Review

Approve or request changes.

Payment releases to the creator.

For buyers

  1. Open the contract and choose Fund milestone. Review the amount, escrow fee, and tax, then pay.

  2. When the creator submits work, the milestone shows Ready for Review.

  3. Review the files and instructions. Approve to release payment, or chat with the creator to request changes.

For creators

You can start work as soon as the buyer funds the milestone. When you are done, choose Submit Work, upload your deliverables, and add private instructions if needed.

Add more milestones

Choose Add milestone to keep the contract going. Add a title, description, and optional deadline.

Milestone statuses

Not funded, In progress, Ready for Review, Needs attention, and Completed.

Unfunded milestones

The work won't start until the milestone is funded. Fund it as soon as you are ready so the creator can begin.
