The customer wants to receive the project before payment?

Hi all! I found my first job on Upwork, signed a contract with the customer, I completed the project, then there were a few minor edits, and this is what he wrote to me today ---
This looks great now. Please send the code files. I will release the payment soon after receiving the code files.
With CIS clients on CIS exchanges, I have never handed over a project BEFORE I get paid for it. I want to know if this is a normal practice on foreign exchanges to give the project and then pay? Or are they going to dump me? then how to act in such a situation? Thank you all in advance, I have a friend who works for Odesk but he is not online, I decided to ask here

The customer wrote:
That is, the project was funded, and therefore the money has already been paid. So there is nothing to be afraid of.
How I do it:
- I show the work on my server or on the client's server
- The customer approves
- I send him files by email / skype or via messages on upwork.
- Immediately I press to finish the project, and I attach the same files there. (there is a special field for files when you press to complete the project)
- ???
- Profit
Why send files 2 times?
1) It is more convenient for the customer to receive files immediately by mail\skype, he does not want to bother and look for them somewhere. Therefore, we send it directly to him.
2) At the time of completion of the order, you need to attach files so that if something happens, the support can see what I did and why I should get paid for it.

Hourly there with guaranteed payment if the customer believed the morning sledge payment method, fixed price with escrow always comes with guaranteed payment, in fact there are no risks

If the contract is adequate, you can drop it, but it’s generally strange, since it’s already clear that the work has been done, then I don’t understand the customer.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
