How Do I Send Money Through UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 12:10 pm

There are a few different ways that you can send money through UpWork. You can either use the UpWork platform to process payments, or you can use a third-party processor like PayPal or Skrill.

If you want to use the UpWork platform to process payments, you will need to have a balance in your account. You can add funds to your account via credit card, bank transfer, or PayPal.

Once you have a balance in your account, you can simply click on the ‘Pay Now’ button next to the job posting and enter the amount you want to pay. The funds will be taken from your account balance and sent to the freelancer.

PRO TIP: When sending money through Upwork, it is important to be aware of the fees associated with the service. Upwork charges a 3% processing fee on all payments, which can add up quickly if you are sending a large amount of money. Additionally, Upwork also charges a $0.99 per transaction fee for each payment you make. Be sure to take these fees into account when sending money through Upwork so that you do not end up paying more than you expected.

If you want to use a third-party processor like PayPal or Skrill, you will need to add these as your payment methods first. To do this, go to the ‘Settings’ tab and click on ‘Payment Methods’. From here, you can add PayPal or Skrill as your payment methods.

Once these are added, you can go back to the job posting and click on the ‘Pay Now’ button. From here, you will be able to select PayPal or Skrill as your payment method and enter the amount you want to pay. The funds will be sent from your PayPal or Skrill account to the freelancer’s account.

Sending payments through UpWork is quick and easy, and it offers a secure way to ensure that your payments are received by the intended recipient.
