Starting your visit and how you are charged

Updated Sep 10, 2026Verified Sep 10, 2026
  1. From Visits, click Join now when it appears (10 minutes before the start).
  2. For a priced visit, a Start session screen restates the price and asks you to agree that billing begins. Nothing is charged until your provider joins too.
  3. Check your camera and microphone, then join. If your provider has not arrived, the screen says so and billing has not started.
  4. Once you are both connected the clock starts. A flat-price visit shows the time left in the block you paid for. A per-minute visit shows time used and the running total.
  5. Leave the visit when you are done. Your receipt is emailed.
You are never charged for a visit that did not happen. If your provider never joins, the hold on your card is released.
