Hire vetted wrap installers — and get hired
Short on install capacity, need a specialty skill, or working a vehicle in another city? Hire a freelance wrap installer through Wraptor and pay them safely — the money is held in escrow until the job is done. Freelance installers get a free public profile, direct messaging with shops, and fast payouts.
The problem
Overflow work shouldn't mean a risky handshake
When you need an extra set of hands, you're trusting a stranger with a customer's vehicle — and with your money. Wraptor makes the hire vetted, the work trackable, and the payment safe.

How it works
From setup to done.
Browse the directory
Search freelance installers by skill, city, and travel radius. Compare ratings, rates, portfolios, and Verified/Insured badges.
Message and agree
Open a direct thread, confirm the scope, dates, and price. No hire request required to start a conversation.
Pay into escrow
The installer sends a payment request; you pay it with a card. Wraptor holds the funds — they aren't released yet.
Hand off the job
Assign the work and share a job packet or a no-login work link so the installer runs it from their phone.
Release and review
When the installer marks the job complete, release the payment (or it auto-releases after 7 days). Leave a verified-hire review.
Capabilities
Everything in the box.
Vetted installer directory
A public, searchable directory of freelance wrap installers with ratings, rates, skills, travel radius, and portfolio photos. Filter by skill, location, and insurance.
Direct messaging
1:1 threads between shops and installers with an unread badge and an email nudge. Sort out scope, dates, and price before you hire.
Escrow payments
Pay through Wraptor and the funds are held until the job is done. Release on approval or auto-release after 7 days. Cancel before release for a full refund, or open a dispute. An 8% service fee is added on top, so the installer keeps their full quote.
Verified & Insured badges
Installers can earn a Verified badge (admin-reviewed) and an Insured badge (proof of coverage), shown on their profile and directory card.
Verified-hire reviews
Only shops that actually hired an installer can review them, so ratings reflect real jobs. Averages show on profiles and directory cards.

FAQ
Common questions.
How does escrow payment work?
When you hire an installer, you pay into escrow — Wraptor holds the funds rather than sending them straight to the installer. The money is released to the installer only when you approve the job complete, or automatically 7 days after they mark it done. If the job falls through before release you can cancel for a full refund, or open a dispute for Wraptor to resolve.
Who pays the platform fee?
The shop. An 8% service fee is added on top of the installer's quote, so the installer receives their full amount and you're charged the quote plus the fee.
When does the installer actually get paid?
After you release the held payment, or automatically 7 days after the installer marks the job complete — whichever comes first. Payouts go to the installer's connected Stripe account.
How do I list as a freelance installer?
Create a free installer account at /installers/join, build your profile (skills, rates, travel radius, portfolio), and set up Stripe payouts. You can apply for Verified and Insured badges, then receive hire requests and send payment requests to shops.
