Creating a Contract & Funding Escrow
Secure Your Project with Escrow
Once you've chosen a freelancer, creating a contract protects both parties.
Accepting a Proposal
Click "Accept Proposal" on your chosen freelancer's submission. This automatically generates a contract with the agreed terms.
Contract Details
The contract includes:
- Project scope and deliverables
- Milestones with individual budgets
- Timeline for each milestone
- Total project budget
Funding Escrow
Before work begins, you'll fund the first milestone:
- The payment is charged to your default payment method (Stripe or PayPal)
- Funds are held securely in escrow — not paid to the freelancer yet
- Once the freelancer delivers and you approve, the funds are released
Your money is safe. Escrow funds are only released when you approve the deliverables. If there's a dispute, our support team mediates.
