Forhopp is committed to creating a smooth and secure payment system that caters to the needs of both freelancers and clients. Whether you’re a freelancer earning for your hard work or a client paying for quality services, our payment cycle is designed to ensure transparency, trust, and efficiency. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it works:

Step 1: Initiating a Payment

  • For Clients: Payments are made upfront when you purchase a freelancer’s service, hire through a project proposal, or secure a job post. This amount is securely held in escrow by Forhopp until the completion of the project.
  • For Freelancers: Once a client has funded a project, you’ll receive a notification that the payment is securely stored in escrow.

Step 2: Project Completion

  • Client Confirmation: After you, as a freelancer, complete the project, submit it for the client’s review. Clients have a fixed review period (e.g., 14 days) to approve or request changes.
  • Freelancer Assurance: If the client fails to respond within the review period, the payment is automatically released from escrow.

Step 3: Payment Clearance

Forhopp implements a clearance period (e.g., 7–14 days) for funds to process and ensure no disputes arise. This helps maintain a secure environment for both parties.

Step 4: Withdrawal by Freelancers

  • Available Methods: Freelancers can withdraw their cleared funds using multiple payment options such as direct bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe, or other localized payment systems.
  • Minimum Withdrawal Amount: For streamlined processing, withdrawals might require a minimum amount (e.g., $10). Smaller balances can be accumulated until the threshold is met.

Step 5: Resolving Payment Disputes

In case of disagreements, Forhopp offers a structured resolution process:

  • Freelancers and clients are encouraged to resolve the issue through direct communication first.
  • If unresolved, Forhopp’s support team steps in to mediate based on the evidence provided by both parties.
