An invoice ID is a number generated for your reference after every successful checkout. This invoice will contain all the items bought in a single purchase.
In order to continue providing you with memorable experiences you will be charged a service fee of 15% on the gross price of the experience similar to the service fee you pay in a London restaurant.
That's easy - simply hover the cursor over your profile to activate the drop-down bar and click on “Purchases”. Here you'll see your Purchase History page where you can access details of orders that you have placed - including invoice ID, timestamp, item, quantity, event booking date and order status.
Once you have found an experience you wish to book, enter the date, time and number of attendees. From here you can click the "Buy Now" button if the HOMEtainer allows instant booking. You will be asked for your details and the address where the experience is to take place.
Next, review the order details one last time before clicking “Proceed to payment”. Check the payment details and click “Pay now”. A pop up box will appear so that you can fill in your credit card details. Once the payment is done, you will be redirected back to HOMEtainment’s site.
If the Experience offers the "Enquire" option, you can submit your details to the HOMEtainer for him to accept the booking. You will receive a message from the HOMEtainer and you will be able to proceed to purchase from the chat screen.
