inviting a client to upwork

[steven--nasr]

If I invite a client from outside of UPwork to open a contra with me in Upwork, would his feedback affect my JSS (job success score)

Hi Steven,

Are you referring to Direct Contracts? If so, then your client and you will only be using Upwork for payments, any Direct Contracts will not impact your Upwork reputation metrics (for example your Job Success Score or Top Rated status). These contracts also will not be included in your other Upwork profile stats, such as total earnings, number of jobs, etc.

Thank you!
