WHAT YOU GET
What an onboarded business gets.
An agent that answers, quotes and collects for you, from the moment you onboard.
01 · NEW CUSTOMERS
Enquiries from people already asking
When a Kiwi asks Kettle for what you do, the answer comes from this index. Onboarded businesses are shown first, with details you control.
02 · THE JOB, ALREADY DESCRIBED
Enquiries arrive with the details
What the customer needs, where and when lands on your phone, with a draft quote from your rates ready for you to check and send.
03 · YOUR PRICES, YOUR CALL
Quotes drafted from your own rates
You set the numbers once. The agent drafts, you review, and nothing reaches a customer until you approve it.
04 · NOTHING UP FRONT
You pay when you get paid
No monthly fee, no listing fee, no charge per lead or per quote. If nothing sells, Kettle costs you nothing at all.
05 · NO MINIMUM
Small work stays worth taking
A flat 5% with no floor. An $80 callout costs you $4, so you're not turning down the small stuff to protect a margin.
06 · YOUR MONEY, DIRECT
Paid straight to your account
A card payment reaches your own Stripe account as it is taken; a bank payment goes from the customer's bank to yours. Kettle never holds your money.
SIMPLE PRICING
5%. Here's exactly what that means.
No fine print, no tiers, no annual contract. One number, and you can see where it lands.

The customer pays your price and nothing more. If you're GST registered, your price includes your GST. Kettle's fee includes GST and covers the card and bank costs. Paid by card, the fee comes out as the payment is taken; paid by bank transfer, the full amount reaches you and the fee goes on your monthly statement.

GOOD TO KNOW
The straight answers.
What does it actually cost?
5% of each sale, with no minimum, taken when the customer pays. No monthly fee, no listing fee and no charge for enquiries or quotes.
Can the agent send a quote I haven't seen?
No. It drafts from the rates you set and waits for your approval every time. You can edit any quote before it goes.
How do I get paid?
Customers pay by card or bank transfer. One quick Stripe setup connects your bank account, and that's the only gate.
My business is already listed. Is that you?
Likely yes. We list New Zealand businesses so customers can find them. Onboard your business to control your details, rates and availability, and to start receiving enquiries.
I sell products, not services. Can I join?
Yes, onboard your business now. Quoting and bookings are live today. The Kettle Marketplace, for anyone who stocks or makes something, is in build and switches on for onboarded businesses as it lands, at the same 5%.
I just want a presence on Kettle. Is that enough?
Yes. Onboarding puts you in front of customers whose agent is searching for what you do, whether or not you're ready to sell online. You choose how far you take it from there.

ON YOUR PHONE

Work comes in while you're under a sink.

The job lands on your phone with the details already on it. Price it between jobs, not at nine at night.

Enquiries, not leads

From someone nearby who has already said what they need and when. You are not bidding against a list you paid to join.

Quote in a few taps

Call-out, hourly rate, hours, and the times you are free. The total, and what you keep after the 5% fee, are on screen before you send it.

Paid without chasing

The customer pays when the job is done and the money lands in your account. Nothing to pay to receive an enquiry or send a quote.
Free to list, free to quote. A small platform fee applies only to work you win.
