How do I get paid from a client on UpWork?

Question

Freelance

The thing is this: I completed my first order on the upwork, sent a payment request to the client. The client approved my request. Everything seems to be in order. But when I go to the "Get Paid" section, my balance is still $0.00. What else do I need to do in order for the money to be transferred to my balance? If anything, according to the terms of the contract, the payment was not hourly, but one-time.

Answer 1

It should still take a few days (5 it seems), so that the money is credited to your balance and they can be withdrawn.
