works, including step-by-step guidance on making and managing payments.

*Step-by-step guide:*

*Setting Up Your Payment Method:*

- Link your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card) to the platform before making your first booking. Payments will be processed securely through Stripe.

*How Payments Work:*

- Once the booking is complete, the payment will automatically be processed, and the sitter will be paid directly through the app.

*Tipping and Feedback:*

- If you were especially pleased with the sitter, you can add a tip through the app when the booking ends.
- Don’t forget to leave a recommendation for the sitter!

*Managing Multiple Payments:*

- If you’re using sitters frequently, The Village Co. tracks all your payments for easy reference.
