Hi Linda,

 

I checked your contract and I can see that you have submitted your work on the milestone created for you. The client has 14 days to approve the payment or ask for revisions. If no actions are taken, the funds will be released to you after 14 days. To learn more about our fixed price protection check out this Help Article. Thank you.

Once the client approves the milestone within the actual contract, the funds move to Pending for 5 days before the money

becomes available. Go to your Reports > Overview

Hi Linda,

 

Thanks for following up. I checked and it seems that the funds for the milestone are already in the Pending section of your Reports page. This represents the standard security hold period in which funds cannot be withdrawn. Payments for fixed-price milestones (and bonuses) have a 5-day security period from the time payment is made to funds availability. You can check out this help article for more information on getting paid for Fixed-Priced contracts.

 

Thank you.
