Version: v1.0
Last Updated: May 30, 2026
This guide walks you from your BookMaMe invitation to your rental business going live.
Overview of the process
Receive invitation email

→ Pay the submission fee (if applicable)
→ Fill in and submit the form
→ BookMaMe reviews your application
→ Receive approval notification
→ Pay the approval fee (if applicable)

The submission fee is non-refundable — charged before you submit and not returned even if the application is later declined.

The fulfillment mode flags matter: if you select third-party delivery you'll assign a delivery company after going live (see Delivery Partner Assignment).
Use Save Draft to return later. When ready, tap Submit Application.
Step 4 — Review
The team verifies your documents, address, and rental category, typically within a few business days.
Step 5 — Approval and activation fee
On approval you receive the approval fee amount and a payment link. Pay via Paystack; once paid (or waived), your account is created.
