Do You Pay Before or After on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:44 am

There are a few different ways that you can pay for services on UpWork. You can either pay before or after the work is completed.

Paying before the work is completed is called pre-paying. This means that you will pay for the work upfront, before it is even started.

PRO TIP: If you’re not careful, you could end up paying for work that you never receive on Upwork. Make sure that you understand the terms of your agreement with the freelancer before you make any payments. If possible, use a payment method that offers protection in case of fraud.

This can be a good option if you are working with a freelancer that you trust and feel confident in their abilities. It also means that you will not have to worry about paying them after the work is completed, which can be a hassle.

Paying after the work is completed is called post-paying. This means that you will only pay for the work once it is finished and delivered to you. This can be a good option if you are working with a freelancer that you are not as familiar with, or if you want to make sure that the work is up to your standards before you pay them.
