Why Is Payment Pending on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:34 pm

There are a few reasons why your payment may be pending on UpWork. The first reason is that you may have selected the wrong payment method. When you create a new contract, you will be asked to select how you would like to be paid. Be sure to select the correct payment method, or your payment may be delayed.

Another reason your payment may be pending is that the client has not yet approved the work. Once you have completed the work and submitted it to the client, the client has three days to review the work and approve it.

If the client does not approve the work within that time frame, the contract will be automatically cancelled and you will not receive any payment.

PRO TIP: If you have a payment pending on Upwork, it means that the client has not yet released the funds for your work. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but usually it is because the client is not happy with the work or there is some sort of dispute. If you have a payment pending, you should reach out to the client and try to resolve the issue.

If your contract is still active and the client has approved your work, but you have not received payment, there may be a problem with the client’s payment method. UpWork will send an email to the client notifying them of the problem and requesting that they update their payment information. Once the client updates their payment information, you should receive your payment within a few days.

Conclusion:

There are a few reasons why your payment may be pending on UpWork. Be sure to check that you have selected the correct payment method and that the client has approved your work before contacting customer support.
