Everything you need to know about using Y-Pro to find professionals or grow your business.

How does Y-Pro work?

Y-Pro makes it simple to find the right professional for any job. Here is how it works:

  • Submit a request — Describe the service you need and provide a few details about your project.
  • Receive quotes — Verified professionals in your area will review your request and send you personalized quotes.
  • Compare and hire — Review profiles, ratings, portfolios, and pricing. When you find the right fit, hire them directly through the platform.

Is it free to post a service request?

Yes, absolutely! Posting a service request on Y-Pro is completely free for clients. There are no hidden fees or commitments. You can post as many requests as you need, receive quotes from professionals, and only pay the professional once you decide to hire them.

How do I choose the right professional?

Y-Pro provides several tools to help you make an informed decision:

  • Verified badges — Professionals who pass our identity and credential verification receive a verified badge.
  • Ratings and reviews — Read honest feedback from previous clients about quality, communication, and reliability.
  • Portfolio — Browse photos and descriptions of past work completed by each professional.
  • Messaging — Chat directly with professionals before hiring to discuss project details and expectations.

How long does it take to get quotes?

Most clients receive their first quote within a few hours of posting a request. Depending on the service category and your location, you may receive multiple quotes within 24 to 48 hours. Popular services like home cleaning, plumbing, or photography tend to get faster responses.

What if I am not satisfied with the service?

Your satisfaction is our top priority. If you are not happy with the service provided, we recommend the following steps:

  • Contact the professional — Most issues can be resolved directly by communicating through the platform messaging system.
  • Leave an honest review — Your feedback helps other clients and holds professionals accountable.
  • Contact Y-Pro support — If you are unable to resolve the issue, reach out to our support team and we will mediate the situation and work toward a fair resolution.

How do I pay the professional?

Payment is arranged directly between you and the professional. Y-Pro does not process payments on behalf of users. Most professionals accept bank transfers, cash on completion, or online payment methods. We recommend discussing payment terms with your professional before work begins, including deposit requirements and final payment timing.

Is my personal information safe?

Yes, we take data privacy very seriously. Your personal information is protected in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and Taiwan's relevant data protection regulations. Your contact details are only shared with professionals you choose to engage with. We never sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. You can review our full Privacy Policy for more details.

Can I see reviews before hiring a professional?

Yes! Every professional on Y-Pro has a public profile that includes their average rating, individual reviews from past clients, and a portfolio of completed work. We encourage all clients to leave reviews after each job so the community benefits from transparent feedback. You can also filter professionals by rating when browsing our directory.

What areas does Y-Pro cover?

Y-Pro currently operates in Malaysia and Taiwan. In Malaysia, we serve all major states including Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang, Johor, and more. In Taiwan, we cover major cities including Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and surrounding areas. We are actively expanding to new regions, so check back often or contact us if you would like us to expand to your area.

Can I cancel my service request?

Yes, you can cancel a service request at any time from your dashboard, as long as you have not already hired a professional for the job. Simply go to your requests list, select the request you wish to cancel, and click the cancel button. If you have already hired a professional, we recommend contacting them directly through the messaging system to discuss cancellation and any related terms before canceling.

Visit the Become a Pro page to see the latest plans and pricing.

How do I get clients on Y-Pro?

Clients come to Y-Pro to find professionals like you. Here is how to attract more business:

  • Complete your profile — Profiles with photos, portfolios, and detailed service descriptions get significantly more enquiries.
  • Respond quickly — Professionals who reply to requests within a few hours are more likely to be hired.
  • Provide competitive quotes — Fair pricing combined with quality service descriptions helps you stand out.
  • Earn great reviews — Positive reviews boost your visibility in search results and build trust with potential clients.

What is the commission fee?

Y-Pro operates on a subscription and credit-based model rather than taking a percentage commission from each job. This means you keep 100% of what you earn from clients. Instead, you use credits to unlock client requests and send quotes. Credits can be purchased individually or included as part of a monthly subscription plan, making it more predictable and fair for professionals of all sizes.

How do I get verified?

Verification builds trust and can significantly increase your chances of being hired. To get verified on Y-Pro:

  • Identity verification — Upload a valid government-issued ID (IC or passport).
  • Business verification — Provide your business registration number (SSM in Malaysia) or relevant business license.
  • Qualification verification — For specialized services, upload relevant certifications or licenses (e.g., electrical wiring license, plumbing certification).

Our team reviews submissions within 1 to 3 business days. Once approved, a verified badge appears on your profile.

How do quotes work?

When a client posts a service request that matches your service categories and location, it appears in your dashboard. You can review the request details and, if interested, send a quote that includes:

  • Your proposed price for the job
  • A personalized message explaining your approach
  • Estimated timeline for completion

The client then reviews all received quotes and decides which professional to hire. Sending a quote uses credits from your account balance.

Can I set my own prices?

Yes, you have full control over your pricing. Y-Pro does not dictate how much you charge for your services. When sending a quote, you set the price based on the scope of the project, your experience, and market rates. We provide a Price Guide that shows average market rates for common services to help both clients and professionals set fair expectations, but it is entirely up to you to determine your pricing.

What service categories are available?

Y-Pro covers a wide range of service categories including but not limited to:

  • Home Services — Cleaning, plumbing, electrical, air-conditioning, renovation, painting
  • Events — Photography, videography, catering, event planning, entertainment
  • Health and Wellness — Personal training, massage therapy, nutrition consulting
  • Education — Tutoring, music lessons, language classes
  • Business Services — Accounting, legal consultation, web design, digital marketing

If your service is not listed, contact us and we will consider adding it to the platform.
