Step 01

Sign Up

Create your account and complete onboarding — takes about 10–15 minutes.

What Happens When You Sign Up

Signing up as a Bublr is the most involved step — but it only happens once. Everything you do here builds the profile Bubld use to match you with jobs.

Here's what the signup process involves:

  • •Download the free Bublr app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
  • •Create your account with your personal information — name, email, phone number, and address.
  • •Upload a clear profile photo.
  • •Verify your phone number via a one-time SMS code.
  • •Upload your driver's license, car registration, and car insurance — both sides of each.
  • •Photograph your Bublr vehicle from all four sides.
  • •Upload photos of your car wash equipment — this tells customers what services you can offer.
  • •Set your service area radius and preferred working hours.
  • •Connect your Stripe account to receive direct deposit payments.
  • •Complete a background check through Checkr — instructions are sent by email.

How Long Does Approval Take?

Document review by Bubld:typically 24–48 hours.
Background check via Checkr:typically 1–5 business days.

You'll receive in-app notifications at each stage so you always know your status.

You will not be able to start any jobs until all your documentation has been reviewed and approved by our team.

Step 02

Go Online

Open the app when you're ready to work. You control the switch.

What 'Going Online' Actually Means

Going online is simple: you open the Bublr app and tap the button to make yourself available. From that moment, you can start receiving job offers near your current location.

There are no requirements for how often you go online, no minimum hours per week, and no penalties for going offline whenever you want. This is entirely your call.

Key Points for This Step

  • ✓You can go online at any time — morning, afternoon, evening, any day of the week.
  • ✓Your service area radius determines which job offers you'll see. You can adjust this at any time.
  • ✓Going offline takes one tap. No explanation required.
  • ✓You are never penalized for going offline or for being offline for extended periods.
  • ✓Your schedule settings are a guide, not a commitment. You can override them manually at any time.
Step 03

Accept Jobs

Review every detail before you commit. No pressure.No penalties for not accepting a wash.

Note: Getting assigned a job is all dependent on the algorithm's final decision.

How Job Offers Work

When a customer books a car wash near you, Bubld sends you a job offer. You'll see the full details of every offer before you make any decision. Nothing is hidden.

What You See in Every Job Offer

Service TypeExactly which car wash package or add-on the customer has booked.
LocationThe address or area where the job takes place.

Complete Earnings Transparency — Always

You will never accept a job without knowing exactly what you'll earn. The payment shown in the offer is the payment you receive. No hidden deductions after the fact. This transparency is one of the core principles Bubld is built on.

Step 04

Get Paid

Complete the job and receive payment directly to your account. Fast and secure.

How Payments Work

Once you complete a job and it is confirmed in the app, your payment is processed automatically. You never have to invoice a customer, chase a payment, or handle cash.

Bubld handles all billing on your behalf. Your earnings go directly to the bank account you connected through Stripe during setup.

Payment Details

DetailHow It Works
Payment ProcessorStripe — secure, trusted by millions of businesses worldwide.
Payment ScheduleWeekly direct deposit to your connected bank account.
Early PayoutAvailable on request. Additional Stripe fees may apply.
Monthly FeeStripe charges $2.00/month for account management. This is charged by Stripe, not Bubld.
What You See UpfrontYour full earnings for every job — shown before you accept.
Customer BillingHandled entirely by Bubld. You never collect payment from customers directly.

You Never Touch the Money

Customers pay Bubld through the app. Bubld processes the payment and deposits your share directly. You will never ask a customer for cash, accept card payments, or wait to be paid in person. This protects you and creates a professional experience for every customer.

Earnings Disclaimer

Earnings vary by location, services offered, availability, and customer demand. You will always see the full payment amount for each individual job before accepting it. Bubld does not guarantee minimum earnings or a minimum number of job offers.
