The Notifications section of your account is where you can see the approval status of your bookings as well as make reviews of the services you have bought. Pay close attention to this section when you purchase services through Ocoos to find out if your purchase is approved, pending, or declined.

When booking a service, sometimes I can pick anytime I want and others I have to make a selection from a Calendar, why is this?

Some Service Providers allow you to select any date and time in their working hours while others only offer their service on a particular date and time. For example, when you book a massage, you determine when you would like to come in depending on the Service Providers availability, but when you go to an exercise class, they only are available on select dates and times.

What information is given to the Service Provider when I purchase a service?

When you purchase a service on Ocoos, we automatically upload your information into the Service Providers administrative tools, just as if you were in their place of business giving them information. The information they obtain includes your Name, Email, Phone number, City, and State (We do NOT give them your address). We also provide them with the transaction information of your purchase including the date of purchase, date of service, quantity purchased, and dollar amount (NOT your credit card information). Your credit card information is processed securely through Authorize.net and never is seen by Ocoos or the Service Provider.
