16 The last step in the booking process is to select a School P&C for sponsorship.
An Experience can be booked 12 months in advance.
Usually, our GoLove Providers are very specific about the suburbs they cover. If you would still like to request a particular Provider, please send an enquiry to Team GoLove and we will endeavour to follow up on your behalf.
When your booking is accepted, you are sent an email with the booking details, in that there will be, ‘Additional Information’. This has important details that may be required for the provider to carry out the experience e.g. a parking space close to the venue (Providers may have heavy goods to offload), a table, an electric socket, enough space for animals or a bouncing castle. Such requests can be essential for the Provider to provide the best experience.
Payment methods
You have the choice of using the following methods when making a payment:
Card payments: We accept all major cards, simply add your card details and request a booking.
Of course! We will send you an SMS and an email with the details of your accepted booking.
Absolutely! You can book multiple Experiences on GoLove. One of the benefits of booking through GoLove is that all your events are in one place and are easy to manage. You will have to make separate bookings for each Experience. We are working towards a shopping cart feature!
Payment on GoLove is through a secure escrow system that is powered by our world-class payment provider, Stripe! Here’s how it works:
•When you book an Experience, payment is immediately taken from your card. It’s held securely in an escrow account with Stripe until the GoLove Provider accepts your booking.
•The payment is then processed and 40% of the amount is paid to the GoLove Provider as a deposit
•The remaining amount is held by GoLove until your booked Experience is completed.
•Upon completion, you have 24 hours to raise a complaint if needed, otherwise the remaining funds will be transferred to the GoLove Provider within 3-7 business days.
•Then 15% of the GoLove revenue is given as sponsorship to your nominated school P&C.
We’ve created this payment system to be fair for everyone, to create peace of mind and a secure way to give and receive payments.
Yes, we will send you an email notification with all your GoLove Experience details 24 hours before the experience takes place.
No, you only pay the listed amount for your booking including any Optional Extras added on to your Package.

Bookings are created once your payment is processed therefore, if you are not notified that a payment has been made then please contact us so that we can follow up with this issue.
Discounts
The discount voucher needs to be applied during check-out, in the section called ‘Discount Code’. Add the Voucher Code and click on ‘apply’. Once applied, the voucher value will automatically reduce your total price. Continue to follow the checkout process to complete the booking.
The date can be found on the voucher, please avail the discount before it expires.

Please send an enquiry to Team GoLove and we will endeavour to help you out.
If your booking was not accepted or cancelled by the Service Provider, your Voucher Code will be revalidated, so you can use it on another Experience. In the event of your cancellation, the Voucher Code will become void.
Sponsorships
Kindness is giving to others and our vision is to partner with communities around the world for the welfare of as many children as possible. Every child deserves the opportunity to be educated and ultimately live life to their highest potential. We want to create a culture of inspiration, love, and sharing so that every individual feels valued. That’s what makes us GoLove.
Sponsoring a school is GoLove’s commitment to the community, it doesn’t cost you anything but offers an opportunity to ‘pay it forward’ through your booking. GoLove sponsors a portion of its proceeds to a School P&C of your choice. Through collaborative support, we can ensure every child benefits, and that’s a big win for the community.
It doesn’t cost you anything but offers an opportunity to ‘pay it forward’ through your booking. GoLove sponsors a portion of its proceeds to a School P&C of your choice
After you have paid for your booking, and a request has been sent to the GoLove Provider you will be directed to a page where you can nominate your school. The names of the schools are pre-generated, once you start typing the name of the school, it will appear for you to select and then you can click ‘Sponsor Now’. You can choose to save that school choice for future bookings.
The school will receive notification that a sponsorship has been made once the event is completed. The P&C will receive your sponsorship within 3-7 working days. They will NOT have the details of who has nominated them.
The best way is to contact Team GoLove and we can let you know if the school has activated their account. If they haven’t we will contact the school on your behalf and inform them of the GoLove community initiative.
Absolutely! Customers can sponsor any school that they wish to support.
Please contact Team GoLove at your earliest convenience and we will do our due diligence. In your sponsorship page, leave it blank and once the school has been reviewed we will pay the sponsorship as normal.
Yes, without a doubt, provided you have your documentation and are a registered not-for-profit. Your homeschool community can be nominated with each booking you make, and we can put it into our systems. To find out if your community qualifies, get in touch with Team GoLove.

• Sign in to your account and press the ‘Bookings’ tab
• Under the ‘Actions’ column you will see a grey button marked ‘Reschedule’.
• After you press ‘Reschedule’ there will be a pop-up confirming the date and time of your booking. If you change your mind, you can ‘cancel’ the request at this point. If you are ready to reschedule, press the button marked ‘Yes, request reschedule.’
• Once you have clicked the reschedule button you will be prompted to leave a message. You need to provide a concise and appropriate reason as well as alternative dates and times. Click on the ‘Submit’ button to forward your request to the Provider.
• Your request will be sent to the GoLove Provider who will be prompted to contact you via phone. They will have 36 hours to respond to your request. If they cannot reach you, they will submit an alternative date and time for you to review.
• You will be notified of the alternative date and time from the Provider via SMS & email. Click on the ‘Red’ button saying 'Review'. Respond to this within 24 hours otherwise the booking will revert to the original date and time. The link will take you to your dashboard where you will see a prompt stating ‘Action required’ in your Bookings tab.
• In your Bookings tab (personal dashboard) you will see a red button under actions marked 'Resolve'. You will have the option to accept or decline the alternative date and time.
• If you accept the suggestion, a new date and time will be sent to you and the GoLove Provider.
• If you decline the suggestion, the booking will revert to the original date and time.
Any reschedule requests made by the Customer must be actioned by the GoLove Provider through their dashboard. They have the ownership of the changes, however the Customer has to accept or decline those changes.
The GoLove Provider also has the option to decline your request which means you may need to cancel the booking. Please refer to our T&Cs for more information about cancellations and refunds.
Follow the same steps as above, however, note that the time for the Provider to respond to your reschedule request is greatly reduced. GoLove advises that you contact Team GoLove at your earliest in case you do not hear back.
Yes, they can reschedule a booking, but the process is slightly different. You will receive a courtesy email, the moment a GoLove Provider prompts a reschedule for your booking. The Service Providers are requested to contact the Customer in the first instance and then submit the new alternative date and time through mutual discussion. If they are unable to contact the Customer, they can submit an alternative date and time online via GoLove account. This will be sent to the Customer to accept or decline. If there is no mutual agreement on the reschedule request, the Service Provider may have to cancel the booking. Please refer to our T&Cs for more information about cancellations and refunds.
Customers can ‘Decline’ the rescheduled request, and the booking will revert to its original date and time. If the GoLove Provider cancels the booking, you will receive a 100% refund on your booking. See Cancellations, Reschedules & Refund Policies.

Trust & Safety

Our search function allows Customers to find location-specific and/or mobile experiences with ease. It has a fully integrated payment system and a simple booking calendar allowing them to conveniently and confidently book and pay for experiences on the GO.
GoLove’s personable and transparent approach allows it to be the medium that strengthens the relationship between local businesses and school communities. Further empowering Customers to make a decision that benefits children in the community as well as future generations.
Your foremost priority in the event of a natural disaster is to look after the safety of yourself and your family. Reschedules or cancellations and subsequent refunds, if applicable, will be actioned thereafter. See Cancellation, Reschedules & Refund Policy.
We love this sense of community & support and encourage you to share our website, social media or a specific experience link with your friends and family.
Children’s safety is our absolute priority and we ensure that all of our Service Providers are certified with the nationally recognised Working with Children Check (WWCC).
When anyone works (either online or in person) with children in a paid, self-employed or voluntary capacity, they must have a WWCC clearance. A clearance means that the Provider has passed a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace misconduct. These are valid for 5 years from the Clearance Date and are continually monitored by the police authorities during this period for any changes or concerns.
GoLove requires evidence of this WWCC number, before publicly listing any of our GoLove Providers so that all parties can be confident and have peace of mind for the safety of all children in our network.
•If you would like to know more about WWCC you can check Service NSW
• If you would like to check a WWCC Number
•If you would like to apply for a WWCC

Experiences
An ‘Experience’ is a GoLove terminology for a service offered by a Provider for a variety of children’s entertainment and educational activities. If you own a face painting company, for instance, you might provide unique experiences. Such as a food experience, disco party, or face painting. It will be necessary to craft each one as an original experience. But within each experience, you could have many packages that vary based on the amount of time and kids you serve.
To set up your Experience you will need to add:
• Description: write a catchy name for your experience and choose the relevant categories. Then write a short, enticing description and choose a suitable age category.
• Location: Provide an address for your experience if it is at a set location, and/or select the area/suburbs you are willing to travel to if you are a mobile Service Provider.
• Price: Create a package description and a price for your package. You can have multiple packages within the same experience. List any extras that are available for this experience.
• Additional Info: List any rules and requirements such as duration of activity, clothing to be worn, arrival times, power points required, vehicle access, parking etc.
• Images: Choose an enticing high-quality featured image as well as gallery images to promote this experience to your customers.
No, it’s free to sign up and list your experiences on GoLove.com
You can create as many experiences as you provide, the more visible your experiences, the better your searchability.
Not a problem, please contact Team GoLove.
You must keep the description short and enticing. Remember, most of us have a very short attention span! Explain what makes your activity unique. Highlight the benefits the children would get out of the experience. You can use this opportunity to list your capabilities and any licences applicable to your experience.
**Please don’t add your terms and conditions as they are covered by GoLove T&Cs. **
That’s fantastic! For your convenience, GoLove has categorised experiences into 4 age categories.
Babies & Toddlers (0-4), Early Primary (5-8), Primary Schoolers (9-12) and High Schoolers (13+)
Simply, select all that are relevant to your Experience.
- If your Experience is ‘Mobile’, you must select the area/suburbs you are willing to travel to. Use the bar and arrows to navigate to specific suburbs.
- If your Experience is available at a ‘Set’ location, please enter the physical address into the field provided when creating your Experience. This is the address the Customer will travel to for the Experience.
- If your Experience is available at a Set location as well as a Mobile, you will need to create two separate Experiences, one for the set location and the other for the mobile.
This is where you will fill out the prices of the different Packages you offer for a particular Experience. You can create multiple Packages for each Experience, adding short and simple titles!
Your package description should include:
- Event or experience duration (i.e. 2 hours)
- The max number of people included in the package (i.e. 10 kids)
Make sure you differentiate your packages so it’s easier for the person booking. Such as 2 hours, 10 kids / 3 hours, 15 kids.
‘Customer Pays’ will be the listed price advertised on the GoLove website. This includes GoLove Fees.
‘What you Receive’ per booking is noted below the Listed Price and includes Transactional Fees.
You’ll receive 40% of the Listed Price once you accept the booking, with the remaining 60% once the booking is completed.
GST is added only for the GoLove fees.
We do not add GST on your portion of the price (your revenue) as you are not employed by Laxmi Holdings AU Pty Ltd. Therefore we will not add any taxes, make deductions or tax payments on your behalf. GST is added to the GoLove fees payable by the Customer.
Our Service Fee is 17% plus GST for the use of the GoLove online platform, this fee is based on the total Experience cost charged by the GoLove Provider and paid by the Customer.
Our Transaction Fees are standard and are charged for every booking made through GoLove. We will deduct this small fee from your deposit payment. This fee makes sure:
- You have access to our sales and marketing team, Monday-Sunday (9am - 5pm AEST);
- The use of our website to market, manage, and rapidly expand your business;
- The marketing and promotion of the website to attract new clients to our site.
As Laxmi Holdings AU Pty Ltd is not a tax accountant, we do not know nor have the resources to provide advice about paying taxes. As with all income generation, GST obligations may arise, depending on your specific GST situation. You will need to follow state and federal laws relating to reporting income. Laxmi Holdings AU Pty Ltd is not an employer of any Service Provider and therefore, will not make any tax declarations, deductions or tax payments on your behalf.
You can create various Packages in one Experience listing. If you have different pricing depending on inclusions, public holidays, weekends, or group bookings. You can add these in as separate packages rather than a ranged price!

If you have free add-ons Customers can choose from to personalise the Experience, add these also! Just make the price $0.00. Make sure you add in how many extras can be selected at no additional cost.
Once you have added an Extra and it is saved, this addition will be available to select when creating other Experiences. They will appear as ‘select from existing’, you simply tick the ones you would like to add.
Click on the ‘Experiences’ tab on your dashboard, this will display all ‘Your Experiences’. Click on the pencil icon to edit your experience. When editing an ‘Optional Extra’ please note any changes will be applied to all Experiences that have this Optional Extra. Once you have edited the Optional Extras, press ‘submit’ and allow 24 hours for the edit to be approved by Team GoLove.
List any information that will help ensure a smooth experience for your Customers. This should be relevant information that the Customers need to know or follow, for you to carry out your experience. For example, you could include the space required for the setup, access to power, vehicle or parking access.
You can start as early as the next day! Just depends on whether the Experience has been approved by GoLove. Please allow 24 hours for the team to get your Experience ‘website’ and SEO ready.
Experiences can be booked up to 12 months in advance, and you can accept or decline bookings instantly. All future booking confirmations will be sent to you via email and SMS.
Bookings for the next day must be accepted within 5 hours, with all other booking requests within 24 hours. If you fail to accept in time, the booking will be automatically cancelled and the Customer refunded in full.
When it comes to uploading images on your GoLove Profile or Experience, there are certain best practices to follow to ensure that your images are high-quality and eye-catching. High-quality images can make a huge difference in attracting customers and increasing bookings. Customers are more likely to book an experience if they can see exactly what they're getting and the images provide a clear representation of the experience.
Here are some key things to keep in mind:
• Use a professional photographer: Using a professional photographer ensures that your images are high-quality and professional-looking. They will know how to light and pose the subject in a way that is visually appealing and captures the essence of the experience.
• Minimum pixel sizes: The minimum pixel width of the images should be 1600px, and the minimum height is 1000px. This ensures that the images look sharp and clear when displayed on the booking site, regardless of the size of the user's screen.
• Avoid using stock images: While it may be tempting to use stock images, it's best to avoid them as they can be generic and not represent the unique qualities of your experience.
• Use high-quality images: The images should be high-quality and free of any noise or grain. This ensures that they are visually appealing and show the experience in its best light.
• Showcase different angles: It's best to showcase different angles of the experience to give the customer a better idea of what to expect. For example, if it's a water park, you could include images of the slides, the pool area, and any other attractions.
• Keep subjects in the middle: When taking photos, it's best to keep the subject in the middle of the image. This creates a visually appealing composition and ensures that the subject is the focus of the image when GoLove displays your images.
By following these best practices, you can ensure that your images are eye-catching and represent your children's experience in the best possible light. This will help attract more customers and increase bookings.
Please ensure you have written authority from parents/guardians to display any images related to children on your page.
Feature Image is the image Customers first see when they find your Experience. This should be an enticing and high-quality picture showcasing your Experience. Use different feature images for different Experiences. The featured image will be used as a thumbnail to advertise your business! Please refer to image quality tips in the earlier FAQ.
The Gallery Images help Customers visualise the benefits of your Experience. You can add up to 4 images.
Click on the ‘Experiences’ tab, find the Experience you would like to edit the images for and click on the pencil/edit icon. Once in the edit mode, scroll down to the image section. Click on ‘remove’ or ‘add more’. Once you have edited the images, press submit and allow 24 hours for the edit to be approved by Team GoLove.
Yes, you absolutely can! We recommend that you do so to ensure you are satisfied with the information and images that have been uploaded. Plus, it gives you an idea about what a Customer will see. Click on the ‘Go back’ button on the top left of your screen to go back to the edit mode.
Your Experience will be sent to Team GoLove, who will review and respond accordingly. Once actioned, you will receive an email regarding the status of your Experience.

Submitted experiences cannot be saved as drafts.
Yes, you can duplicate any Experience by clicking on the ‘plus’ icon on any one of your Experiences. This is a great feature to use if you have an Experience that is available at a fixed location as well as mobile.

• Sign in to your dashboard on GoLove.com

Fun Tags are a quick method to locate a range of Experiences under a particular theme. For instance, if a family homeschools and is looking for activities, all they have to do is click on the "Homeschoolers" icon, and a list of all the suitable Experiences will be displayed.
Fun Tags are added to each Experience by our specialised Marketing Team to make it easier for a Customer to find relevant Experiences quickly.
Calendars
There is a calendar, but not a system. We appreciate you may have your system and the only time you need to use the calendar is to indicate when you would like your Experience to commence when creating a new Experience. The Customer will have to select a date and time before submitting a booking request for you to take action.
Absolutely you can! Click on ‘Availability’ on the dashboard. This feature can block out dates from all your experiences to prevent a Customer from making a booking. You will see a view with the days of the week, ‘weekly recurring availability’ on the left and a ‘daily basis’ with the calendar on the right.
• All days of the week will be pre-selected for you
• Unticking a day will make it unavailable for bookings every week (seen on the calendar on the right-hand side)
• Days in light blue on the calendar will be shown as available for the Customer to book
• Days in light pink are days that are blocked and are unavailable to be booked
• Each day can be individually ‘Blocked’ (red button) or ‘Unblocked’ (blue button)
• Example: If you only work on weekdays, you would un-tick Saturday and Sunday
• Any changes to this feature will be applied to ALL Experiences.
Click on the ‘Availability’ tab and press ‘Select Date’ on the right. Click on the date you would like to unblock and press the blue ‘unblock’ button.
No, not at this time. Any amendments to the ‘availability’ will be implemented on ALL of your Experiences.
That is because you have not amended your availability and the automatic feature on the website is to display your bookings seven days of the week.
Badges
Badges help to build trust in the GoLove community and provide Customers with additional information when deciding which experience to book.
• COVID Safe Badge - If you are a business that still operates using a COVID-19 Safety Plan that includes all the health and safety guidelines for a COVID-safe experience, you can add this badge from your dashboard.
• Working With Children Check Badge - When you add a WWCC (Working With Children Check) Badge, which may have a different name depending on your state, to your Experience listings. It indicates that you have passed the necessary background checks required for working with children. If you employ individuals who will be executing your experiences, you can add multiple WWCC numbers to your Business profile. This helps to ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone involved.
It is your responsibility to keep your records up to date as by law you need to have WWCC to work with children.
GoLove requires evidence of WWCC number, before publicly listing any of our GoLove Providers so that all parties can be confident and have peace of mind for the safety of all children in our network.
Please click on the following link and select the state that is relevant to you.
GoLove doesn’t require any specific qualifications or licences. Since GoLove is built on trust and the safety of the children is paramount, we do require that you have a current ‘Working With Children Check’ number. If you have qualifications for your particular service, it’s important to highlight that in the blurb about the experience. e.g. Qualified Art Teacher.

To highlight your specific school initiatives, click on the ‘Profile’ tab on your dashboard. Scroll to the bottom, where you can add information about your school and its initiatives to raise money.
Trust & Safety
Wow! That's incredible. To book any of the GoLove Providers, please create a Customer account and book the Experience(s) by following the online prompts.
Children’s safety is our absolute priority and we ensure that all of our Service Providers are certified with the nationally recognised Working With Children Check (WWCC). We can also provide you with their insurance and risk assessments.
When anyone works (either online or in person) with children in a paid, self-employed or voluntary capacity, they must have a WWCC clearance. A clearance means that the Provider has passed a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace misconduct. These are valid for 5 years from the Clearance Date and are continually monitored by the police authorities during this period for any changes or concerns.
GoLove requires evidence of this WWCC number, before publicly listing any of our GoLove Providers so that all parties can be confident and have peace of mind for the safety of all children in our network.
