Tasker Best Practices: Preparing for Your IKEA Prepaid Task

IKEA Prepaid Tasks offer a new way for Clients to book, schedule, and prepay for assembly services. These tasks offer more task invites, fewer cancellations, and fewer pricing errors, which means more successful tasks for you!

In this article, we’ve gathered everything you’ll need to know. Following the guidelines below will help ensure your task is a seamless experience.

• First, confirm your task is a Prepaid IKEA Task.
  There will be a clear identifier for all Prepaid IKEA Assembly tasks within the task details. It will show as ‘Prepaid’ next to the task details, like in the image below.
  
  If it’s a prepaid IKEA task, follow the rest of these guidelines:
  
  
• Review the details of the items to be assembled.  
  A full list of items that have been prepaid by the Client will be included in the task invitation and the task details.
  
  
• Remember, prepaid IKEA tasks do not need to be confirmed via chat with the Client.
  The Client has already scheduled and paid for the task directly with IKEA.
  
  
• However, after accepting the task, we suggest chatting with your Client to gather additional information.
  • Helpful questions to ask may be about the type of wall the item needs to be secured to (if applicable), where to park, and if there is a code to access a building.
    For more scoping questions, see this Support Center Article. 
  • Keep in mind - because the task does not need to be confirmed and the Client has already paid for and scheduled the task, they may not be as responsive within the chat. 

• The day before the scheduled task, contact your Client to notify them of your planned arrival time. 
  • You can do this through the task’s call or chat feature.
