How Do I Put Money in Escrow on UpWork?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:14 pm

UpWork is a great platform for freelancers and businesses to connect and work together. For those new to UpWork, one question you may have is how do I put money in escrow on UpWork?

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do just that:

1. Login to your UpWork account.

2. On the UpWork homepage, hover your mouse over the “My Jobs” tab and click on the “Contracts” link that appears in the dropdown menu.

3. On the Contracts page, click on the “Active” tab to view all of your current contracts. Then, click on the contract that you want to add funds to.

4. On the contract details page, click on the “Add Funds” button.

PRO TIP: When you are ready to start work with a freelancer, you will need to agree on a price and put the money into escrow. This will ensure that the freelancer is paid for their work and that you are satisfied with the results. Upwork offers a secure escrow service that protects both parties in the transaction.

However, there are some things to be aware of when using Upwork’s escrow service. First, you should only put enough money into escrow to cover the cost of the project. Upwork does not release funds from escrow until the project is complete, so if you add more money than is necessary, you will not be able to access it until the project is finished.

Second, be sure to communicate clearly with your freelancer about what is expected before work begins. Once work starts, you will only be able to communicate through Upwork’s messaging system, so it is important that all details are ironed out beforehand. If there are any changes or problems with the project, be sure to communicate these through Upwork as well so that your freelancer can make the necessary changes.

Using Upwork’s escrow service is a great way to protect yourself and your investment when working with a freelancer.

5. In the “Add Funds” popup window, select how much money you want to add to escrow and then click on the “Add Funds & Continue” button.

6. On the next page, review your transaction and then click on the “Submit Payment” button.

7. That’s it! You’ve successfully added funds to escrow on your UpWork contract.
