Release by milestone.
The full agreed deal amount is funded and locked before execution. Payments are then released from that funded balance as milestones are completed and approved or when the applicable 72-hour review window expires without client action.

Provider settlement
Fees are calculated per milestone payout.
Provider Service Commission and Settlement Processing Fee are both calculated independently against the gross milestone amount being released.

Milestone review
72 hours to review a submitted milestone.
The review window starts from the platform's server-recorded milestone submission timestamp. Opening or viewing the submission does not count as an action.
If the client takes no qualifying action before the 72-hour window expires, the payment allocated to that submitted milestone is automatically released.
Request changes
The current review cycle ends. A revised submission starts a fresh 72-hour window.
Open a dispute
The timer stops and automatic release is blocked until the dispute flow determines the outcome.
Extension unresolved
Automatic release is paused while the extension request remains unresolved.
Additional services
Add deeper verification when the deal needs it.
Additional services are priced separately from transaction funding and milestone settlement fees.

Start clearly
Know what gets funded, what gets released, and what you pay.
