setting up milestone and funding them

[654ed287]

HI, I am new to upwork and have found a freelancer to do a job. We have agreed that the job will be done in 2 parts and 50% of the money will be released after the first milestone is reached and the other half after the rest of the work will be done.

However, i am struggling to understand where can i find a portal for Escrow (if any)? How do I set up a milestone for the project? What buttons do i click in which window to setup the milestone and fund it in Escrow? What are the steps?

Help would be much appreciated. 

Thanks again

Hi Tanuj,

In order to set up and fund milestones, you'll need to make an offer to the freelancer. Once they accept it, you'll have an active contract with them. Check out this help article for detailed instructions on how to make an offer.

You'll also need to set up your billing method before you are able to fund a milestone. Check out this article for more information.
