Escrow & milestones
Fund work into escrow and release on approval.
Part of WorkSafe™, escrow structures work into contracts with clear milestones. The client funds a milestone before work begins, and the freelancer can start knowing the money is set aside.
How escrow works
- Milestone contracts - break work into milestones with their own scope and amount.
- Client funds first - the client funds a milestone into escrow before the freelancer begins.
- Release on approval - funds release to the freelancer once the client approves the delivery.
- Refundable on dispute - if a dispute is opened, escrow holds the funds while it is resolved.
Ways to fund
Clients can fund a milestone with card, PayPal (fiat), or WRK. WRK is a utility token used to pay and settle on the platform.
Note. You pay 0% platform fees when you pay in WRK, reduced fees on paid plans, and the standard fee otherwise.
