When will I be paid for my work?
Funds Secured at Project Start: Before starting each project, funds are collected from the client and held in project funding to secure payment for both parties throughout the project's duration.
Client Sign-Off: After submitting your work for final review, the client then has up to 7 days to review and can either request changes or choose to release the payment.
Payment Processing: Once the client accepts your work and selects ‘Release Payment,’ the payout process begins. The payout then enters a payment processing period before being released.
What is the Payment Processing Period?
All payments are subject to a payment processing period. This practice is standard across marketplace platforms, enhances security, and prevents fraud. The standard payout processing period is 7 days.
Pro Standard and Pro Plus members receive early payouts, with a 24-hour processing period for project earnings.
