Hi Susan,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked this for you and you successfully released a milestone payment for the contract you're referring to. When you release a milestone payment, it goes through a 5-day security period and will show under the Pending tab of the freelancer's Overview page. You can share this article with the freelancer for more information about working and getting paid on Fixed-Price contracts.

 

Thank you!
