Can I offer calls for free?
Absolutely. Just set your fee to $0 and your Expert Profile can still go live normally.
You do not need to complete payout setup for free calls, though “Earnings & Payout Settings” may not show a purple checkmark.
Why is “Earnings & Payout Settings” not checked?
If you plan to charge for calls on MIRL, you’ll need to complete your Stripe payout setup first.
If you only offer free calls, your Expert Profile can still stay active without it.
Does MIRL see my bank details?
No. Payout setup is handled securely through Stripe. MIRL does not see or store your banking information.
What should I write in my headline?
Keep it short and useful. For example: “Helping couples communicate better,” “Fitness advice without extreme dieting,” or “Career advice for creators and freelancers.”
Why can’t I find my own profile in Explore?
That’s intentional. MIRL does not show you your own profile in Explore so you don’t accidentally book yourself.
Want to preview your profile? Just tap your profile icon anytime to view your MIRL Page the same way others see it.
Should I use recurring or non-recurring availability?
Recurring availability is easier if your weekly hours are mostly the same. Non-recurring availability works better if your schedule changes often.
What happens when Instant Calls are off?
People can still schedule calls with you in advance. Instant Calls only controls whether seekers can request a call in real time.
Where do I get expert setup help?
Tap “Expert Setup Assistance” inside the app, or go to My Profile → Help & Support if you get stuck anywhere.
