Good day to everyone,
I would like to ask about fixed-pricing's releasing of payment. So as you can see, it says in there that once the client approves the work, Upwork will release the funds to the freelancer.
Q: Will it be released right away on the day that the client will approve the work?
Q: If not, then how many days should I wait then.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Geimts Mark,
Thank you for reaching out to us here in the Community. The timing of when you'll be paid on a fixed-price contract depends on when you submit work and how quickly your client reviews it. After you submit a milestone, a client has 14 days to approve, reject, or request changes.
After your client releases your funds, we have a five-day security hold. Then, funds moved between Upwork and your account are subject to processing time. Processing time can vary depending on your withdrawal method but can take up to 8 days.
You can follow this process on your contracts by visiting Reports > Overview. Also, when your client releases a milestone, it immediately shows pending in your Upwork available balance. You may visit this help article to learn more about getting paid on a fixed-price contract.
