In a release, GetNinjas and Rappi join forces to enable users to make purchases and hire services on delivery app. With the partnership, users will have around 500 options for types of services. It will be possible to find someone to fix the sink's plumbing or a private English teacher, for example.

GetNinjas and Rappi join forces: how does the partnership work?

With the partnership, the Rappi app has been updated and now has a “Services” tab, recognizable by the GetNinjas logo. From there, the hiring process is similar to what GetNinjas users are used to.

The user fills out a form, stating the type of service they need and some details about the service itself. Within a few minutes, up to four professionals will contact you regarding your request and provide a quote. From there, you can talk and negotiate with each one. Then, all you have to do is close the deal with the professional who made you feel most confident and gave you the best terms for hiring.

When announcing that GetNinjas and Rappi are joining forces, Rappi Brazil president Sérgio Saraiva stated that he wants Rappi to be increasingly omnipresent in consumers' routines, with technology as an ally to offer unique experiences within the app.

The CEO of GetNinjas stated that the partnership with Rappi is yet another of the great efforts the company is making to digitize the services market in Brazil.

What is missing in the interface?

Even though GetNinjas and Rappi are in partnership, payments for services are made outside the environment, directly between the user who hires the service and the professional who provides the service. Delivery and purchases made on Rappi can still be paid for directly from the app, with no changes compared to the past.

Despite the announcement that GetNinjas and Rappi are joining forces to offer delivery and services in the same app, it was not revealed whether the partnership represents a step towards a merger of the companies in the future.

Rappi is a delivery app for restaurants and grocery shopping available for Android e iPhone.
