How to register and list as a Electrician on Destora

Everything you need to register, complete your listing, get approved by Destora and start getting customers — step by step.

Free to register About 30 to 45 minutes Support: support@destora.in

Before you start — keep these ready

  • A phone with the Destora app installed, and internet.
  • Your e-mail address (we send a 6-digit code to it). Use an e-mail you can open right now.
  • Your exact address (you will pick it on a map). Switch on location (GPS) on your phone.
  • Your PAN card or your driving licence (either one is enough)
  • A live selfie is optional
  • One clear photo of your own work or your service (see the photo tips later).
  • Your price list: what you charge for each job, and how long each job takes.
  • About 30 to 45 minutes for the first time.

The pictures in this guide were taken in the real Destora app while registering a Plumber. The screens look the same for every service; only the names of some fields change. Those are listed in the “Your service” part.

PART 7

Going live and staying live

1

You are approved: your listing is ACTIVE

When Destora approves your listing, the status changes to green ACTIVE and you see Your listing is live. You also get a notification and an e-mail.

On the Listings tab, the listing card has a switch. ON (green) means customers can find you. OFF hides you.

Active listing: switch ON
Active listing: switch ON
Listing details: ACTIVE
Listing details: ACTIVE

When customers can see you, and when not

Customers CAN see and book you when ALL of these are true:

  • Your listing is ACTIVE and its switch is ON.
  • Your identity is Verified.
  • You have at least one Live work item or package (approved and switched on).
  • The customer is inside your coverage area.
  • You are available: it is within your working hours, or you accept ASAP jobs, and you are not on a day off.

Customers CANNOT see you when ANY of these is true:

  • ✕Listing is DRAFT, In review or has changes asked.
  • ✕Listing is INACTIVE (switch OFF) or SUSPENDED.
  • ✕Identity is Pending, Rejected or not done.
  • ✕All your work items are In review, Rejected or switched off.
  • ✕The customer is outside your coverage area.
Easy way to remember: Think of it like a shop: the shop must be open (switch ON), approved (ACTIVE), have something to sell (a live work item), and be near the customer.
2

Switch an item off (or the whole listing)

Need a break or an item is not available today? You can switch a work item or a package off without deleting it. It stays approved, but customers do not see it. Switch it back on any time.

To pause everything, switch the listing switch OFF on the Listings tab.
