How is the payment on Upwork?

Question

Freelance

In general, I can not find where there is about payment. Suppose I responded to the task, the customer chose me, I completed the task. What's next? The money will go to some internal upwork wallet for me, where can I transfer it to a pioneer card or what?

Answer 1

The money will go to the internal account. I don't know about pioneer, I had a PayPal account linked. The money will be in pending mode for 6 days, i.e. they seem to be there, but you can't seem to do anything with them :-) During this period, the client has the opportunity to dispute the payment. If the work is at a fixed price, then the client transfers the amount to you with pens. If the hourly rate - the money from the client's account can be withdrawn automatically, once a week.
Here, and then from the internal account you can withdraw it to the outside, for example, to PayPal. But it also takes some time, I don’t remember exactly how long. 5 days, right? In short, it can take about two weeks from the moment the client pays you money to receiving it on the card.

Answer 2

This is described in great detail in the upwork help, up to the payment schedule in the form of pictures.
