Each milestone payment is pre-authorized through Stripe Connect and held by Stripe until you approve. If you are not satisfied, the held amount can be refunded through Stripe.
Scope, milestones, payment terms — all codified in an e-signed contract before work begins.
Request revisions until the deliverable meets your expectations. If not satisfied, held funds can be refunded through Stripe.

"We posted a website rebuild and had three solid proposals within 36 hours. The milestone structure meant we only paid for what was delivered. Saved us from what could have been a AED 45K mistake."
"The auto-generated contract alone saved us two weeks of back-and-forth. Having milestones tied to payments gave our finance team the confidence to approve the project."
"As a provider, knowing milestone payments are pre-authorized before I start is a game-changer. No more chasing invoices. Structured RFPs mean clients come with clear expectations."
A Dubai hospitality group needed a complete brand overhaul across 4 properties. 5 milestones, each paid only after stakeholder sign-off. Zero payment issues.
