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.
