Every seller or merchant who registers on hecqo.com has to go through a verification process that involves verification of their identity proof and their place of business. Additionally, hecqo.com assigns a skill rating to each seller or merchant on 10 key parameters to determine relevancy and quality.

Buyers or home owners also rate merchants or sellers based on their experience of how services were delivered.

Quality sellers with higher skill rating and user rating will always be ranked higher. Those who do not make the cut will fade over a period of time.

You can search for merchants based on your need. The search listings will display merchants based on their rankings derived from their skill rating and user rating. Once you shortlist a merchant, you can directly book an appointment.

You have the option to pay the entire amount through us or you can pay directly to the merchant. In case, you wish to pay directly to the merchant, you need to pay a small booking amount for the appointment. The payments that you need to make are through credits that you purchase from us. 1 credit = 1 INR. You can choose to maintain a balance of credits in your account that you can redeem against purchases made. This way you need not transact every time you book a service.

If you pay the entire amount through us, you get a cash back of 5% in the form of credits that are added to your balance.

Sometimes, it is difficult to ascertain the actual value of services that you need. E.g. Architects for Home Interiors - in this case a final quote can be given by the merchant only after your requirement has been fully mapped. In this case, it is advisable to pay only the booking amount for the appointment and you can then pay the entire amount directly to the merchant.
