3.4% Processing fee

[rowse02]

Is 3.4% processing fee is for 1 time payment only or everytime the client pay it will be deducted?

Hi Rose Marie,

It seems like you were referring to DIrect Contracts. Freelancers are charged a 3.4% payment processing fee. For example, if your earnings are $100 you’ll be charged a payment processing fee of $3.40 USD. You are not charged a freelancer service fee, only the 3.4%. Please note that all transactions are in USD. You can check this help article for more information.

So it means that everytime my client pays me weekly I will be deducted 3.4%
as a fee?

Hi Rose Marie,

Yes. When you’ve completed the work or worked your weekly hours, you’ll request payment from your client. Once they’ve accepted your request, the funds are released to you. As a freelancer, you’ll pay a processing fee of 3.4% of the total contract amount.
