Common questions.
Is it free for users?
Browsing and booking free activities costs nothing. For paid activities, you pay the price the host sets — no extra fees on top.
How do hosts get paid?
Hosts connect their bank account via Stripe. When someone books a paid activity, the payment is held securely and released to the host after the activity takes place.
What does The Local charge?
We take a 10% platform fee on paid bookings only. Free activities are completely free — no catch. Hosts keep 90% of every paid booking.
What if I need to cancel?
Users get a full refund if they cancel a paid booking. Hosts can also cancel — all attendees are automatically refunded.
Can I host for free?
Absolutely. Many hosts list free activities — meetups, community events, group runs, and more. No fees, no limits.
How do I become a host?
Just sign up and create your first activity. There's no approval process — anyone can host. To accept payments, connect your bank account in settings.
