CHEFINNIT POLICIES
Peer-to-Peer Payment Notice
Last updated September 2, 2026. On the live Chefinnit marketplace, chefs create quotes and invoices inside the product. Customers pay sellers directly. Chefinnit does not collect, hold, transmit, settle, or guarantee those payments.
How payment works
After an inquiry, a seller may send a versioned invoice that includes line items, total, optional message, order agreement text, and payment instructions such as Zelle, Cash App, cash, or other lawful methods. You pay the seller outside Chefinnit using those instructions. Do not send bank passwords, PINs, full card numbers, Social Security numbers, or government ID images through Chefinnit messages.
Confirmation is not bank verification
A customer may submit a payment reference and a seller may mark payment received in the order tracker. Those actions are communications between users so both sides can coordinate fulfillment. They are not confirmation by Chefinnit that money moved, cleared, or is free of fraud.
Protect yourself
Pay only the recipient named on the current Chefinnit invoice. Do not pay an altered screenshot, an unexpected username, or anyone who pressures you to bypass the order record. Confirm changes in the Chefinnit order conversation. Report suspected impersonation or fraud to support@chefinnit.com and, when appropriate, to your payment provider.
Sellers
Sellers are responsible for accurate payment instructions, tax treatment of amounts they receive, and resolving payment disputes with their customers. Chef Studio checkout policy settings help present instructions; they do not make Chefinnit a money transmitter for customer-to-seller food payments.
