Can I only make one reservation? I want to work more.

When you're a new Hetalite, you can only make one reservation. However, once you successfully complete the first assignment you'll be able to reserve three assignments in a given week. As you build your reputation and have more completions, there will be more opportunities available.  

Do I need to buy items from the store and deliver them?

You're not buying anything from the store or delivering items to customers. All you need to do is go to the aisles that indicate the product category and record videos of the product in the aisle or end cap.

How do I get paid?

Hetal connects directly to your bank account via Plaid. You can do so in the Profile section of the Hetal app. You will maintain full privacy of your bank account. Neither Hetal nor Plaid stores any information to keep you protected.

Videos are reviewed within 1-3 business days.

When do I receive payment?
