When freelancers work on platforms like Upwork or Fiverr, they typically get paid through the platform's payment system. These platforms act as intermediaries between the client and the freelancer, handling the payment process to ensure that both parties are protected.
The payment process typically works as follows:
The client deposits the agreed-upon amount into an escrow account managed by the platform. This is done before work begins.
The freelancer completes the work and submits it to the client through the platform.
The client reviews the work and approves it if they are satisfied. If there are any issues, the client may request revisions or dispute the payment.
Once the client approves the work, the platform releases the funds from the escrow account to the freelancer's account on the platform.
The freelancer can then withdraw the funds to their bank account or use them for other purposes, depending on the platform's policies.
It's important for freelancers to familiarize themselves with the payment policies and fees of the platform they're using to ensure they receive payment in a timely and secure manner.
