order of sending work and payment

[anaferrari]

Hi, I´m in my first 24 hours in upwork, 

I got a liitle job to do!!!

the client send me an offer and I accepted, so I did the job, and send  the file with the final work

this is correct or should I´ve waited for payment first?

thank you for your comprehension!!!

Hi Ana,

Since Escrow is funded for the contract and you have delivered the work to your client, just make sure to click "Submit Work/Request Payment" button on the contract details page.

You can find more information about Upwork's Fixed-Price Protection program in this Help article and legal doc.

You can find valuable information in the Getting Started as a Freelancer section of the Help Center and by reading "A Freelancer's Guide to Upwork". I also suggest watching our educational videos and reading the best practice advice shared by other users:
