Safety and records

Keep important activity inside FixyNG

Use job chat

Keep scope, arrival, material, and price discussions attached to the job. This gives both sides a clearer record if a question arises.

Check before confirming

Customers should inspect work before completion. Providers should make sure the agreed scope is finished before requesting confirmation.

Use price review

Record onsite changes through the price-review feature instead of relying on an undocumented verbal agreement.

Report a problem

Open the affected job and use the available dispute or support action. Include a clear reason and supporting image when requested.

Troubleshooting

Common questions

My account was activated but still appears inactive

Pull down to refresh the customer Home screen, return to the app after briefly switching away, or reopen FixyNG. If the status still does not update, sign out and sign in again, then contact support with your account email.

I did not receive my verification or password-reset code

Confirm the email spelling and check Spam or Junk. Wait for the resend timer before requesting another code. Use only the newest code because older codes may no longer be valid.

The Test of Life page did not open or complete

Check your connection, allow camera access, and try again from Profile. Complete the prompts in good lighting. Return to FixyNG and refresh the verification status after the hosted page finishes.

I cannot post or bid for a job

Confirm that your account status is Active, your email is verified, and required KYC is complete. Providers must also finish provider review and activation. Marketplace actions may be temporarily paused during scheduled maintenance.

My selected booking time is rejected

A same-day booking must be later than the current time. Return to Timing & Planning and select a new date and time. The booking uses the timezone shown on that screen.

A card or wallet payment has not appeared

Return to Payment method or the award flow and refresh the payment profile. Bank transfers and Paystack confirmations can take a short time to arrive. Do not repeat a payment until you have checked its status.

I am not receiving chat messages

Open Help & Support → App Settings and make sure chat messages are enabled. Also check phone notification permission and your internet connection.

Still need help?

Return to Help & Support in the FixyNG app and select Contact Us. Include your account email and the affected job reference where applicable.
