Hire a provider on the marketplace
Find a professional, post a request, accept a fixed-price offer, fund milestones and approve the work.
While the platform is in test mode, the payments, payouts and sends described here are simulated.
This article describes a signed-in space; it is not indexed by search engines.
Before you start
- A verified identity: it is required for any write action.
- Credit or a payment method depending on your country (see “My credit”).
Steps
- Open the “Providers” catalog, filter (minimum rating, sort) and view a profile.
- Describe your need in “Requests”: providers send you offers, at a fixed price, with a milestone plan.
- Accept an offer: only one milestone is funded at a time. The amount is held, not yet paid out.
- Follow progress and talk in the platform messaging, never outside it.
- When the provider delivers, approve (held funds are released to them, commission deducted) or ask for a revision.
- Leave a review. If you disagree, open a dispute before the automatic approval deadline.
Expected result
The milestone is paid to the provider and you move to the next one; the order closes at the end of the plan.
If it does not work
- Not enough credit: top up from “My credit”, then retry funding.
- If you do not answer after a delivery, funds may be released automatically after a delay set by the platform, with reminders.
- Dispute: funds stay held during the review; the administration decides (refund, payment or split).
- While the platform is in test mode, payments are simulated.
