While this is exciting, this is not always a good thing.

Two years ago, we tried this at Homejoy as an incentives for the cleaners to get 5 stars.ie. If you get 5's on your appointment, we'll pay you out the same day. We did this manually via Stripe, of course.

Efficacy of the incentive aside (it didn't actually have an impact on 5s), we cut this program for two reasons:

1) Transaction cost, as many users pointed out

2) Unpredictability - most of the workers on our marketplace preferred the predictability of weekly or biweekly payouts, even if the size of those payouts varied. It's hard enough for people to manage personal finances on a regular schedule without the added headache of getting money instantly, or daily.
