Setting Up Payment

Once a client and freelancer have agreed to work together, they can create a contract using the Ubertalent Payment Processing system or decide on an alternative payment method that suits both parties.

Paying Freelancers Through Ubertalent

  1. Create a Contract:

    1. When creating the offer to send to the freelancer, by default, the contract will use the payment processing system.

    1. If you haven't already set up your payment information, the platform will prompt you to do so to send the offer.

    2. If you prefer not to use Ubertalent's payment processing, you can opt out when creating the offer.

    3. Once the freelancer accepts the offer, the contract will be created.

  2. Track Work and Milestones:

    • Use the Timesheets page to track the freelancer’s work hours.

  3. Make a Payment:

    1. Payments can be processed directly through Ubertalent’s Payment Processing system.

    1. If agreed upon, payments can be made directly to the freelancer outside the platform. Ensure all terms and schedules are clearly communicated and documented.
